Law Office of Daniel H Rose

I was hit by an uninsured motorist while riding my bicycle. The driver, after determining I was at least alive, decided to flee the scene without a trace. Well, almost without a trace, since a security camera near the scene recorded the car shortly afterwards. I was taken by ambulance to emergency at a nearby hospital, where I was diagnosed with a broken collar bone that required surgery.
I called Dan the next day to get his advice. After we discussed my case in detail, he took my case and immediately went to work.
Dan built a solid case for presentation to my insurance company, and in a short period of time secured for me a policy limits settlement that covered all my medical expenses, lost income, and the pain/​suffering and general inconvenience that I’ve endured. Dan also managed to ensure that my medical insurance company relinquished its claim on any potential settlement. Lastly, when the settlement payment was eventually confirmed, Dan was extremely generous concerning his contingency fee.
In summary, I cannot recommend Dan highly enough as a personal injury lawyer for cyclists involved in collisions with vehicles. He is experienced, sympathetic, rigorous, organized, and extremely ethical.

Please don’t advertise medical malpractice cases, if you won’t take 30 seconds to hear what seems like a cut-​and-​dry case of unnecessary surgery.
I understand your time is valuable, I am upset because no one will even listen or point me in the right direction.
I was surprised and I thought It was nice that he reached out to me after initial contact and I only called because you have some great reviews. Will be speaking with soon.

DanRose is the fastest lawyer I know when it comes to getting settlements. I’ve talked with many other people about their own personal injury and settlement cases throughout the years after I met Dan rose in 2011. None of them have ever been as fast as him. He’s very to the point, so if you’re looking for bedside manners, go hire room service at your next hotel, because this guy will keep you on the ball until the case is over. Dan Rose comes off intelligent, direct, sincere, empathetic, and determined. Every time I contacted Dan Rose I got a very fast and educated response. I remember calling him at 9:30 PM to leave a voice message and he picked up the phone eager and willing to help me with any questions I had.
In fact he even took my case when it looked like a small one. He really does care and has this tenacity to work harder than anybody else I have seen in the profession of lawyers. His number is always saved in my phone and he will always be my first choice.
Just call this guy now and save yourself a lot of time and hassle, because if your reading this far, you are contemplating that phone call already.

I was involved in a motorcycle accident and was injured pretty badly. I contacted Daniel shortly after the accident and the first thing I noticed was how sympathetic and compassionate he was about my condition. He clearly explained what to expect in the coming weeks and handled the entire situation relieving me of all the stress of having to deal with the accident aftermath.
Unlike another reviewer here, Daniel actually knew early on that the settlement would not be huge since the other motorist was essentially uninsured. Yet, he continued to represent me with vigor and in the end got me a settlement. Based on what I received of the settlement, I’m pretty sure Daniel did not even break even with respect to his costs.
My summary: professional, experienced, and compassionate.

I called in hoping to get some advice and instead was very rude, felt I was not good enough to speak with! I then asked if he could refer me to someone who could help, because this was his specialty and instead said «well how did you find me» I said online and he said” then thats what to do. Sorry but this a your typical douchbag lawyer!!! Only cares about him and not the customer who is in need of help, actually probably only cares about what he could get out of his client!

No bedside manner — at all. Called for a consultation and was treated like I was the assailant.
This guy must have only positive reviews from the people that had high paying settlements, as those are the only cases he takes and is apparently kind to. Don’t bother calling unless you have a serious personal injury and a lot of money for him to take.

Daniel Rose, my attorney was very professional and got me a well deserved settlement, after being hit by a car while riding my bike. I suffered several broken ribs, and was out of work for 8 weeks recovering. I’m a small business owner here in San Francisco, so I took a big hit on busness. Again he worked with me, and the insurance company, and I was compensated for my loss, along with pain and suffering. Thank you job well done

In 2014, my wife and daughter were involved in a serious motor vehicle accident. My wife sustained numerous injuries and was hospitalized for several days in intensive care. I’ve represented myself in several legal claims in the past, but this was a bit out of my league. I interviewed 5 or 6 personal injury law firms and ultimately chose Daniel H. Rose because he most aligned with the attributes I was seeking for an attorney to represent my family. He was professional, experienced, knowledgeable, compassionate and was answering the phone directly on a weekend at 8:00pm! No other attorney sounded as genuine as Daniel Rose. He is committed to his clients, willing to work hard and truly cares about his client’s well being, not just the case.
On several occasions throughout my wife and daughters case, Dan went the extra mile for us. Our case was a bit complicated as we were dealing with multiple insurance policies with policy limitations, hospital bills and expenses. Dan helped out with everything, investigated liability of the person who caused the injury, their insurance limits and every angle to maximize our claim.
Over the course of the next few months Daniel kept me updated on his case progress and made sure my expectations were in line with the many possible outcomes. He inquired on my families well being and worked hard to build the best case for us. In the end, the outcome was more than what we expected. This accomplishment could not have been achieved without Daniel’s hard work, dedication and commitment.
I always felt that I was Dan’s only client, regardless of how many clients he had and he was very responsive to all of my calls and emails. He fought for my wife and daughter as if they were his own.
Daniel Rose is honest, knowledgeable, tough, punctual and works extremely hard to take care of his clients. For these reasons I would recommend Daniel Rose to represent anyone with a personal injury claim. His firm specializes in Bicycle, motorcycle, truck, pedestrian, drunk driving, wrongful death, medical malpractice and more! If you are injured, Daniel is the best in the business.
My family will be forever grateful for everything that he has done.

