“I sought out legal assistance from Mr. Meissner’s office for personal injury following an accident (the other driver’s 2nd DUI), after my chiropractor (Dr. Aldrich) recommended him. My first meeting with him and his assistant Katie was friendly and supportive, and it was comforting to know my attorney cared about knowing who I am as a person, rather than being just another case. They worked with me to ensure I received adequate treatment for my injuries, and were even very easy to work with while I spent some time out of the country. They fought hard for my case, and I walked away with ample recompense for my losses – all the while being very realistic about what I could/would receive. I am so grateful for all the effort they put into ensuring every part of my case had its i’s dotted and t’s crossed, and I could not speak more highly of this office and the work they do.
Wrongful Death
When a person dies due to the negligence or wrongful acts of another party, the family members of the victim may bring a lawsuit on his or her behalf. California’s wrongful death statute spells out which family members may bring a suit, and in what order of priority. For instance, if there is no spouse, child, or living parents, then siblings, nieces or nephews, grandparents, or the deceased’s next of kin may be eligible to bring an action.
Hit and Run
“I highly recommend using the services of Mr. Meissner if you are ever in a car accident. I was a victim of a hit and run. What I appreciated about Robert is that he took the time to know me on a personal level before discussing business. Also, having him on your side will give you the security that every detail is addressed and he has your best interest during the entire process. As an example, my insurance company wanted to hold me 100% responsible without talking to me and based their decision on a discussion with a lady that I was pushed into. No review of a police report but a conversation with someone who wasn’t even their client!!! Robert asked what I thought, and after sharing some expletives, before I knew it I was on a three way call with GEICO. It was beautiful. My situation was quickly straightened out and my settlement was more than fair. Lastly the staff was professional, personable and patient answering all my questions. Overall this was great experience and I am forever thankful.”

Property Damage
California law requires every driver to carry proof of financial responsibility in the event they are liable in an automobile accident. The most common method used is liability insurance. The minimum liability limits in California are 15/30/5, which means that a negligent driver is liable to accident victims in the amount of $15,000 for personal injury to one person, $30,000 total for injuries to more than one person, and $5,000 for all property damage arising out of the accident. Obviously, these limits are very low, and a prudent driver will purchase much more liability insurance to protect his or her personal assets in the event the driver is sued for causing an accident.
