Car Accident Cases We Handle

Often caused by distracted driving or sudden stops, these accidents frequently lead to neck and back injuries.

These collisions often involve disputed liability and may be caused by failure to yield, speeding, or distracted driving.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents
Accidents involving multiple cars can create complex insurance and liability issues.
Hit-and-Run and Uninsured Drivers
These cases may involve uninsured motorist claims and require careful handling.
Highway and 680 Corridor Accidents

What to Do After a Car Accident in Walnut Creek
What you do after a car accident can directly affect your claim.
If you’re able to:
Call 911 and report the accident
Seek medical attention, even for delayed symptoms
Take photos of the vehicles, road conditions, and scene
Exchange information with the other driver
Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies
Many people underestimate injuries or speak to insurance companies too early. Getting clear guidance early can help you avoid mistakes.
If you’re unsure what to do next, speaking with a Walnut Creek car accident lawyer can help you understand your options.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Car accident injuries can affect your health, your work, and your day-to-day life.
Depending on your situation, compensation may include:
- Medical expenses and ongoing care
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and physical discomfort
- Long-term or permanent limitations
These cases are part of personal injury law in California and often involve negotiating directly with insurance companies.
In many cases, early insurance offers do not reflect the full value of a claim—especially when injuries or long-term effects are still developing.
Understanding what a case may be worth is not always straightforward, which is why many people speak with a Walnut Creek car accident lawyer early in the process.
Writing a will that truly reflects your wishes
Clear, customized guidance from experienced attorneys
A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever create. It ensures your property is distributed according to your choices, not left to state laws or court discretion. At Parker & Maloney, we help individuals and families across multiple states prepare valid, thoughtful wills that bring clarity and peace of mind. Whether your estate is modest or complex, our attorneys make the process straightforward, transparent, and designed around your specific goals.
Why every adult needs a will
Protecting your family starts with preparation
Many people assume wills are only for those with large estates, but they’re essential for anyone who wants a say in how their affairs are handled. A well-drafted will outlines who inherits your assets, who manages your estate, and who cares for your minor children. Without one, state law decides those matters for you, often in ways that don’t reflect your wishes. Our attorneys help you anticipate potential issues, minimize conflict, and leave a clear plan that makes things easier for your loved ones.

Why It’s Important to Speak With an Attorney Early
Insurance companies often reach out quickly after an accident and may try to resolve claims before the full extent of your injuries is known.
Statements can be used against you.
Evidence can be lost.
Medical documentation may become harder to connect to the accident over time.
Speaking with an attorney early helps protect your position and ensures your case is handled properly from the beginning.
You don’t need to have everything figured out—but early guidance can make a difference.
No Fee Unless We Win
Car accident cases are handled on a contingency fee basis.
That means:
No upfront cost
No hourly fees
We only get paid if we recover compensation for you
This allows you to focus on recovery while your case is handled.
