CAR ACCIDENTS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY

In a densely trafficked region such as Los Angeles County, California as well as across the state, motor vehicle accidents occur all too often. According to the California Highway Patrol in its latest published report, 3,737 people died in traffic fatalities in 2019 while 269,031 were injured. 

These car accidents are caused in many ways, such as:

  • Distracted Driving – Operating a car while focused on anything other than driving is one of the most common causes of car accidents in Encino. This can include talking or texting on a phone, eating or drinking, playing with the radio, or engaging in distracting conversations with passengers.
  • Impaired Driving – Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can impair a driver’s judgment and reaction time leading to serious car crashes.
  • Speeding – Exceeding the posted speed limit is not only dangerous but illegal. Even if you are within the speed limit, certain circumstances may require you to drive your car slowly for safety reasons.
  • Other traffic violations – whether tailgating, running red lights, rolling through stop signs, failing to yield, or other violations of traffic law, any failure to drive safely and according to the rules puts others at risk for injuries.
  • Inattention -- The simple act of failing to drive defensively and with full attention can result in accidents. Daydreaming and getting lost in your own thoughts may seem harmless and not illegal; however, a split second of inattention while driving can cause harm to others as well as oneself. 

Traffic car accidents can result in many kinds of injuries, from whiplash to multiple broken bones, torn ligaments, serious sprains, concussions, internal injuries, loss of limbs, severe burns, and devastating and often fatal injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and more.

WHEN SHOULD YOU HIRE A CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER?

When you're involved in a car accident, you may find yourself wondering whether or not you should hire a car accident lawyer. While not every accident requires legal representation, there are specific situations where hiring an attorney is not only advisable but also essential to protect your rights and interests.

  • Severe Injuries: If you have sustained significant injuries in a car accident, such as broken bones, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, or injuries that require surgery, it's crucial to consult with an attorney. Severe injuries often result in substantial medical expenses, long-term care, and potential lost income, and a lawyer can help you pursue a claim to cover these costs.
  • Disputed Liability: When the determination of fault in an accident is not clear-cut, you may encounter difficulty in proving the other party's negligence. Insurance companies may attempt to shift the blame onto you, potentially reducing your settlement. In such cases, a skilled car accident lawyer can investigate the accident, gather evidence, and advocate on your behalf to establish liability.
  • Insurance Company Disputes: Dealing with insurance companies can be a daunting task, as their primary goal is often to minimize payouts. If you encounter resistance or delays in the processing of your claim, an attorney can negotiate with the insurance company to ensure you receive a fair settlement.
  • Complex Legal Procedures: Car accident cases often involve complex legal procedures, deadlines, and paperwork. Filing a lawsuit or pursuing a personal injury claim can be overwhelming, particularly if you are recovering from injuries. A car accident lawyer can guide you through the legal process, ensuring you meet all necessary requirements and deadlines.
  • Uninsured or Underinsured Motorists: When the at-fault driver lacks insurance or carries inadequate coverage, recovering compensation can be a challenge. In such situations, your own insurance policy's uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may come into play, and a car accident lawyer can help you navigate these complex claims.
  • Multiple Parties Involved: If multiple parties are involved in the accident, such as other drivers or even government entities responsible for road maintenance, determining liability and pursuing claims can become convoluted. A lawyer can help you identify all responsible parties and seek compensation from each as necessary.
