“Gina assisted me with two different accidents I was involved in. She was honest, friendly, and really listened to me. Her advice was incredibly helpful and I cannot believe that I thought I could handle something like this on my own.”
Auto Accidents
It is frustrating when an accident alters your life, especially if it is not your fault. After a collision, you may feel that your insurance company does not have your best interest in mind and the adverse driver's insurance company is treating you unfairly. With me representing you, the stress of dealing with insurance will immediately stop. You will have time to recover and heal from your injuries. I will assist you in getting your medical bills paid, finding medical providers that best suit your needs, and handling all liens (hospital liens, medical payments and health insurance reimbursement rights, and provider liens). I will explain the claims and litigation process in a straightforward manner. After meeting with me, you will know your rights and know that I will be there to help you through the entire process. I have over 18 years of experience in dealing with bodily injury claims, as a paralegal and as an attorney. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, I will litigate the matter with the utmost diligence and care.
“I was involved in two rear-end auto accidents within two years that both required on-going medical treatments. I hired Gina for both because she made the entire process seamless and easy for me. She was so thorough with following up with my doctors, dealing with all the correspondence between both parties’ insurances and fighting for my wellbeing; I cannot imagine doing it without her.”
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are incredibly vulnerable drivers. They are often not seen by other drivers on the road. Additionally, motorcyclists do not have the protection a motor vehicle provides, such as an external body, seatbelts, and airbags, which results in more severe injuries. Finally, motorcyclists are often stigmatized and, as a result, it may be more difficult for them to recover what they are entitled to. I will assist you in obtaining compensation for past and future medical treatment, wage loss, pain and suffering, and replacement of your motorcycle safety gear.
“I was involved in a motorcycle accident and I am very grateful for Gina’s representation. She was able to get my past medical bills paid and recover money for my future surgery. I highly recommend Gina. She was knowledgeable and helpful.”
Bicycle Accidents
The beautiful landscapes of Santa Cruz and Monterey are prime for biking. However, we lack safe bike lanes and the roads are congested. Cyclists pay the price for these unfriendly conditions. Once involved in a motor vehicle versus bicycle collision, your life may change permanently. You may no longer be able to ride a bike or enjoy the active lifestyle you once had. An insurance company will see you as a claim number. Allow me to humanize you, paint a picture of who you are as a person, and detail how the accident has changed your life. I will navigate the complicated process of pursuing a claim and litigation.
“When you’re in physical pain from an accident, the last thing you need is more headache caused by dealing with stingy insurance companies. Ultimately, I am 100% satisfied with Gina’s quality of service and would hire her again and again (but hopefully won’t have to!).”
Pedestrian
Pedestrian accidents can be complex, frequently involving public entities, claims of failure to maintain, and design defects. Additionally, falls may require property ownership research, site inspections, and the investigation of sweep logs (i.e., cleaning records) and surveillance. I am experienced and knowledgeable in handling these matters. My representation of you will allow you to recover from your injuries without the stress of dealing with insurance companies.