This really was as good as it gets. My wife was hit by a car while on her bike. Broken rib, some shoulder/​upper back issues, soreness, and lost work for a few weeks. When we hadn’t heard from driver’s insurance company, a friend recommended Dan Rose. He totally took charge– other than sending him the various bills, we never had to do another thing. He sorted out all the things with the police and two insurance companies since driver was underinsured. Always gave us clear info on options when we got near settlement time and reached a very fair resolution in a timely manner. Knowledgeable, responsive, and always kept her interests as first priority. Would go back to Dan in a minute for any other case.

Just wanted follow-​up on this review. Dan continues to make sure all of my insurance reimbursements are being dispersed in a timely manner and if they are not he is prompt to look into without me asking.
In August of 2014 I was struck by a motorcycle from behind while cycling. At 43 years old I’d never broken a bone in my body… until then. I ended up cut, beaten, bruised and fortunately «walked» out of the hospital with some stitches and a fractured vertebrae. I’ve never had to entertain the idea of retaining an attorney, but seeing how I was in a bike line and severely injured it seemed like a logical step. I was was refereed to Dan through a friend who works with the East Bay Bike Coalition. Dan was very fast to respond to my email and immediately explained the process and his role in a manner that was very easy to understand. Throughout the process Dan was very organized, quick to respond, and made the process on my end quite easy. He was professional, kind, and supportive which went a long way for me during a very difficult time in my life. Dan went above and beyond to put me in contact with physical therapists, explored options through my insurance carrier for therapy reimbursement, and ended up closing my claim with a what I considered very fair compensation. Dan’s fees were far less than what I anticipated and I really could not have asked for a better outcome. This accident was one of the hardest things I’ve ever dealt with and having Dan on my side certainly kept a bad situation from getting worse. I would recommend Dan without reservation.

My wife was severely injured in a scooter /​car accident some time ago. After a few phone calls with the insurance company, it was clear to me that I just wasn’t going to get anywhere with them by myself.
Dan came as a recommendation from an appellate lawyer. We’ve been extremely happy with how he’s handled our case and successfully concluded it over the past few days. He was very responsive throughout the process. We’d often resolve issues at odd hours of the night and weekend, constantly making progress on what was an involved case. I read in detail all the documents that Dan sent out. They impressed me with their detail and precision.
Where Dan showed his best side was when it came to the mediation. Starting with the right initial claim amount, engaging in the gamesmanship of back and forth in the mediator’s office. He enjoys that part of it and he’s good at it. In the end, we were very satisfied with the outcome and grateful that we had made efficient use of our time (I’ve seen other cases drag on taking up a lot of extra time only to settle on the eve of trial).

I never expected to need a lawyer to help me with a faulty rental car that went out of control. Dan Rose was available immediately by phone on a Monday morning at 8am, listened closely and attentively, and gave me his thoughts on my situation. Ultimately, we decided that his services would not be necessary for me at this time. This wasn’t before he put me at ease, and guided me with my major quagmire ahead. He also assured me I could contact him if my situation changed, to bounce something off him if necessary. His demeanor and way he interacted with me was impeccable. I would put full faith in him!

I was severely injured riding my bicycle when a car carelessly making a left turn collided with me. I searched on the internet for bicycle accident attorneys in the Bay Area and asked friends and, before learning of Daniel Rose, talked with a few attorneys who appeared to be well qualified but upon meeting them discovered that they were less concerned with my well-​being than with signing me up as a client. After rejecting them, I luckily came across Daniel Rose. When I called his office I was immediately transferred to Daniel. The next day he drove 50 miles to meet with me. After the meeting I knew I had made a great choice. Daniel was always available at any time of the day for any questions or concerns I might have. His ability to understand all the pain and aggravation involved after being in an accident is priceless. Daniel works extremely hard in representing you and looking out for your best interests and well-​being. Daniel is extremely fair with his time and charges. Even after my case was settled Daniel continued to check up me and offer support. I could go on and on how highly I recommend Daniel Rose!

I was doored in July in Berkeley and needed stitches and a lot of dental work. I didn’t know anything about personal injury law, but it soon became clear that I would need help to deal with car and medical insurance companies.
Dan Rose has been extremely helpful in advocating for my interests. One of the most helpful aspects was to have someone keep me on track with the paperwork for my healthcare and health insurance. It is hard to have the motivation to take care of things when you’re injured. I’m sure he was trying harder than I was to get a fair deal for myself.
He was also extremely generous with his time. He finished my case in just under 2 months so I can move on with my life. I felt that his expertise on bicycle cases and bicycle law to be very valuable. He is a clear communicator who has a lot of integrity. I definitely recommend Dan.

