We approach senior driver cases with sensitivity while vigorously protecting our clients' rights. We obtain DMV records, medical records, and any prior complaints about driver fitness to establish liability.
Medical emergency defenses are difficult to prove and require documented diagnosis before the crash. We challenge all emergency defenses aggressively. Your right to compensation is not affected by the at-fault driver's medical condition.
