Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle
Rear-end accidents are among the most common car accidents in California and frequently cause whiplash, herniated discs, and traumatic brain injuries. T-bone accidents occur at intersections and can cause catastrophic injuries due to the limited side protection vehicles provide. Hit-and-run accidents leave victims feeling helpless but California law provides multiple paths to compensation even when the at-fault driver flees. Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims protect you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage. Distracted driving accidents caused by texting, phone use, eating, or other distractions behind the wheel. DUI accidents involving drunk or impaired drivers, which often qualify for punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages.
Common Car Accident Injuries
Car accidents in Encino and the San Fernando Valley cause a wide range of injuries. Whiplash and soft tissue injuries are the most common and can cause chronic pain lasting months or years. Herniated and bulging discs result from the compression force of impact and frequently require surgery. Traumatic brain injuries and concussions can occur even in low-speed collisions and may not present symptoms immediately. Broken bones and fractures including ribs, arms, legs, and pelvis. Shoulder and knee injuries often from bracing against the steering wheel or dashboard. Internal organ damage from the force of impact. Spinal cord injuries in the most severe cases.
Even injuries that seem minor at the scene can develop into serious long-term conditions. Attorney Anthony Girgis works with trusted medical providers throughout the San Fernando Valley who treat on a lien basis — meaning you can receive treatment without health insurance or upfront payment.

How Insurance Companies Handle Car Accident Claims
Insurance adjusters are not on your side. Their job is to minimize your claim and close your file as quickly and cheaply as possible. Common tactics used by insurance companies in Encino car accident cases include offering quick lowball settlements before you know the full extent of your injuries, requesting recorded statements to use against you later, disputing liability by inflating your share of fault, arguing your injuries were pre-existing, and delaying payment hoping you will accept less out of frustration.
Attorney Anthony Girgis handles all communications with insurance adjusters from day one. You focus on your medical recovery while he fights for every dollar you deserve.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Car Accident?
If you were injured in a car accident in Encino, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses including emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, and future treatment, lost wages and lost earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from working, pain and suffering for the physical and emotional impact of your injuries, property damage to your vehicle and personal belongings, and punitive damages in cases involving drunk driving or extreme recklessness.
California follows pure comparative negligence, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault — your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
Where Car Accident Claims Are Filed in Encino
