The personal injury claim process is a minefield for the inexperienced.

Hiring Avrek Law Firm ensures that your needs come first.

The question of how much a claim is worth can be one of the most difficult to answer, and it is sometimes best explained when you outline what you could be entitled to then discuss actual damages. Accident victims are usually entitled to receive compensation for:

  • Rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and lost earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • To find out how much your claim might be worth, click here to schedule a free consultation.

Yes! You are always entitled to a free, no-obligation consultation or second opinion on your case. If you are not happy with the attorney that represents you, or feel that the offer received by your attorney from the insurance company is not enough, call Avrek Law Firm so we can properly evaluate your claim.

Each type of case has a statute of limitations, which means you only have a certain amount of time to file a claim. In California, the statute of limitations is only 2 years for auto accident claims. But don’t wait to call! Other statutes can be much shorter, and you may not realize that you have a different type of claim that applies to your accident!

The primary route to San Francisco from Oakland runs along Interstate 80 over the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Spanning just over two miles, and consisting of two main crossings (West and East), the Bay Bridge has only five traffic lanes in each direction, causing heavy traffic congestion. In 2014, commutes across the bridge were estimated to take up to 30 minutes, with average speeds of 9 miles per hour (or worse, in the event of an Oakland car crash on the bridge). As of 2018, according to TRIP, the average San Francisco-Oakland driver loses approximately 80 hours each year while stuck in traffic congestion, resulting in approximately $1,737 in lost time and wages.

The city boasts a Mediterranean style climate and has over fifty distinctive neighborhoods including Lake Merritt and Oakland Hills. In addition to its own attractions (like the Children’s Fairyland, Oakland Zoo, and Chabot Space and Science Center), San Francisco’s tourism and tech industry contribute to the area’s massive flows of traffic, with an estimated 26 million visitors flooding to Oakland’s famous neighbor in 2019.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (which connects the two cities and is a part of I-80) saw a monthly high of 4,063,748 in one-way toll crossings during July of 2019. Two years later, traffic was already nearly back to pre-COVID highs, with 3,803,940 crossings in July of 2021. Initially opened to traffic in 1936, the Bay Bridge has since been the site of numerous serious Oakland car accidents and other incidents resulting in injury or death. In the city at large, from the years of 2012 to 2016, a serious car accident in Oakland resulting in an injury or fatality occurred twice a week on average, for an increase of 76% over four years. In 2020, despite a lower count of vehicles on the road as a result of COVID-19 lockdowns, traffic-related deaths spiked higher than the previous year (a tragic phenomenon largely shared nationwide), rising to a total of 33.
