General / About Accident Defenders FAQs

Accident Defenders is led by Joshua R. Kohanbash, Esq., a former insurance defense attorney who knows exactly how insurers work to undervalue claims. That background translates into a more aggressive, informed strategy for clients. The firm offers personalized attention, direct attorney access, 30+ years of collective experience, and a strict no-fee-unless-you-win policy.

Most cases settle without going to trial. However, Accident Defenders prepares every case as if it will go to court, which strengthens settlement negotiations and produces better outcomes. If the opposing party or insurer refuses to offer fair compensation, the firm is fully prepared to litigate on your behalf in California courts or before the WCAB.

Timelines vary based on case complexity, injury severity, and whether the opposing party disputes liability. Straightforward cases may resolve in a few months; contested cases involving serious injuries or trials can take one to three years. Accident Defenders works to resolve every case as efficiently as possible while pursuing maximum compensation,  never rushing at the expense of your recovery.

Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Document everything: photos of the scene, your injuries, and any vehicles or hazards involved. Report the incident to your employer (if work-related) or call the police (if a traffic accident). Do not give recorded statements to insurance adjusters. Then contact Accident Defenders at (323) 591-2829 for a free consultation.

While the firm is based in Los Angeles, Accident Defenders represents clients throughout the state of California,  including San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, San Diego, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties. Workers’ comp cases are handled before the California WCAB statewide. Employment and personal injury cases are handled across California Superior Courts wherever jurisdiction applies.
