I was referred by Mr. Bergman by my physical therapist because of my pre-existing condition of MS. I was rear ended in an accident and I recall when I called the police about it, they hung up on me. I felt so lost after being hit and was not sure what to do. Geico was aggressive with me trying to offer me a settlement right away without knowing the full extent of my injuries. I am grateful that I reached out to Mr. Bergman who was able to inform me of all my rights and that I decided to treat, especially since I have MS, and I was able to make a full recovery and settle fairly for what I went through. Not only was Mr. Bergman helpful, but when I was having issues with getting my car fixed, his assistants were on the phone with me and the insurance company and dealership to get it taken care of. I would highly recommend Mr. Bergman and his team to anyone! Thank you!

I found Mr. Bergman through researching an attorney after being rear ended late one night in September 2023 in Washington DC. This is my first experience going through the claims process. I discovered that the person who hit me, through Mr. Bergman?s investigation, was charged with arson and faced criminal charges for that. Mr. Bergman was able to refer me to doctors in my area to treat me for my injuries and thankfully I have fully healed. Furthermore, Mr. Bergman was able to settle my case fairly and I am content with his services and would highly recommend him.

I was t-boned in a car accident in VA and my sister in law had been represented by Mr. Bergman in prior accidents she?s had so she referred me to him when she found out what happened to me. Mr. Bergman took my case right away, acted swiftly, made sure to advise me to give no recorded statements and referred me to a chiropractic office to help me get relief from the injuries I was suffering from. Mr. Bergman was able to take care of my case fairly quickly and I am very pleased with this firms services and would highly recommend.

I was rear ended on the NJ turnpike with my friend in August of 2022 and I was referred to Mr. Bergman by a friend to represent me in a multi-car accident. I was injured in my back, arm and leg and I was able to make a full recovery thanks to the medical team that Mr. Bergman referred me to. Mr. Bergman was able to get the policy limits for the accident and then further set up an underinsured motorist claim with my insurance due to not enough policy available to cover my pain and suffering. I would highly recommend Mr. Bergman as an attorney, he does a wonderful job. With my settlement compensation, I will be treating myself to a much deserved get away.

I was referred to Mr. Bergman by a friend after I was in a multi-car accident on the NJ turnpike while we were slowing down due to another accident up ahead. My friend and I were on our way and got rear ended due to the slow down. I am grateful to Mr. Bergman for setting me up with the right medical care and settling my case with two insurance companies due to this accident. He made sure to exhaust all the benefits available to me and got the policy limits for my case. I have to mention that being that this accident happened in NJ, the laws regarding MVA?s are quite different but Mr. Bergman was able to navigate all of it and get me a very fair settlement. I would recommend Mr. Bergman and his team to anyone who needs representation after an accident, he knows his stuff!

I had an accident in 2020 against a Statefarm insured and they refused to settle my case in fairness. It look lengthy and complex litigation to get Statefarm to finally make an offer of a fair settlement. Only when Mr. Bergman and his legal team cornered Statefarm with the options of going to trial or settle fairly, did they decide to settle. Statefarm put up multiple hurdles and delays with their legal counsel but Mr. Bergman and his team finally gave me justice for something I was not at fault for. This is the second case Mr. Bergman has handled for me and I am appreciative of Mr. Bergman for staying on the case, and for finally getting Statefarm to do what they should have done in the first place. I highly recommend Mr. Bergman and his fantastic legal team to handle your injury claim, he will stay on the case no matter how long it takes to get the win. Thank you!

I was referred to Mr. Bergman after I was rear ended with my two small children where the car that hit me flipped over from the impact it had with our vehicle. I took my children to the hospital and thankfully their injuries resolved and their cases settled, but I was more injured from the impact and had more intense medical care for my injuries. At first, the at fault insurance company did not want to resolve my claim fairly because they believed that I was exaggerating my injuries. I did delay a little in getting an MRI done because of my work schedule and personal matters happening in my life but I did get that done to prove what this accident did to my body. Thankfully, with Mr. Bergman?s fierce advocacy he was able to settle my case for the entire policy available for my injury. I would highly recommend Mr. Bergman to anyone who has been impacted and injured in an accident or any injury matter because I am confident that he can deliver great results and won?t stop fighting until he gets every cent out of the insurance company to fairly settle a claim.

