    A Former Army Medic & Insurance Adjuster’s Perspective

    For more than 50 years, we have represented injured Californians. Founder Neal Kuvara’s background as an Army medic and former insurance adjuster gives us an uncommon perspective on medical injuries and claim handling. It shapes how we review records, document losses, and assess an insurer’s position.

    Our 14-person team manages approximately 400 cases each year. We explain each stage in plain language, provide progress updates, and coordinate with insurers and medical providers so you don’t have to manage every detail alone.

    We handle claims on a contingency basis. You don’t pay upfront attorney fees, we advance litigation costs, and we’re paid only if we obtain a recovery for you.

    Determining Liability in Uber & Lyft Collisions

    A passenger isn’t automatically limited to a claim against the rideshare driver. The Uber or Lyft driver, another motorist, or more than one party may share responsibility, and several insurance companies may be involved.

    Common rideshare accident claims include:

    • Passenger injuries: A collision may have been caused by the rideshare driver, another motorist, or multiple parties.
    • Other vehicle occupants: Coverage may depend on whether the Uber or Lyft driver was offline, waiting for a request, or completing an accepted trip.
    • Pedestrian and bicycle collisions: Liability may turn on right-of-way, turning movements, speed, visibility, distraction, and app activity.

    Evidence may include the police report, scene photographs, witness information, trip details, vehicle information, medical records, app-status records, and communications with insurers.

    Documenting Medical Costs, Lost Income & Long-Term Effects

    We consider past and future medical bills, medications, lost wages, emotional trauma, ability to return to work, and changes in quality of life. Depending on the injury record, the claim may also address future care, reduced earning capacity, pain, and limitations on daily activities.

    Settlement discussions should reflect the full medical and financial impact of the injury. We track records, treatment, expenses, and insurer communications while keeping you informed and setting realistic expectations as the claim develops.

    Communication That Keeps You Informed

    Our published client feedback frequently mentions clear explanations, timely updates, kindness, and steady support. We know unanswered questions can make an already difficult situation harder, so we return urgent calls promptly and keep you informed while insurers and medical providers respond.

    We don’t pressure people to sign or inflate expectations. We listen to what matters to you, explain what we can and can’t do, and give you the information needed to make informed decisions.

    • Wrongful Death

      Death is, of course, the worst outcome of any accident. If you lost a loved one in an accident, there is little closure or consolation. However, if your loved one’s death was due to an error by an individual or corporation, you can get justice.

    • Car Accidents

      If you are in a car accident and the other driver is at fault, that driver, or that driver’s insurance, is liable for the damages to yourself and your vehicle. In most cases, the driver’s insurance would cover the damages. However, insurance companies often do everything in their power to unnecessarily draw out accident investigations when a claim is due to pay only the minimal amount.

    • Truck Accidents

      Trucks are naturally intimidating due to their size and potential for causing damage in a collision. If you have been injured in a collision with a truck, you should be focused on recovery and not your medical bills. This is where hiring a lawyer can help you get peace of mind.

    • Bicycle Accidents

      Walnut Creek offers some amazing bike trails. Unfortunately, Bay Area drivers aren’t always the friendliest when it comes to sharing the road with cyclists. If you’ve been injured in an accident while riding your bike, you may be entitled to compensation.

    • Bus Accidents

      Bus crashes are rare, but a severe bus crash is actually more dangerous than a typical car crash. If you are on a bus during a crash, there is no seatbelt to keep you in place. Worse still, if you are injured in a bus crash, you may not know who to contact when it comes to compensation. Do you call the bus driver? The local government? Or the bus manufacturing company? Kuvara Law can help you get in touch with the right people and get you compensation.

    • Train Accidents

      As with busses, train accidents can leave you at a loss. While train accidents are rare, trains often reach significant speeds which can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Let Kuvara Law Firm deal with who is at fault and what to do next while you focus on your recovery.

    • Pedestrian Accidents

      As a pedestrian, you often have the right of way. Unfortunately, some drivers may be too distracted, or simply rude, to honor the law. Pedestrians are simply not as durable as cars, trucks, or even bicycles which means that they are more likely to sustain serious injuries after an accident. If you are injured as a pedestrian and the other driver is at fault, you have a right to seek compensation for medical expense and missed paychecks.

    • Motorcycle Accidents

      Even more than bicyclists, motorcycle riders are vulnerable to injuries due to the high speeds that they can achieve. On the other hand, some motorcycle riders may ignore the rules of the road simply because they have a smaller vehicle and are able to get away with not following the laws. A high-speed collision will cause more damage and has a higher risk of throwing the rider off the motorcycle. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, Kuvara Law can help you deal with the insurance companies and get you the compensation you deserve.

    • Boating Accidents

      Boat safety is often stressed because boating accidents can be devastating. Not only are boats sizable vehicles, but the water provides an added element of risk.

    • Airplane Accidents

      Despite the fact that many people experience anxiety when flying, airplanes are a relatively safe mode of transportation. However, when airplane accidents do occur, they can often be both terrifying and devastating. However, after the ordeal is over, you will need representation to get the compensation you deserve.

    • Work Related Accidents

      No matter where you work in the US, it is your employer’s responsibility to provide a reasonably safe work environment. If you are injured on the job due to your employer’s negligence, hiring a lawyer is the best way to get compensation from your employer’s insurance.

    • Product Liability
    • Premises Liability

      Walnut Creek owners are duty bound to ensure that their premises are safe. If you are injured on someone’s property due to their own negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

        "Wish I could give 6-stars."

        "They held my hand thru the whole thing, answering my silly calls with questions and showing great patience."

        I found the Kuvara Law Firm when I did a search for personal injury attorneys. I scanned down the possibilities but their name jumped out at me. I called, sure I didn't have a claim because I've never done this before, but on reviewing my case Mr. Kuvara said I DO have a case and assigned me to the appropriate person to get things started. They were always very friendly and encouraging whenever I contacted them. Colby is an absolute doll! Then when I had my fall and concussion Mr. Kovara referred me to a colleague at another firm that specializes in that type of case. They, too, were good and helpful and full of information I'd never think of! Everything was perfect, they really knew their jobs at both firms and took great care of me. I can't recommend them highly enough and will keep their contact information in my wallet ready to share with all who may ask! Thanks so much, Colby!

        "Simply the best."
        Neal and Colby Kuvara worked tirelessly to achieve a result I am happy with. They did not promise me anything they did not deliver. Along with this, they are decent people, not something you may associate with Lawyers. They proceeded at a pace that allowed me to heal and kept me informed of all developments in a timely manner. I could not recommend them more highly.
        - Jason D.
        "Mr. Kuvara and his team are truly amazing! He is the most kind hearted and will do everything he can to win your case."

        They are very prompt with responses and follow up. The entire process was stress free (especially going through this during the middle of the pandemic) and seamless! He heard, understood my pain and had the most sincerest empathy for me. This review has been LONG overdue. He took care of me in 2020 and has left an everlasting impression in my life. I recommend everyone to Mr. Kuvara and his outstanding team! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
