Living in Mountain View

Mountain View, California, named for its views of the picturesque Santa Cruz Mountains, is located in the heart of Silicon Valley. This city, which sits between San Jose and San Francisco, is home to a diverse community and a thriving small business base.

For many reasons, Mountain View ranks as one of California’s best places to live. For starters, the city was integral to the early growth of Silicon Valley and is now the headquarters of some of the world’s largest tech companies, including Google, Intuit, Microsoft, Samsung, and more.

However, being a leading city for innovation isn’t the only thing Mountain View has going for it; it’s also a city that holds fast to traditional values of community and citizen involvement. It also boasts an excellent public school system, which makes it ideal for young professionals and families alike.

And if you’re the outdoorsy type, you’ll never be short of things to do in Mountain View. Shoreline Park, a 750-acre nature reserve in the area, has a waterway system for water sports, a wildlife sanctuary for bird enthusiasts, a golf course for sports fans, a lake for sailing, and eight miles of trails, bridges, and paths. There’s even an amphitheater in the park that seats up to 22,000.

Castro Street, which is considered the heart of Mountain View, is full of delights. There’s an abundance of great bars and restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, boutiques, and more. Most of the town’s events and festivals occur on Castro Street, and it’s also the location of the City Hall and the Performing Arts Center.

Overall, Mountain View is an idyllic place to live, and there is something there for everyone.

Why We Are the Top Choice for Mountain View Accident Victims

  • Local Expertise: Deep knowledge of Mountain View County courts and the Mountain View Police Department reporting procedures.
  • Proven Results: Over $150 million recovered for clients in car, bike, and pedestrian accidents.
  • No Win, No Fee: You pay nothing unless we win your case. Guaranteed.

Proven Results: Recent Settlements

There are essentially three different ways you could recover compensation after an accident in Mountain View:

  • Filing a claim against the at-fault party’s insurance company
  • Filing a lawsuit in court
  • Negotiating a private settlement out of court

By working with an experienced Mountain View personal injury attorney, you can demonstrate the legitimacy of your injuries, prove that someone else was negligent and therefore responsible, and request reimbursement for medical expenses, loss of income, and other damages. The team at Sally Morin can assist you and ensure you get the full and fair compensation you deserve. 

What Kind of Compensation Could I Recover?

The total compensation you are awarded will depend on the individual circumstances of your case. Each case is unique, and various factors will be considered to determine how much money you are owed in a settlement.

In most cases, the damages you suffer will play a significant role in what kind of compensation you could get. Compensation generally falls into two categories:

Types of Damages in Personal Injury Claims

Special Damages
(Economic)
Quantifiable financial losses • Past and future medical bills

General Damages

Do I Actually Need a Personal Injury Lawyer After an Accident in Mountain View?

Many people wonder whether they really need a lawyer after a car accident, pedestrian crash, or other serious injury in Mountain View. The honest answer is: it depends on the severity of your injuries and how the insurance company responds.

If your injuries are minor, the damage is small, and the insurance company is being cooperative and fair, you may be able to handle the claim yourself. However, in most cases involving serious injuries, the answer is yes — you need an experienced Mountain View personal injury lawyer.

When You Should Strongly Consider Hiring a Lawyer:

  • You suffered moderate to severe injuries (broken bones, whiplash, concussion, back/spine injuries, etc.)
  • You’ve missed work or are unable to return to your job
  • The insurance company is denying liability, delaying your claim, or pressuring you to settle quickly for a low amount
  • There are multiple parties involved (rideshare, truck, multiple vehicles)
  • You were partially at fault (California’s comparative negligence rules can reduce your compensation)
  • The at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured
  • You’re dealing with long-term medical treatment or permanent injuries

Insurance companies are businesses — their goal is to pay as little as possible. Without strong legal representation, injured victims in Mountain View frequently settle for far less than their case is truly worth.

