What this case looks like

A crash changes your week, your income and sometimes your health for years. The insurance company assigns an adjuster within hours, and that adjuster works for the insurer, not for you.

Michael S. Trabish has spent more than 45 years handling auto and motorcycle collision claims across Los Angeles County, from rear-end impacts on Lincoln Boulevard to catastrophic freeway and lane-split motorcycle cases.

Motorcycle claims in particular carry an unfair bias. We build the file so the facts, not assumptions about riders, drive the value of your claim.

What a claim may cover

  • Emergency care, surgery, imaging and ongoing treatment
  • Physical therapy and future medical care
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Vehicle repair, replacement and rental costs
  • Pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life

How the process works
