Glendale Accident Attorney
Law Offices of Mark Murad
Nobody plans for a car crash. One second you’re stopped at a light on Colorado, the next your bumper’s crushed and some guy from the other car is already on the phone with his insurance company. Then your phone starts ringing too — except it’s their adjuster, asking for a recorded statement before you’ve even iced your neck. If that sounds familiar, you probably don’t need a definition of what a Glendale Accident Attorney does. You need one on the phone.
That’s where we come in. Law Offices of Mark Murad is a Glendale-based personal injury practice, and when you call, you actually get a Glendale accident lawyer — not a script-reading intake rep, not a voicemail tree. We’ve found that matters more to people than almost anything else we offer.
The Kinds of Cases We Take
Most of what crosses our desk is fairly predictable: rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, the occasional motorcycle case that’s far more serious than a fender-bender. Pedestrian injuries come up a lot too, especially near Brand or in the Americana area where foot traffic and turning cars don’t always mix well. Rideshare accidents — Uber, Lyft, doesn’t matter — are their own headache because of how the insurance coverage layers work, and we untangle those regularly.
We also pick up slip-and-fall and dog bite claims now and then. Different legal theory, same basic fight: proving someone else’s carelessness caused an injury that wasn’t the victim’s fault. A Glendale Accident Attorney who’s used to that fight tends to spot the weak points in a defense faster than someone handling it for the first time.
Why It's Worth Calling Before You Settle
Here’s the part insurance companies don’t advertise: the first offer is almost never the real value of the claim. It’s a number designed to close the file cheaply, often before medical treatment is finished and before anyone’s calculated what time off work actually cost. I’ve watched offers move from four figures to well into five once a Glendale accident lawyer pushed back with actual documentation — medical records, wage statements, sometimes an expert opinion on long-term impact.
That doesn’t mean every case needs a courtroom. Honestly, most don’t. But we build files as though trial is a real possibility, because adjusters negotiate differently with a firm that’s actually prepared to go there.
What Happens When You Call
The first conversation is free, and it’s not a sales pitch. We’ll ask what happened, look at whatever paperwork you’ve got — police report, ER discharge papers, photos if you took any — and give you a straight read on where things stand. Sometimes that means “yes, let’s take this on.” Sometimes it means a case is weaker than it looks, and we’ll tell you that too.
If we move forward, you don’t pay anything out of pocket. Our fee comes out of whatever we recover, and only if we recover something. From there we handle the insurer, gather evidence, line up experts where it helps, and negotiate — or litigate — toward the best number we can get.
If you’re dealing with an accident anywhere around Glendale right now, don’t give a recorded statement to anyone’s insurance company until you’ve talked to us. The consultation costs nothing, and there’s no pressure attached to it.

Law Offices of Mark Murad - FAQs
What does a Glendale accident lawyer actually cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — our fee comes out of the settlement, and only if there is one.
What kinds of cases do you take?
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes mostly, plus pedestrian and rideshare accidents, slip-and-falls, and dog bites.
How much time do I have to file in California?
Generally two years from the injury date, but claims against a government entity can require notice in as little as six months — worth checking sooner rather than later.
What should I do right after a crash?
Get medical attention even if you feel fine — some injuries show up days later. Take photos if you can, get the other driver’s info and any witnesses, and hold off on giving a statement to their insurer.
Will my case actually go to trial?
Probably not — most settle. But preparing as if it might go to trial usually gets you a better offer anyway.
What can I recover?
Medical costs, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering cover most cases. Punitive damages show up occasionally in cases involving especially reckless behavior.
The insurance company already made an offer. Do I still need a lawyer?
Probably. Early offers almost always come in lower than the claim’s actual worth, particularly before all the medical bills and missed work are tallied up.

What Our Clients Say
I was referred this law office by a very good friend of mine, who was injured in a fall. I looked for many personal injury lawyers for my car accident until I was referred to them. They handled my injury case efficiently and professionally and advised me on what to do. They offered a fair rate as compared to other local attorneys and they handled the situation very well, and informed me on every aspect of my case, and I was able to get a great settlement at the end of the day. Thank you!
