According to the California Highway Patrol’s 2015 Report of Fatal and Injury Motor Vehicle Traffic Collisions, we see an unfortunate set of figures from across our state. During the year 2015, there were 254,561 people injured and 3,435 killed on our roadways. Although many accidents are unavoidable, we see a disturbing number of accidents that occur each day due to the reckless and negligent behavior of another driver.

You Have Legal Rights

If you are suffering injuries or the loss of a loved one due to this negligence, you have legal rights to compensation. Having a skilled lawyer on your side can make a huge difference in the financial compensation you are awarded after an accident. As experienced Yorba Linda, Carlsbad, Monterey Park, and Moreno Valley motor vehicle accident attorneys, we diligently fight for the rights of injury victims and their families.

On our California roadways, we see how accidents will happen anywhere, at any time. It only takes one act of negligence to turn a simple commute into a horrible tragedy. We have seen it all before and have handled every type of accident that these acts of negligence cause:

• Rear-end collisions regularly leave victims with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and soft tissue injuries. These are frequently due to our ever-increasing problem of distracted driving and are typical on our highways, roads, and intersections.
• Intersection accidents have become commonplace when drivers see an upcoming yellow light and race to beat it, often resulting in a serious accident. Intersection accidents also occur with running stop signs and a general failure to be diligent when approaching an intersection.
• Head-on collisions will occur from opposite directions and typically occur when one of the drivers is impaired or distracted. One of the most dangerous collisions on our roads today, a head-on collision can result in life-altering injuries and wrongful deaths.
• Multiple vehicle collisions happen daily on our busy highways and roadways and present a particularly challenging set of circumstances for an injury victim to get fair compensation from insurance companies.

These are only a few types of motor vehicle accidents that we have represented over the years. After a serious accident, we see the victim feeling overwhelmed, distraught, and further victimized by an insurance industry bent on not offering fair settlements because it eats into their profits. Many of the top insurance companies today have been charged with “bad faith” or unfair insurance practices. Most motor vehicle accident victims want to trust that the insurance company will fairly compensate them for injuries, but the sad reality is that it often is not the case.
