I was EXTREMELY euphoric with my settlement.
I was involved in a traffic accident a couple years ago. I immediately secured a local accident attorney to represent me. Unfortunately, as time passed, I wasn’t feeling very optimistic about my case. Then I was so fortunate to have my case transferred to the Law Offices of Carpenter & Zuckerman. There I had the pleasure of meeting attorney Mario Martinez. He definitely has the knowledge and experience for his practice. He right away handled my case, and oh boy was I euphoric with the outcome. Talk about a complete 180. I can’t even begin to describe how satisfied I was with Mario and his support staff. They were on top of everything and made everything easy to understand. Honestly, because they are 38 miles away from me, I somewhat hesitated, but don’t let that discourage you. I never had to step foot into their office or drive that distance. However, if I ever need their services again, I wouldn’t hesitate to make the drive, because they are awesome! Best of all, my case was recently resolved, and once again I was EXTREMELY euphoric with my settlement. Thank you Mario! I will highly recommend Carpenter & Zuckerman, lawyer Mario Martinez to all my family and friends!

I couldn’t ask for anything else from them.
I had my car totaled last year and suffered some major injuries as a result. The type of service Carpenter & Zuckerman was what one would hope for. Sasha, the attorney assigned to my case, was extremely helpful and attentive to my case as well as being easy to contact. I couldn’t ask for anything else from them.

They were able to settle the case for the full policy limit.
I was unfortunately involved in an automobile accident, and retained this law firm to represent me. They were able to settle the case for the full policy limit within a short time. Everyone was super sweet and helpful, and responded right away to all of my inquiries. I can understand why they are one of the top personal injury law firms in the state!

I very much recommend Mr. Behringer.
I have had great experience with Carpenter & Zuckerman. One of their attorneys, Mr. Lance Behringer, was very gracious in giving some helpful advice to my nephew, who had been in a car accident. There was unfortunately a victim associated with the incident. The advice given by Mr. Behringer was very helpful for my nephew regarding his legal rights and potential criminal risks. I very much recommend Mr. Behringer.

My experience with Carpenter & Zuckerman was excellent.
My experience with Carpenter & Zuckerman was excellent. I worked with one of their attorneys, Lance Behringer. In my case, I had to fight my own insurance since the other driver was uninsured. I had the same insurance for years and never imagined I would need to fight them to get help when I was in need. Mr. Behringer made the process very easy for me. He spent hours understanding the case and did an incredible representation for me. He was responsive, kept me up to date with the case and was able to award me compensation higher than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Behringer.

Get the answers you need
  • What evidence do I need for my case?
    For a rideshare accident case, gather evidence such as accident photos, witness statements, and medical records. Police reports and copies of communications with the rideshare company or its insurers are also valuable. Your attorney can help identify and collect appropriate evidence to build a strong case and support your claim for compensation.
  • Who is liable in a rideshare accident?
    Liability in a rideshare accident can be complex. It may involve the rideshare driver, another driver, or even the rideshare company. The specifics depend on the circumstances of the accident, such as who was at fault and which party's insurance applies. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can help determine the liable party and guide your next steps.
  • What if the rideshare driver was at fault?
    If a rideshare driver is at fault, their insurance or the rideshare company's insurance may cover damages. Both Uber and Lyft provide insurance coverage during active rides and while a driver is available to accept rides. An attorney can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses.
  • How long do I have to file a claim?
    The time limit for filing a claim after a rideshare accident, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. Generally, personal injury claims must be filed within one to three years from the date of the accident. It's crucial to act promptly to preserve your legal rights. Consulting an attorney soon after the accident is advisable to ensure compliance with all deadlines.
