ARENDSEN BRADDOCK LAW | EXPERIENCE MATTERS

Car accidents can take many forms, including car on motorcyclist accidents, truck accidents, and pedestrian accidents. Because car accidents are often complicated cases due to at-fault parties or lack of insurance, it’s important to call an attorney who can walk you through your avenues of compensation. Car crashes of any kind are traumatic events, whether its’s a fender-bender or it causes ongoing injuries. We know what people are facing in the aftermath of a car crash: medical bills, car repair bills, ongoing physical therapy, and even ongoing cognitive impairment. If you have been injured in a car crash due to someone else’s negligent driving, we can help you seek justice to recoup the compensation you deserve.

In the year of 2020, car crash fatalities increased by nearly 7%, and that statistic is no outlier from San Diego and Solana Beach. In major metro areas like that of Southern California, we often see car crash cases arise from highway accidents when someone is speeding, swerving lanes, or simply tailgating at high speeds. When somebody else causes a car accident that you end up involved in, and you sustain an injury or car wreckage, you can hold them liable for their actions, especially if insurance doesn’t cover the cost.

After you’ve been hit by another driver, it’s imperative to pull over (if you can) to take stock of the damage. Once you and the other driver have pulled into a safe lane, you should call 911 to establish a police report. If your car has been hit and you are able to do so, you should take photos of the damage, ask for the driver’s insurance card and recount the entire scene to the officer on scene. Do not delete these photos until your car accident case is settled!

If you’ve been injured on the scene and cannot take any of the actions above, you must call an ambulance or get someone to drive you to the hospital right away. Insurance should cover the cost of your medical bills, but typically, insurance companies don’t want to pay out any additional expenses if they don’t have to. This means if the insurance company doesn’t see you received treatment for days or weeks after the accident, you will have a larger battle at hand.

You must provide evidence of your case whenever you go to litigation. In the occurrence of a car accident, it’s useful to keep photos, medical bills, your written statement, the negligent driver’s statement, and any other receipts related to your accident. These bills and statements are crucial to deciding who is at-fault for the accident in the instance that your case moves to court.

The most common types of car accident cases in the San Diego, Escondido and Carlsbad area are typically:

• High-speed highway accidents
• Drunk driving accidents
• Ride share or Uber/Lyft accidents
• Hit and run accidents
• Distracted driving/texting accidents
• and Dangerous intersection accidents
  
  

Because we’ve seen them all, we know how to deal with every case, and while we know that being compensated for your injuries and continued trauma won’t heal the distress, it can certainly help aid the financial burden that comes with a car accident case.
