Berg Injury Lawyers

Overall, I am extremely disappointed and upset with how Berg and Berg Accident Injury Lawyers handled my legal case. I was involved in a terrible automobile accident nearly two years ago. A knucklehead driver who was either texting or daydreaming or simply not paying attention rear ended me at approximately 60 mph on the highway when I was at a standstill due to traffic. When I woke up my truck was on the other side of the highway, completely totaled. I was dazed, confused and injured. I did not realize it at the time, but later on at the hospital, I was told that among other injuries, I had sustained a traumatic brain injury commonly called a concussion.

The California Highway Patrol completed the traffic accident paperwork, stating the other driver was 100% at fault.

Prior to this accident, I had maybe a total of 4-5 headaches in my entire life. After this automobile accident, I had non-stop headaches for weeks. My energy levels went to near zero. I repeatedly struggled with being unable to remain focused. After several months the headaches began to abate, but I still had on and off reoccurring headaches for over a one-year period.

After doing some reading and interviewing several different law firms, I chose Berg and Berg because of the many good reviews I read about them. They agreed to give me the 33% rate versus the 40% rate. They repeatedly assured me I would be in good hands. The people I began to interact with at Berg Injury Lawyers had phenomenal people skills: active listening skills, patient, kind, compassionate, caring and professional. At that time, I felt I couldn’t have found a better law firm to represent me.

Fast forward to today. Berg Injury Lawyers is asking me to settle for under $20,000. Even though I have $500,000 uninsured/under insured insurance policy, they are telling me I should settle for a measly $5,000 above the $15,000 policy the driver who hit me had. I did more reading and research. The average settlement in California for a concussion injury is between $40,000 and $120,000. Berg Lawyers has dropped the ball big time in my case.

Last, they assured me from the first day they would only receive a 33% rate on my settlement. Another lie. There were other hidden fees that went considerably above the 33% rate they assured me of in the beginning. I highly recommend people stay away from Berg Injury Lawyers. They have failed me miserably.
