In this case, GJEL Accident Attorneys represented a Northern California client who sustained injury in an auto accident in Costa Mesa, California on her way to a youth group event. Despite a complex set of defendants–the driver of the van in which our client was a passenger and her insurance company, as well the youth group’s insurance company–GJEL auto accident attorneys successfully recovered $338,000, which covered the plaintiffs’ resultant medical damages, loss of future wages, and pain and suffering.