When I got into my accident I was really not looking for an attorney, however I became frustrated with the other parties insurance company. I then went online and found Sally Morin Law and called for a free courtesy consult. Annie quickly called me back and spent 30 minutes explaining the attorney process. This made my decision easy,,, an All female attorney group certainly did not disappoint. Annie and her team (Amber) were on the case immediately, making calls, sending emails and dealing with the other party insured (or lack of insured). I’m so pleased to have had this incredible team of ladies to help me through this process. They did all their professional expertise, none of which I was capable of. They advocated for me in every way from medical bills, insurance liens, med pay, demand letters, phone calls, emails etc. All I needed to do was send receipts, and most importantly focus on getting better. Thank u team for all u have done. I am grateful for so much,,, and I can say that making that first phone call was the best decision. Keep up the great work and helping others
Sincerely
KJJ

I unfortunately got injured in an auto accident and called a bunch of different attorneys with little to no help. I called Sally Morin Law and got help from Rebecca who was absolutely fantastic. She was there every step of the way to help and Isn’t just trying to make a quick buck. She took her time with me and went out of her way to help out. Thanks for all the help Rebecca!!

I was t-boned by someone who ran a red light, totaling my car and sending me to the hospital with multiple breaks to my pelvis, among other smaller injuries. Once released from the hospital, I was confused, angry, and extremely anxious about what to do next. A friend encouraged me to seek legal help, and I found the team at Sally Morin. I was drawn to their all-women team, and immediately felt assured that I was in good hands. They took the reigns on handling everything, leaving me significantly more relieved to rest and heal like my body needed. With their help, the case was settled within four months of the accident, and I can now move forward with my life and leave this behind me. I would absolutely recommend the team at Sally Morin to anyone in a similar situation!

My mom was in a car accident and was badly injured. We wanted her to focus on her recovery without the worries of medical bills and dealing with multiple insurance companies so we hired Sally Morin Lawyers. Fortunately we received Annie Heller who showed strong ownership of the case, dealing with all communications from medical to slow moving insurance companies. Annie and team helped us settle the case with money in my mom’s pocket, but more importantly helped all of us not worry about anything besides my mom’s recovery. thank you!

I was very fortunate that, by pure luck, I found Sally Morin’s firm online. It wasn’t recommended to me by anyone, but I now want to recommend them to EVERYONE, especially my fantastic attorney, Annie Heller. Annie was compassionate, honest, attentive, and responsive to my calls and emails. Throughout the entire process of my claim, I felt completely supported by her, and even after my case was successfully settled, she followed up with me. Thank you Annie, for your exceptional legal service!!
Amazing! After months and months of going it alone and getting nowhere with our sons accident, and struggling...badly, we were lucky enough to get refered to Sally and Rebecca.

They took over the whole case and handled everything.

The whole team was very personable, professional, keeped us in the loop the entire time and cared about what was going on.

They also set us up with all the right people to make sure the settlement funds were properly handled in the most efficient way for us.

I just dont think we could have done all of this without them. It was a terrible time for our family, and we are very gratefull for everything they did for us! Thank you guys! ~HavasuLew

I just spent the last 8 months working with a team of caring, compassionate, relatable women for my personal injury claim. Brief background: I was hit by a car while riding my bike to work. The driver pulled out of a parallel parking space without looking and was completely at fault. Initially, he and the others in the car were very concerned, but ghosted us afterwards and made up a story in order to not take on the blame. I ended up needing surgery and costs mounted, so I sought legal advice. After much research, I settled on Sally Morin Law. The team at this law firm is invested and responsive in a very personable way. I specifically worked with Carmen and Annie. Carmen took the lead and she answered every email, text, and annoying question my husband and I sent her way. She wrote a detailed demand letter that personalized my case and thoroughly explained the impact the accident had on my life, my children's lives, and my husband's life. In the end, our own insurance policy covered the claim to the fullest amount. Additionally, Carmen was able to negotiate the medical lien to $0, and my husband received a separate smaller amount for loss of consortium. We are more than happy with the results as it’s way beyond what we expected, and completely life changing. We didn't proceed with the case thinking we would have the outcome we did, and almost didn't pursue the case. However, after spending my own money on copays, days off from work, take out, uber rides, babysitters, and special equipment, it just didn't feel right not to seek help and I am so glad that I did! I highly recommend Sally Morin Law!

Last year me and my partner was in a MC/Car accident. I was clueless on what rights we had and how to proceed with insurance claims etc. I contacted Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers, who guided us through the year long process in a very pedagogical manner, a lot of support, expertise and professionalism - answering any questions we had in a timely manner. Highly recommended, they made a painful experience very manageable. Thank you, Rebecca, Carmen, and Amber!
