If you’re able to walk, you’ve slipped and fallen at some point in your lives. Many of us grew up with permanently skinned knees and remember a time when falling was part of daily life. For this reason, it’s easy to think that slip and fall accidents are “no big deal” and that they rarely, if ever, result in serious injuries. The unfortunate reality is that they DO result in severe injuries regularly, sometimes leaving
When someone suffers injuries in an accident or incident caused by another person, the law gives them the right to file a personal injury claim for their damages. If a victim’s injuries are fatal, however, the victim no longer has the opportunity to file a lawsuit. In this situation, California law gives surviving family members the right to file a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death claims can arise from accidents caused by another person’s negligence
Distracted driving has become a serious public health issue. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 391,000 people were injured in accidents involving distracted drivers in 2015 alone. Distracted driving can include any activity that takes a person’s attention away from the road ahead. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies three types of distracted driving: Manual Distractions – Manual distractions occur when a driver takes his or
Catastrophic injuries are injuries that result in serious, long-term effects for victims that result in some sort of functional disability. They often are the result of serious accidents like motor vehicle accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and industrial accidents, but can also occur in surprisingly minor accidents like slip and falls. Because catastrophic injuries by definition result in long-term issues, victims often incur injury-related losses for the rest of their lives. For this reason, it’s
Motorcycle accidents are capable of causing extremely serious injuries, and the motorcyclists involved are usually the people who walk away hurt. Because motorcyclists are fully exposed the elements around them, they often are severely injured, and it’s not uncommon for motorcyclists to sustain traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in collisions – even when they are wearing helmets. Fortunately, in many instances, injured motorcyclists are entitled to compensation under California law. Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries Often Leave
If another driver causes your car accident and the driver has auto insurance, you may assume that you simply need to file a claim with that insurer and receive a check for your property damage, medical bills, and other losses. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case, as insurance companies can make it difficult to receive even close to the payment you deserve. The reality is that insurance companies are businesses that want to reduce their
We’ve all slipped and fallen at some point in our lives, and kids lose their balance and fall on a regular basis. Often, we can get back up and keep walking with only a little embarrassment affecting the rest of the day. Not everyone is so lucky, however, as slip and fall accidents regularly cause injuries – and sometimes, surprisingly serious ones. Some slip and fall victims cannot walk away and instead, require extensive medical
Thousands of people throughout Orange County ride bicycles on a daily basis, and Southern California’s famously warm climate allows people to ride all year long. While bicycling is an undeniably healthy and eco-friendly way to get around, it also exposes riders to a risk of extremely serious injuries. When bicyclists collide with cars and trucks, it’s rarely the motorist who leaves the scene of the accident hurt. Some of the injuries that bicyclists can sustain
Just about everyone loves the holidays, and with good reason: there are so many opportunities to get together and celebrate with friends and family. From Thanksgiving to New Years, our evenings and weekends are punctuated by parties, dinners, and concerts. In addition to all of the delicious food, alcohol will be served at most of those events. As a result, we see an unfortunate spike in accidents and fatalities in December. The Department of Transportation
