Car Accident Defense

Car accident lawsuits and potential coverage issues

California records over 200,000 police-reported traffic accidents annually, averaging about 1,370 collisions every day. Although California mandates that all drivers carry continuous auto liability insurance, there are certain cases where a motor vehicle accident may not be fully covered by insurance, such as:

• Coverage disputes
• Shared Fault (Comparative Negligence)
• Policy exclusions
• Reservation of rights 
• Uninsured/Underinsured claims 

Being involved in a car accident can be both emotionally and financially overwhelming, especially when you are faced with a personal injury lawsuit seeking substantial damages. Whether you are a private driver, rideshare driver, vehicle owner, business owner, or someone concerned that your insurance company may not be fully protecting your interests, our office provides experienced and strategic legal representation.

Independent Representation for Drivers and Vehicle Owners

The Law Offices of Ali Taheripour provides independent legal representation to individuals involved in automobile accidents who need experienced counsel beyond what an insurance carrier may provide. Whether insurance coverage has been denied, is being disputed, is insufficient to protect your interests, or you simply want your own attorney to evaluate your rights and options, we are prepared to help.

We work directly with clients to 

• assess liability
• investigate claims
• negotiate with opposing parties
• coordinate with insurance carriers
• challenge unsupported claims
• protect insurance coverage rights

• provide defense at trial

From pre-litigation claims through trial, we advocate for our clients to strive for the most favorable resolution of the case. Our goal is to provide clear guidance, strategic advocacy, and personalized representation focused on protecting your interests.

Demanding Accountability from Insurance Companies For California Drivers

In certain cases, it may be that the driver’s own insurance fails to abide by their duty towards their own insured to diligently investigate the facts of the case, resulting in blame being unjustly shifted and/or refusing to provide coverage.  Unfortunately, insurance companies sometimes prioritize their profits over fair compensation.

At The Law Offices of Ali Taheripour, we have seen this happen first-hand. In certain cases, our client’s insurance company refused to pay benefits, falsely claiming that our client was at fault for the accident. In others, they decided to withdraw coverage as a tactic to escape their responsibility.  We were fully prepared and in many instances, we filed a lawsuit against the at-fault driver to establish liability, then took the case further, suing the insurance company for fraud, bad faith, and breach of contract. Ultimately, the insurance company agreed to pay the policy limits because they recognized that we were fully prepared to go to trial to fight for our client’s rights. Of course, every case is different and there are no guarantees as to outcome.
