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 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 auto accident attorneys 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.

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 a lawyer 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 Truck Accident Lawyers
Some of the most devastating of all types of accidents occur when a tractor trailer, 18-wheeler, or semi truck is involved. Most of these truck accidents result in victims being killed or severely injured—sometimes with injuries to the spinal cord. Truck accidents, sadly, are increasingly common on roads and highways today. Commercial trucks are involved in over 400,000 accidents per year resulting in hundreds of thousands of injuries and over 4,000 deaths.

When a large truck is involved in an accident, the corporation that owns and operates the truck and their insurance company will immediately start an investigation of the truck accident. The law in California only requires companies to carry truck liability insurance coverage of $750,000 for a truck weighing more than 10,000 pounds. These insurance limits may not be sufficient to compensate you if you are seriously injured in a truck accident. To get the money you need and deserve, you should contact an experienced truck accident lawyer.

Truck accidents have their own unique issues and problems ranging from Federal Regulations for the driver such as scheduling or driving times, commercial versus independent contractor, to even how the truck was loaded. Other issues may include inspections, maintenance, and the weather.
