How We Build a Car Accident Claim
We investigate the collision, determine which evidence supports the claim, and evaluate how California personal injury law applies. When an insurer disputes fault or minimizes an injury, we respond with documented facts rather than assumptions.
Our work may include:
- Investigating responsibility: Reviewing photographs, witness information, vehicle records, road conditions, and the drivers’ accounts.
- Documenting injuries: Gathering medical records and information about treatment, symptoms, and lasting limitations.
- Calculating losses: Evaluating medical expenses, lost wages, future needs, pain and suffering, and qualifying out-of-pocket costs.
- Handling insurance communications: Presenting the claim and responding to insurance adjusters during settlement negotiations.
- Preparing for litigation: Taking the case to court when it can’t be reasonably resolved through negotiation.
Under California’s comparative fault rules, responsibility may be divided among multiple people. Available compensation can depend on that allocation, the supporting evidence, applicable insurance policies, and the connection between the collision and the claimed losses.
California personal injury claims generally have a two-year filing period under Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. Exceptions and shorter deadlines may apply, particularly when a government entity is involved, so prompt legal review is important.

The best call I made after my accident was to Barry Regar. He and his team are responsive and smart and managed the pain of dealing with the insurance company and others as I recovered from a broken arm--the result of a trip and fall. Barry Regar successfully got me a generous settlement that was easily twice what I had hoped for!

Many are quick to denigrate lawyers but not all lawyers deserve the reputation. I called Barry Regar on a Sunday afternoon and, unlike the others I Called, Barry returned my call quickly even though it was Sunday. After I gave Barry the history of my accident he acted quickly and decisively. He laid out how things would proceed, The expected timeline of events, and a clear understanding of his charges. Barry did not hand me off to an associate but rather was hands-on throughout the process. Barry communicated regularly, keeping me informed as to the progress he was making and what to expect. I never felt like he left me hanging. When I called him, he was always quick to answer the phone. Everything happened just as he said. We got the maximum from the other party. I would highly recommend Barry to anyone needing good, strong representation in the courts.- Robert H.

Barry Regar is a Top Personal Injury Lawyer with four decades of experience and fought my case with the Insurance Company and won! I am very pleased! I had a trip and fall accident and I was trying to get over the pain. A friend suggested I call Barry Regar and I'm glad I did! My pain got worse and I had many tests and Doctor appointments. Barry was so knowledgeable with personal insurance companies and Medicare and he solved many billing issues that kept coming up! Barry has impeccable follow-through and would always call me with questions or good news! He handled my claim expertly and made it so easy for me since I know nothing about personal injury law and it would have been a monumental task to do it myself. Barry's assistant was always there for me and as a team, they work wonderfully together and his door is always open! I was very pleased with the final results, it has made my life much easier.
