Car Accident

Car accidents happen every day. If you suffered serious or lasting injury or a family member was killed in a car crash, the Law Offices of Tristan Verburgt offers the strong advocacy you need. We act fast and work diligently to maximize the compensation you receive through an insurance claim or lawsuit.

The insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind. The adjusters will seek statements that pin the blame on you or press for a quick settlement that may not cover your needs. In fact, the higher your damages, the more an insurer will resist a fair settlement.

You need car accident attorney who will fight for full compensation for your medical expenses, lost income and personal losses.

Motorcycle Accident

Most motorcycle accidents occur because the driver of the car didn’t see the motorcycle — left turns at intersections, pulling out or backing onto a road, running a red light or stop sign.

There is a strong bias against the victim in motorcycle accidents, even though the evidence usually points to a negligent auto driver. If you have been seriously injured or lost a family member in a motorcycle accident, call us.

Truck Accident

There are vast numbers of commercial trucks carrying goods on our congested freeways and city streets. It’s a deadly mix, especially when the truck drivers who share the road with passenger cars are fatigued, in a hurry or driving a poorly maintained 18-wheeler big rig. If you, your family member was seriously injured in a truck accident, give us a call.

Designated bicycle paths and lanes give you a right to share the road, but it doesn’t guarantee that drivers will see you. Call the Law Offices of Tristan Verburgt if you are a cyclists who was rear-ended, sideswiped, struck at intersections or run over while riding on a side street by inattentive, preoccupied or aggressive drivers. Police reports or witnesses often blame the wrong person.

We challenge the defense arguments that the cyclist was at fault. We analyze the evidence, such as skid marks (or lack thereof), impact dents and the nature of injuries to illustrate the driver’s speed and actions, the driver failed to yield the right of way or took no evasive action, or that the bike rider had no reasonable reaction time to avoid a collision.

An insurance company (or jury) may determine that you are partly at fault for your bike accident injuries — failing to stop at an intersection, riding with headphones, not wearing a helmet. This can reduce your compensation but does not mean you have no case.

Bicycle Accident

Even with serious injuries, there are challenges to recovering full compensation if you were struck by a car. The driver and the insurance company blame the victim. Police reports offer few details. Witnesses become difficult to locate. If you or a family member was hit by a car, truck, bus or any other motor vehicle in the Santa Barbara area call the Law Offices of Tristan Verburgt.

Many people think their injuries are not severe enough to hire a lawyer. A seemingly minor injury may be more serious than you think. The damage may worsen over time or continue for months as chronic or disabling pain.

Wrongful Death

Fatal accidents are emotional experiences for all concerned: law enforcement, rescue workers, witnesses, accident survivors, and surviving family members. Wrongful death lawyers are no exception.

We take to heart the devastation of the loss of life, as well as the pain and suffering experienced by surviving family members. Contact our law office to learn how we can help.
