Car Accident Lawyers
Being involved in an auto accident is one of the most traumatizing experiences you can have. There are many variables that can lead to mild or extreme levels of fear, anxiety, and even post-traumatic stress. Sadly, car crashes can occur in a number of places. Los Angeles neighborhood streets, highways, parking lots, back roads, and even parking garages are all hot spots for car crashes.
The events leading up to the accident, the impact of the collision, the immediate reaction after the collision, property damages, and lasting injuries can collectively take a toll on everyone involved. Common feelings include shock, worry, anxiety, or other some sort of uneasiness. After processing through the shock, you may feel increasingly burdened with how to best navigate through this difficult time.
Be assured that you do not have to go through this alone. If you or a loved one has been involved in a Los Angeles car accident, contact our personal injury attorneys today. Our team will help you get compensated and medical assistance you need.

Car Accidents and your insurance Company
I have insurance. Shouldn’t my policy cover me?
It is important to contact your auto insurance company to review the terms of your insurance policy to confirm the coverage limits.
Most drivers make the mistake of naively believing that their insurance company will take care of them in the event they are involved in a car accident.
Unfortunately, a major goal of most car insurance companies is to pay as little as possible. Throughout the claims process, the insurance company will try to negate liability and find loopholes to avoid paying their insured party substantial compensation.

Car Accidents and the law
Is it necessary to call the police?
When the Los Angeles Police or proper authorities are dispatched to the Car Accident, the responding police officer will create a report which details necessary information and details regarding the accident. Such information includes how the accident happened, license plate information, driver information (including name, address, and phone numbers), passenger information, and a determination of fault. This report helps establish liability not only for the insurance companies of the insured parties, but also helps your legal case.

Most Common Types of Car Accidents
Why do Car Accidents happen?
Generally, a distracted or otherwise debilitated driver causes car accidents. The underlying reason of the distraction or debilitation could be a number of variables, including influence of alcohol or illegal substances, engaged in text messaging, mobile phone conversation, social media, or other mobile phone program, eating, applying makeup, speeding, emotional instability, loud radio or music system, or vehicle conversation.
Rideshare Accidents
In California, and especially Los Angeles, Rideshare companies such as Lyft and Uber are becoming increasingly popular. Unfortunately, this increases the risk of auto accidents.
Wrongful Death
Immature death due to a car accident is absolutely heartbreaking for the loved ones of the deceased. The deceased loved ones are owed compensation for their unfair loss. Simply filing an insurance claim is not enough to guarantee the deceased loved ones are going to prevail.
Hit and Run Accidents
Hit and run accidents may cause particular trouble for insurance companies, because there is not an opposing insurance company to place liability on. Thus, the innocent insured is likely going to be stuck paying the price for property damage to their vehicle.
Pedestrian Accident
Unfortunately, not all Los Angeles drivers adhere to the general rule of thumb that “all pedestrians have the right-of-way.” In other cases, the driver may be distracted by external sources (emotional, radio, technology, etc.) and unfortunately not be able to stop in time to avoid collision.
Catastrophic Injuries
Medical assistance and the thought of medical bill accumulation is perhaps the most concerning thought loved ones have when their loved one gets a catastrophic injury resulting from a car accident. Depending on the extent of the injury, the injured person may need indefinite physical therapy, or rehabilitation therapy, or may even be bed-ridden or restricted to wheelchair use. Catastrophic injuries resulting from a traffic accident deserve special attention that insurance companies cannot always provide.
