I was fortunate to come into contact with Jeffrey Steinberger during the summer of 2006. It was about two weeks after I was struck by a car while riding my bike on Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach and my spirits were very low. The BMW hit my Bianchi sport bike from behind, hurling me about 40 feet through the air. I landed headfirst on the pavement, severely shattering both of my wrists and fracturing two vertebraes in my neck. As an independent plumbing contractor, the ability to support my family was suddenly in serious jeopardy. A member of my bicycle club referred me to Attorney Steinberger and, from my first conversation with Jeffrey, I felt like everything was going to be OK. As a cyclist himself, Jeffrey is well versed in the dangers we face on every ride. Throughout the litigation process, Jeff and his staff kept me very well informed and didn’t pressure me to make any quick decisions. In the end, the settlement offer was above and beyond what I expected, allowing me to support my family while returning to school. Six months after the settlement, Jeff still calls to check on my physical therapy, encouraging me to get back on two wheels. Thanks to him, I probably will some day.