I was rear ended on my way home one evening and that accident caused me so much pain. I found Mr. Bergman through the grape vine and so glad he and his team represented me on my cases. I required extensive medical care and the at fault insurance company did not want to settle my case because they believed that due to my age, I had pre-existing conditions that would explain all the medical care I sought for the pain in my back. I worked very closely with Mr. Bergman and his team to prove that I did not have these issues prior to this accident and it took almost 3 years but Mr. Bergman was successful in proving my claim and was able to settle it before the statue of limitations came up and we would have been forced to file a suit in my case. I am very grateful to have been able to avoid all the added pain of dealing with a case in litigation and that Mr. Bergman was able to settle my case very fairly for what I went through. I have been a big believer in Mr. Bergman and his team and because of my line of work, I have know many friends who have been in accidents and I never hesitate to refer them to Mr. Bergman and contact Karla to let her know I referred a potential case to them. I have 0 hesitations in referring Mr. Bergman and his team, I know that they deliver and advocate strongly for all their clients. Thank you so much for all the work you did for me and my case!

I was recommend to Mr. Bergman by one of my medical providers after I had been rear ended in DC by a NC resident. I had not been in an accident in a long time but my prior accident was not handled as greatly as how Mr. Bergman and his team handled my most recent accident. It happened in September of 2023 and we settled in March 2024 for a very reasonable and fair offer which I am very happy about. Mr. Bergman worked very hard to make sure I got the right settlement for my case and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has been injured.

I was referred to my Mr. Bergman and his firm through a family member after being rear ended in MD. I got medical care and guidance from Mr. Bergman as to the claims process and what to expect when dealing with injury and insurance claims and this was my first experience. I am extremely grateful for what Mr. Bergman was able to do in my case and would highly refer and his team if you need an injury attorney. My settlement will help me pay down student loans which I?m very grateful about.

Mr. Bergman was referred to me by my friend, Cesar, because I was involved in a car accident where I was t-boned at an intersection and was injured. Mr. Bergman was able to take the stress off of dealing with the insurance company when it came to my injury claim. The person that hit me was in a rental vehicle and Mr. Bergman?s team had to track down the insurance that person had but thankfully that was something they were able to handle. I am grateful that the only thing I had to worry about was getting my medical care and heal from my injuries. I would recommend Mr. Bergman to anyone who has been in an accident.

I was involved in a car accident where I was rear ended but the car I was driving was owned by my prior boss. My prior boss did not pursue a property damage claim against the person who hit us but I was injured in this accident. Mr. Bergman was able to recover a fair settlement for me and settle out all my medical bills for my case. I understood that my case was not as strong because I did not have a property damage claim to support my bodily injury claim but that was not up to me since I was not the owner of the vehicle. We won my case because the person that hit us admitted contact with the car and thanks to that, we were able to recover a fair settlement for my case. I am very grateful to Mr. Bergman and his team, they were very helpful in the process and fought to get my case resolved. I would highly recommend him with no hesitations.

I was in a car accident in VA on the way to NC when I was suddenly rear ended on the highway. I went to the hospital and hired Scott since he was referred to me through family. I didn?t do other treatment due to my specific circumstances, so the only treatment I got was being seen at the ER nearby. I am very happy with my settlement because it was purely based on the treatment I received at the hospital and Scott was able to get me a very fair offer for the pain and suffering of my accident. Not only did he get me a fair settlement but had my medical reimbursed to me through the MedPay benefits I carried which was an extra win in my case. If I could, I would have done more in my case, but I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Scott if you find yourself in a similar situation.

I was the driving on the way to school to pick up my grandkids with my daughter when suddenly we were t-boned in an intersection that now has a traffic light installed there to avoid more accidents in the area where we were hit. My family member and prior client of Mr. Bergman referred me to him and I am very happy with his services and would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone who needs representation. If you are not sure if you have a valid claim, just call and ask, you lose nothing in calling. I am walking away with a great settlement for my claim and healed from the injuries I sustained due to this accident. With my settlement I will be taking a much needed trip, bless some family members and take care of some responsibilities.

I was in a car accident with my mom on Halloween in 2022 in Washington DC where we got t-boned in an intersection. The police came to the scene and issued a report. We were referred to Mr. Bergman by a family member who was his client as well and we are so glad we went with him. He was able to guide us through the medical care that we needed and protect us appropriately in the claim. We had to not only do a bodily injury claim but open an underinsured motorist claim to get us the fair compensation we deserved for our pain and suffering. I am very grateful to Mr. Bergman for doing such a great job on our case and I would highly recommend him if you have an injury case. With my settlement money I am going to treat myself and invest & save!

