Auto Property & Uninsured Motorists

At the California auto accident subrogation Law Offices of Fred M. Charness we work exclusively in the area of insurance subrogation in the state of California. We work for insurance companies, third-party administrators, and independent adjustment companies.

Law firm founder, Fred M. Charness, is a veteran litigator with more than 35 years of courtroom experience. He has been working in insurance subrogation for more than 20 years. He is a member of the National Association of Subrogation Professionals. His daughter, attorney Leigh Charness, joined the firm in 1996.

At the Law Offices of Fred M. Charness, we take pride in offering superior service to our clients. Efficient, effective, results-oriented problem solvers, we work hard to minimize your problems and while securing maximum results on your case.

You can expect a prompt, personal response to all phone calls and quick access to information about your case. We have implemented an office-wide computer network that allows any staff member access to an accurate and up-to-the-minute summary of every auto accident and uninsured motorist case we are handling anywhere in the state.

California Auto Accident Subrogation

Our California insurance subrogation lawyers can handle every aspect of your auto accident subrogation case, including property damage, and uninsured motorist (UM) claims. We begin each case by reviewing liability, determining if additional investigation will be required (and notifying our client promptly if that is the case), and sending a letter to the adverse party requesting contact. If no response is received within 30 days, we file a lawsuit in court to begin proceedings toward a judgment.

In California, we can have the license of the judgment debtor suspended until the judgment has been paid. This is frequently an incentive to payment and a strategy we regularly pursue. We also garnish wages and levy bank accounts. 

As an added service to our valued clients, we will:

  • Handle insurance claims of all amounts
  • Manage receipt of payments from judgment debtors who have set up payment plans
  • Secure assignment of rights from insured so that we can seek recovery and collect their deductible at no cost to the insured or insurer, as a courtesy for your business.

To learn more about our services relating to recovery of auto accident and uninsured motorist coverage, please contact our auto insurance subrogation law firm to speak to an experienced California third-party subrogation attorney.
