About

My name is Phil Santa Maria and I’ve been a car accident lawyer for more than 25 years.

I have received the highest possible rating for ethical standards and legal ability from the prestigious Martindale – Hubbell Peer Review Rating System. The rating is called “AV – Preeminent.” Relatively few lawyers in the United States have achieved this highest rating.

I’m also a lifetime member of The Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a group of lawyers who have successfully handled million dollar cases. Less than 1% of American lawyers have achieved this distinction.

For many years, I’ve been listed in Who’s Who in American Law which honors about 2 ½ % of American lawyers.

From being involved in thousands of car accident claims, I’ve learned a few things.

Such as . . .

1. Car insurance companies are mainly interested in protecting their interests, not being fair to you. It’s foolish to simply trust that they will treat you fairly. You can forget all that “good neighbor” and “good hands” marketing nonsense.

2. However, I also believe that you can effectively settle a routine car accident claim yourself, without hiring and paying a lawyer.

How?

You take a little time to learn a few car accident claim basics.  Once the insurance company Bad Guys see that you know what you’re doing, and learn that they can’t take advantage of you, the odds of them treating you more fairly shoot way up.

That’s where this website and I come in. Here, you can get the information and tips you need to settle your routine car accident claim, easily and without a lawyer.

Let me tell you what’s here.

First, you can read the articles at this site. They’re crammed full of “been-there-done-that” information.

You also should definitely get my FREE 10-part mini-course called “Car Accident Claim Tips.”

Then, if you want to learn more, and get the forms and step-by-step checklists you need to do the job right, you can get my ebook, The Car Accident Claims Kit.
