Client Success Stories
Don't just take our word for it - hear from clients whose lives we've helped change
“The other party refused to settle so Mr. Ladva took it to a jury trial and throughout the whole time he had full control over the court room. The insurance's lawyer didn't stand a chance, Mr. Ladva was always 10 steps ahead of him, and sure enough he WON the case, convincing all 12 jurors to bring back the verdict in my favor. I can easily say Mr. Ladva is one of the best lawyers in the San Francisco Bay Area and I would Highly recommend him, very intelligent, knowledgeable and optimistic. I know for a fact if I ever needed a lawyer again I would only choose Mr. Ladva to represent me.”
- Mustafa, South San Francisco, CA
“I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Ladva. From the first time we spoke I knew I was talking to a lawyer that cares about me and my situation. He was thorough, honest, genuine, knowledgeable and very proactive. There are a lot of lawyers in the Bay Area and the thought of finding the right one can be a little overwhelming. So hopefully this review finds you before you start making all those phone calls because Mr. Ladva is the ONLY lawyer you will need to call. You won't regret it.”
- Mike, Hayward, CA
“Mr. Ladva and his whole staff dedicated their time to my case. Before coming here I had contacted other nearby personal injury law firms and no one took my case seriously. I am very happy with the time and passion that Mr. Ladva put into helping me get justice. I would recommend him to anyone experiencing a harmful work environment and needs help!”
- Julie, West Bloomfield Township, MI
“I worked with Mr. Ladva and his team awhile back and only have great things to say. The team is very professional and I felt like I was in good hands. Mr. Ladva and his team truly understand client relations and were patient with me as we moved through the legal process. Thank you for your help!”
- Cleo, Carlsbad, CA
"I was wrongfully terminated from my job, I was devastated and unsure where to turn. Meeting Ashwin changed everything. He and his associate Chris were incredibly supportive, confident, and genuinely believed in my case. They guided me through every step, communicated clearly, and fought hard in court. Their trial experience gave me confidence, and I’m truly thankful for their dedication and the outcome they achieved for me."
- Brenda, Scotts Valley, CA
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do right after an Uber/Lyft accident?
Pull over safely, assess injuries, and call the police. Exchange details with the other driver — especially if they’re an Uber/Lyft driver (get driver ID, app status, etc.). This info is key for insurance and legal claims.
What if the driver doesn’t have insurance?
Uber and Lyft require insurance and also provide additional coverage (up to $1 million). Even if the driver is uninsured, you’re still protected. Contact Ladva Law Firm to handle your claims properly.
What damages can I claim?
We help you recover:
- Vehicle repair costs
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Emotional suffering
How do I know what my case is worth?
Every case is different. We’ll assess your losses and fight for maximum compensation. And if you don’t win, you don’t pay us.
