A Negligent Driver Took Your Loved One.
It's Time to Demand Justice.
Common Causes of Fatal Motor Vehicle Collisions
Distracted Driving
A split second of looking at a cell phone or running a red light can destroy a family forever. We subpoena cell phone records and pull intersection camera footage to prove exactly when a driver chose distraction over human life.
Failure
to Yield
Drivers constantly claim they 'just didn't see' the motorcyclist before turning directly into their path. As an attorney who used to ride and still has an M1 endorsement, I know an at-fault driver's use of this excuse may constitute negligence.
Impaired
Driving
Choosing to drive while intoxicated is an egregious act of gross negligence. In wrongful death cases involving impaired drivers, we aggressively pursue maximum punitive damages, as some decisions demand more than compensation.
Hit-and-Run
Collision
Fleeing the scene of a fatal crash is both, a cowardly and criminal act. We work alongside law enforcement to identify and pursue the responsible driver. Further, you may also be able to utilize your loved one's Uninsured Motorist coverage.
Protecting Your Loved One's Legacy
In the aftermath of a fatal car or motorcycle accident, you might expect the at-fault driver’s insurance company to do the right thing. They won’t. Instead, they immediately begin building a case to shift blame onto your loved one.
This tactic is especially ruthless in motorcycle fatalities, where adjusters weaponize ‘biker bias’ to paint your loved one as reckless or speeding. They cannot pull those tactics on us. As a licensed rider with an M1 endorsement, I know the realities of the road firsthand. I know exactly how to dismantle their narrative, expose their bad faith tactics, and fight back.
We independently investigate every crash to build an ironclad wrongful death case. We are not only fighting for compensation, but, more importantly, we fight to protect your loved one’s name and secure the justice they deserve.
How Briscoe Law Supports Your Family
While you grieve, we handle everything. We immediately intercept all calls from insurance companies, investigators, and adjusters. They are legally forbidden from contacting you directly.
The sudden financial burden of emergency medical care and funeral expenses should never fall on a grieving family. We demand full reimbursement for every one of these costs so you can focus on honoring your loved one.
If your family relied on your loved one’s income, this loss can threaten your home, your stability, and your future. We partner with leading economic experts to calculate and recover the full value of their lifetime earning capacity, benefits, and financial contributions to your family.
No amount of money can replace your loved one, but California law recognizes that families deserve substantial compensation for the loss of love, support, guidance, comfort, and companionship. We fiercely advocate for the full emotional weight of what was taken from your family forever.
When a driver chooses to get behind the wheel while intoxicated and takes a life, California law allows families to pursue punitive damages beyond standard compensation. We evaluate every wrongful death case for this possibility.
