While Auto accidents comprise a significant portion of all personal injury and wrongful death claims, the issues involved can be extremely complex. Our experience in car accident litigation is broad. We are extremely well-versed with the California and Arizona laws as they relate to car accidents, insurance issues and the requirements for the full recovery for your losses; we understand the difference between a “quick settlement” and complete compensation. Victims of car accidents are generally entitled to compensation for damage to their vehicle as well as past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and permanent injuries. At Blackman Legal Group, we help clients receive all the compensation they deserve and all the support they need as they deal with the difficult process of recovery from injury and loss as well at the legal issues involved.

This medical illustration was created for use during the trial of a catastrophic head-on auto accident. The client suffered numerous fractured ribs, a collapsed lung, contusions in her lung, and had to have a tube placed in her chest to remove the fluid. These illustrations were made after consultation with her doctors and from the actual films taken. They helped the jury to fully understand what the injuries were to her chest and lungs, and the invasive procedure she had to endure as a result. Illustration by Gale Heilman of Legal Graphics.