Mr. Bergman represented me in a case back in 2018 and then again recently where I had 2 accidents within a 5 day period from each other. Even though I was a bit delayed on getting medical care, Mr. Bergman was still able to recover a fair settlement for both claims. The insurance companies tried to point fingers and blame the injuries on each other but Mr. Bergman fought for me and got them to offer me fair compensation for my injuries. I found Mr. Bergman in my first case from a referral from my mother and I would have no hesitations in referring Mr. Bergman and his firm to represent anyone who is injured due to a car accident, slip and fall, or any other form of injury due to liabilities that could have been prevented. Thanks to this settlement, I am able to fix a car I got and send money to my family in Africa, and invest more. Thank you Mr. B for all your help.

I was in a car accident with my daughter in VA where we got rear ended in June of 2023. I have hired Mr. Bergman on a prior matter in 2018 and when I was in another accident, I had no doubt in who to call to represent me and my precious child. My daughter did not get any medical care after the accident but Mr. Bergman was still able to get a settlement for her case as being a passenger at the time of impact. I am very happy with Mr. Bergman and his services and would highly recommend him if you find yourself as a victim of a car accident.

Scott Bergman pushed relentlessly for compensation for an accident cause by an uninsured motorist. Even though I had pre-existing injuries, he was able to recoup a good chunk of money. That money eventually helped us put a down payment on a house, which we otherwise would not have been able to afford. Mr. Bergman provides solid legal advice plus the fight of a pit bull to win you just compensation. Also, Mr. Bergman has represented me in 4 accidents and I would highly recommend him to represent anyone who has been a victim of a car accident.

I hired Mr. Bergman after I suffered a slip and fall in Safeway in Baltimore. I was pregnant when I fell and I hired Mr. Bergman because I had read his reviews and decided to give him a call. He was able to guide me through the claims process against Safeway and refer me to a great doctor to treat me for my injuries. As a result of his representation and guidance, I got a fair settlement for my claim and I am very pleased with the outcome. Now, I can move forward with my life and and feel sure that if I ever had another accident that I am well represented by Mr. Bergman because I know I can count on him whenever I am injured. Thank you Mr. Bergman and his team for taking great care of me!

Mr. Bergman is truly a problem solver. My mom recommended me to Mr. Bergman after he solved her problems from her own accident, and I am so glad I listened to my mom. I am a traveling nurse who was working in South Dakota and was rear ended by someone who had no insurance. My insurance was based in TX and did not want to pay out my PIP to cover my medical expenses or offer me a fair settlement for my injuries and pain and suffering. We had a lot of issues with the adjuster working my case and Mr. Bergman never let up. There was a point where I didn?t think I would see any money for my pain and suffering and thought only my medical bills will get paid but Mr. Bergman said, ?NO, we will fight?, and fight he did. I am a very happy client, I am very grateful to Mr. Bergman and his team for supporting me every step of the way during my case. Even though the medical providers that treated me have never worked with Mr. Bergman before, he was able to negotiate the bills on my behalf and leave me debt free and walking away with a fair settlement. I would highly recommend Mr. Bergman for anyone who finds themselves as a victim of an accident.

I was in a car accident while on a trip to Miami, FL and it was a hit and run. The rental company that I rented a vehicle from screwed me on the insurance and Mr. Bergman was able to walk me through the claims process to cover me for my damages due to being a victim of a hit and run while in a rental vehicle.

Mr. Bergman is an exceptional lawyer who represented me and my niece in our car accident case. I had never been in a motor vehicle accident and didn't know what to expect but thank God I found Mr. Bergman to guide me and represent me during the whole process. I never felt abandoned, he was always communicative with me and I followed all his instructions to the T. Him and Candida are a wonderful team who kept me updated with my case status. His fee is reasonable and I believe that with his representation I got a much better value for my case vs. another lawyer who is more focused on quantity of cases vs. doing the right things per individual client/case. Mr. Bergman really cares about each client and getting the best out come according to case circumstances.

Mr. Bergman was referred to me by my grandfather who was a previous client. I was in a Megabus traveling interstate back home when I was suddenly awoken to the bus rolling over. I was on one side of the bus and rolled over to the other in this accident and it was purely the bus drivers fault. I called Mr. Bergman and he got back to me immediately after I left my initial message about my situations and walked me through the game plan to protect my rights. On top of that, his team was always in communication with any updates I needed to hear about. I did medical treatment and Mr. Bergman was able to get me 4x my specials for my settlement. I am so glad that he was able to resolve my case and get me such a great return on my case for my pain and suffering. If you find yourself in a vulnerable situation where you are injured, I couldn?t recommend Mr. Bergman and his team highly enough. Thank you for all your help!
