Beverly Hills Car Accident Attorney
A car accident is rarely just a bad afternoon. It can bring physical pain, emotional stress, and real financial pressure, all while you deal with a system built to keep payouts low. Insurance adjusters may sound friendly on the phone, but their job is to protect the company’s bottom line, not your recovery. As an experienced Beverly Hills car accident attorney, Etehad Law steps in early to protect your rights, preserve the evidence that matters, and keep anyone from taking advantage of you while you heal.
Our clients arrive with a wide range of injuries, from whiplash and broken bones to spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injuries. Some are obvious at the scene; others take days or weeks to surface. Whatever the severity, we give each case the same careful attention, because an injury that looks minor on paper can still upend the way you live and work.
Life does not pause after a crash. You still have a job, a family, and bills that will not wait. That is why we take the legal legwork off your shoulders, handling the calls with insurers, arranging expert evaluations, collecting police reports, and managing your claim from start to finish so you can concentrate on getting better.
Whether your collision involved a distracted driver, a commercial truck, or a hit-and-run, we work to identify who was at fault and build a case around the facts. We know California’s traffic laws, insurance requirements, and liability rules, and we use that knowledge to pursue the full compensation you may be owed.

Key Takeaways
- Mandatory insurance minimums. California drivers must carry liability insurance; minimum limits are $15,000 per person / $30,000 per accident / $5,000 property (Vehicle Code §16056) — often too low for serious crashes, which is why UM/UIM coverage matters.
- Filing deadlines. Two years for injury claims (Code of Civil Procedure §335.1); three years for vehicle or property damage (CCP §338).
- Partial fault is not a bar. Pure comparative negligence reduces recovery by your fault percentage, but never bars it outright.
- Proposition 213. Under Civil Code §3333.4, an uninsured driver cannot recover non-economic damages (pain and suffering) even when another driver was at fault, with limited exceptions.
- Contingency fee. You pay no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you. Handled by Simon P. Etehad (California State Bar #186449), Etehad Law, 150 South Rodeo Drive, Suite 350, Beverly Hills, CA 90212 — (310) 550-1220.
Comprehensive Support from a Beverly Hills Car Accident Attorney at Etehad Law
From the first time you contact Etehad Law, we listen before we act. As your Beverly Hills car accident attorney, we start with a detailed conversation about how the crash happened, the injuries you suffered, and the ways they have affected your daily life. That discussion shapes a strategy built around your situation rather than a template, and it helps us decide which legal steps give you the strongest footing.
Once we take your case, we move quickly. We gather witness statements, review crash reports, request surveillance footage when it exists, and bring in accident reconstruction experts when the facts call for it. The goal is a clear, well-supported account of what happened and how it has changed your life, one that captures both the economic and the non-economic losses rather than just the numbers on a medical bill.
Many people come to us worn down by unanswered calls, lowball offers, or outright denials. We recognize those tactics and we counter them. Because we prepare every case as if it may go to trial, insurers tend to take our clients seriously and negotiate in good faith. As your Beverly Hills car accident attorney, we work to recover every dollar you are owed, which may include compensation for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
In some situations, punitive damages may also be available when the at-fault driver acted with extreme carelessness, such as driving drunk or at reckless speeds. We look at every angle so nothing is left on the table.
We also handle the reality that many crashes involve uninsured or underinsured drivers. When that happens, we pursue all available coverage, including your own UM/UIM policy. If a defective vehicle part or a dangerous road condition contributed to the accident, we investigate whether a third party shares responsibility as well.
Throughout the process, we keep you informed and involved. You should never have to guess where your case stands or what comes next. We believe trust is built on transparency, and we work to earn it at every stage.
Trusted Beverly Hills Car Accident Attorney for Support After a Crash
We do not treat injury claims as numbers. Behind every file is a life that was interrupted, a family under stress, or a future that suddenly feels uncertain. We understand the fear, frustration, and confusion that follow a serious crash, and we respond with straight answers, steady action, and genuine compassion.
Our team is built on a simple idea: you deserve representation that works as hard as you do. We are not intimidated by large insurance companies, corporate defense lawyers, or complicated medical evidence, and we bring the same level of preparation to every case we take. Opposing parties tend to learn that we do not play games, but we also will not tolerate stalling or bad-faith negotiation. Whether we are handling a complex Brain Injury claim, a Motorcycle Accident case, a Bus Accident, or pursuing accountability after a Head-On Collision or Soft Tissue Injury, our approach stays focused, efficient, and determined. When you retain Etehad Law, you send a clear signal that your case matters and that you are ready to stand up for what is fair. From our Beverly Hills office, we serve injured drivers, passengers, and their families across Los Angeles and the surrounding communities of Southern California.

Our results speak for themselves
“I went to him 2.5 months ago after my husband came limping home after a car hit him while on his bike. I'm very thankful I did. He won us the max on the insurance limit. Of course that was nice.....but he also sent my husband around to the doctors he works with and my husband received the BEST CARE and is in full recovery. Simon and everyone in his office are great people!”
“I got into an accident and reached out to Simon Etehad. He and his team are very professional and helped me get a great settlement. Anytime I needed them, they were only a phone call away and they would even call me and email me regularly with updates on my case.
