Automobile Accidents

Catastrophic injuries, permanent disability or disfigurement, brain damage, spinal cord and death are often caused by various types of automobile accidents involving cars, trucks, buses, ATVs, motorcycles, bicycles, recreational and off-road vehicles, and pedestrians. These injuries generally result in devastating financial losses to the persons involved. For this reason, it is important to consult an experienced California automobile accident attorney immediately after you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an automobile accident.

The law provides you with the right to recover damages from the party responsible for your injuries. Damages you may be able to recover include, but may not be limited to:

• medical expenses,
• lost wages,
• funeral expenses,
• property damage, and
• other economic losses.

You may also be entitled to recover money for the pain and suffering arising from your injuries. If your spouse was injured or killed in an accident, you may also be entitled to recover money for emotional distress or the loss of support, comfort, consortium, or services of your spouse.

In Southern California, owners and drivers of automobiles are required to maintain liability insurance coverage on their cars in the event of a vehicular accident. Sadly, these insurance limits are often insufficient to compensate a person injured in a vehicular accident. Experienced Southern California auto accident lawyers can help you get the money you need by investigating the party responsible for your injury to learn if they have additional insurance coverage through an employer, rental car company, or from an "umbrella" or excess policy.

Forty percent of the roughly 42,000 annual U.S. traffic fatalities involve alcohol. If you have been injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to seek punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. Our auto accidents attorneys in Southern California are experienced and prepared to aggressively fight for your best interests, no matter what the circumstances.

SUV rollovers are becoming more and more frequent in traffic accidents. These types of accidents can be very devastating and lead to serious injuries. In order to determine the specifics of your case you should contact an attorney. If you are involved in a SUV rollover our Southern California auto accident lawyers can help you make the best decision about how to proceed with your case.

It is best to retain an attorney who regularly handles vehicular accident injury claims and is prepared to file a lawsuit on your behalf if the insurance company is not willing to settle your claim for a fair value. Our attorneys are experienced and can handle a variety of personal injury claims arising from automobile accidents in Orange County.

Southern California
Bicycle Accident Lawyers

Bicycle accidents resulting in wrongful death account for approximately three percent of all traffic fatalities. Over 50,000 riders have been killed in bicycle accidents in the United States over the last 75 years. Despite the advances in safety equipment, cases involving catastrophic injuries to cyclists continue to be a problem.

Bicycle accidents sometimes occur because of defective equipment or roadways, but more often occur because drivers of motor vehicles are not paying attention to the cyclists sharing the road. Drivers often ignore the bicyclist’s right of way or unlawfully enter a protected bicycle lane. Even when cyclists are extremely careful, bicycle accidents still occur—often ending catastrophically.

Special investigation considerations must be taken if the accident occurred at night or if there were no witnesses. Prejudices often exist with police officers and the motor vehicle driving public against cyclists. To deal with these prejudices and special investigations it is important to contact an auto accident lawyer in California who has extensive experience dealing with bicycle equipment, experts and bicycle accident litigation. Our Orange County accident lawyers have many years of experience handling all types of motor vehicle accidents, including those that involve bicycles, and are prepared to help you fight for the maximum compensation you are entitled to under the law.

Southern California
Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Whether they’re trying to go green or just lead a more active lifestyle, an increasing number of Americans are trading their cars for street shoes and taking to the streets—on foot. While we all do our best to be safe while we’re out and about, sometimes our best efforts are not enough.

Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere, whether you’re jogging, window shopping or picking your child up from the bus stop. And most of the time, pedestrian accidents are the fault of negligent or reckless automobile drivers.

Since the human body is not designed to sustain the impact from being struck by a moving vehicle, pedestrian accidents usually result in very serious injury or death. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 4,378 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents in 2008; an additional 69,000 were injured.  Common injuries reported among victims of pedestrian accidents include things like traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, broken bones and other injuries that can severely impact a person’s quality of life.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a pedestrian accident, it is imperative to contact a California automobile accident attorney with experience representing pedestrians in auto accidents as soon as possible. An attorney can explain your rights, protect your interests, seek justice on your behalf and fight for the compensation you need and deserve after being seriously injured in a pedestrian accident.
