At Silver Golub & Teitell LLP, our attorneys and knowledgeable staff thoroughly investigate the circumstance of each auto accident case, including interviewing witnesses and consulting with experts, before agreeing to represent someone seriously injured in an automobile accident. We only accept those cases where the fault is clear and individuals have suffered the most serious injuries.
In one notable case, Silver Golub & Teitell partners Richard A. Silver and Peter M. Dreyer reached a settlement of $11.8 million on behalf of Rene Villard, whose car was struck by a drunk driver who also tested positive for marijuana and was speeding at the time of the motor vehicle collision. Please see the “Representative Cases and Results” section below or our Cases & Results page for some of our other auto accident cases.