I called Daniel after having sustained injuries when an automobile driver forced me off the road; I was in great pain and my bike was badly damaged. I called him on a Sunday morning expecting that I would leave a message and perhaps hear back later that week. This was my first pleasant surprise with Daniel: he answered his phone, on a Sunday morning.
We spoke that morning and several times subsequently over the following weeks. He was smart and kind with his advice and helped me navigate things with which i was not even remotely familiar. He was always quick to respond to my questions and served me greatly as a resource.
As a cyclist himself he understood what it’s like to be on the road with cars and is well aware of the inherently vulnerable position we occupy in a multi-​modal transportation system. This makes him a particularly valuable bicycle accident lawyer.
I read the reviews here on Unilocal before consulting Daniel and am aligned with all of the people here and their five-​stars posts.
Not only would I not hesitate to recommend his services, but I aver that he impressed me entirely as a lawyer because he is an eminently good person.

I was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident which resulted in a lot of fractures and new metal for my bones. While at Rehab in the hospital I started searching for a motorcycle accident lawyer and came across a few of them. I contacted a few of them and wasn’t really impressed until I talked to Dan.
During our initial talk, He was upfront with everything and explained a lot about how he handles his cases and the different methods he uses to resolve them. My first impression of Dan was that he is a very friendly, warm hearted, encouraging, person that is really out to help people and not do it for the money. He was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had at any time of day. He was great at explaining the different options and expectations regarding my case. He resolved my case in a few months instead of letting it drag on for years.
I am glad I had the opportunity to use his services and will recommend him to any one that is in need of legal services.

I can’t say enough about Dan. When I was knocked off my bike by a car while crossing a four way stop last year, I was left feeling utterly helpless and didn’t know how to go about pursuing a claim with the driver’s insurance. I was bedridden for over a month with an unstable right ankle fracture that required surgical repair. I was worried about surgical bills, rehab, and months of taking leave without pay from my job that requires me to be on my feet. Dan helped me get organized, and clearly explained the documentation that I would need to present to the insurance company. One of the most important things he suggested was keeping a journal, which I hadn’t even considered. But, the journal was essential to help me tie together thoughts and events during the time I was unable to think clearly while taking narcotics for pain. Dan provided the strength of voice for my situation during my time of helplessness and distress. With his representation I was lucky enough to reach a settlement above and beyond my expectations within less than 6 months! Everything Julie R. posted about Dan is on-​target. Dan is not only an experienced professional, but also provides a caring and empathetic ear.

Last year my sister was nearly killed while walking through a crosswalk in the city on her way to work. While in the intensive care unit and waiting for her to get better my brothers and I got to work on finding her representation to best protect her from the tidal wave of medical bills and costs to follow.
We were referred to Dan via word of mouth. We spent a while checking around the Internet and soon knew we had found the right person. In the following weeks my sister chose to represent her and we never looked back.
Dan was more than fantastic and more then we could have expected from an attorney. I am still shocked at how quickly he responds to questions and emails even while on vacation. Dan is an EXPERT in personal injury and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to gathering data about the case.
Dan treated us like were were his own family member he was representing. I HIGHLY recommend Dan!!!

I am a cyclist that was hit by a car and rushed to trauma. The day’s to follow were not only painful in my recovery but the stress of how to deal with a situation like this was overwhelming. I have never been in an accident before and hadn’t a clue where to start. I logged on to the San Francisco Bicycle Collation website and found Mr. Rose’s contact info there. I called him up out of the blue and told him my story. He sat on the phone with me for almost an hour with a tender ear and generous advice. So much anxiety had build up between the lack of information from the police, the bills piling up and far more questions than answers. Mr. Rose stayed on the phone with me and hand held me through every question and concern I was having. I can not tell you how grateful I was this day!
I received free guidance and relieve from Mr. Rose at a time that I needed it most. He was knowledgeable, compassionate and fast. I would recommend this lawyer to anyone who is looking for a professional guide to getting your life back after the chaos of an accident.

Last April I was hit while riding my bike to work. I’m not «the litigious sort» at all, and would have been perfectly happy dealing with someone reasonable at the insurance company of the guy who hit me. (100% his fault, btw.) But when the insurance company people were a-​holes straight out of the gate, my dad advised me to seek legal representation. I met with one other attorney, but then heard about Dan from a coworker. This coworker was represented by Dan, had a great experience, and when I spoke with Dan by phone about my case, it was clear that he was my ticket to sanity.
Dan & I partnered together on collecting evidence (heaps of out of pocket expenses by me), building my case (the insurance company wasn’t so interested in paying up), talking through his strategy, and then landing a settlement which was beyond what both he & I expected. Ok, actually Dan did the lion’s share of the work, and a combination of his killer experience & charm made my world so much easier.
Dan is reasonable, encouraging, responsive, friendly, empathetic, respectful, and really freaking good at what he does. I hope to god I never have to use Dan’s services again, so in the meantime I will recommend Dan without reservation. And of course keep his number & email programmed into my phone.
