    Freeway Car Accidents in Los Angeles

    Driving the freeway is an inherent part of  Los Angeles culture. It is an experience that can be devastating if you get into a crash.

    Freeway car accidents in Los Angeles happen many times a day, every day. If you were hurt in a freeway wreck, contact our car crash attorneys for help pursuing compensation. Our law firm provides aggressive and effective representation to people hurt in car accidents.

    Causes of Freeway Crashes

    High traffic density contributes to the frequency of freeway crashes in the city. It can be impossible to maintain safe spacing between vehicles, and larger vehicles may obstruct the sight lines of smaller cars. A complicated system of interchanges can contribute to accidents.

    Driver negligence is also a factor in almost every car accident. Drivers who are inattentive, speeding, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs cause crashes. Road rage may trigger dangerous conduct leading to accidents.

    Our Los Angeles attorneys will review police reports, examine a vehicle’s electronic data, review freeway surveillance camera footage when available, and search for other evidence demonstrating an accident’s cause.  When another party’s negligence contributed to a crash, they can file a claim on behalf of an injured person seeking compensation.

    Obtaining Fair Compensation for a Freeway Accident

    Freeway accidents sometimes happen at high speeds and may involve multiple vehicles. Severe injuries are common, including injuries that leave a survivor permanently disabled. Obtaining reasonable compensation for such severe injuries requires a skilled and experienced legal professional.

    The insurance company for the at-fault driver must compensate an injured person‘s losses, but their liability extends only to the driver’s coverage limits. When an injured person’s losses exceed the responsible driver’s coverage limits, the injured person must pursue a lawsuit holding the driver personally liable. Many drivers do not have sufficient assets to cover a severely injured person’s losses.

    Our knowledgeable attorneys in Los Angeles could investigate whether other parties may have contributed to a freeway accident. Other drivers may have had a role in the crash, or a mechanical defect in one or more of the involved vehicles may have been a factor. Sometimes, poor highway design or maintenance leads to an accident, and in that case, the state or a local government may be liable.

    Suing When Highway Conditions Contributed to the Crash

    Governments are immune from many lawsuits, but legal claims for compensation are allowed when the negligence of a government employee or agency results in a personal injury. People injured in freeway accidents could claim compensation if they can prove that negligent design or maintenance of the road was a direct cause of their injuries.

    California Government Code § 911.2  allows lawsuits against the state or a local government for injuries suffered in a vehicle accident. However, the injured person must submit a notice of claim to the appropriate government office within six months of the crash. Engaging a Los Angeles attorney immediately ensures the paperwork will be filed on time to preserve the right to sue the government agency responsible for maintaining the freeway.

    After the agency has received the notice of claim, it has 45 days to review it and determine whether to pay. The agency can reject the claim, accept it in full, or accept it in part. When an injured person is not satisfied with the agency’s response, they can file a lawsuit in court.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Personal injury cases are some of the most common civil litigation cases—also known as “tort actions” or “lawsuits”—in the United States. They are filed by individuals who have experienced bodily injury, pain and suffering, and sometimes property damage in an accident caused by a negligent third party. These claims can also be filed for intentional harm or defamation of character by a third party.
    While you are not required to have an attorney to file a claim, having an attorney can make a significant difference in your claim. A personal injury attorney has a deep understanding of the claims process and can help you navigate the complexities of the law. Your attorney can also help you level the playing field with insurers and can tell you whether you are receiving the maximum compensation to which you are legally entitled.
    If you have been injured in an accident that was no fault of your own, there are steps you should take to ensure you are compensated for costs related to the incident. Taking quick action after your accident can profoundly affect your personal injury claim or lawsuit. After being involved in an accident, you should: Seek medical attention for your injuries, even if symptoms are not immediately apparent. Keep a record of your injuries and note any complications that arise because of your injuries. Report the incident as soon as possible after it occurs. Record detailed descriptions and notes about the facts of the incident. Keep receipts of medication and medical care you received Contact an experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can help you navigate your claim.
    Not all personal injury claims make it to court. In fact, a majority of injury cases are settled without having to litigate. What’s the difference between a settlement and going to trial? What are the pros and cons of each? There are two ways in which compensation can be awarded to you for your claim: through a settlement or by going to trial. There are pros and cons to each. When your claim is settled, the compensation for your claim is decided outside of court, usually through negotiations between lawyers.
    In California, you have two years to file a personal injury claim against an individual or non-government entity. If the injury is not immediately known, you have one year from the date the injury is discovered. If you’ve suffered injuries from an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should act quickly to ensure you are able to recover compensation for your losses.

    Notifying Insurance Companies

    You should notify your insurance company and the responsible party’s insurance company as soon as possible after your accident. Most insurance companies request that you file your claim within 24 – 48 hours after your accident. When you file a personal injury insurance claim, you are requesting that the at-fault party’s insurance pay for the losses you suffered as a result of your accident, and the compensation amount is determined during negotiations. Seeking Compensation You can get financial compensation in two ways: filing a personal injury insurance claim or filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, compensation can be sought for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those with a measurable monetary value, such as medical expenses and lost wages. On the other hand, non-economic damages refer to losses that cannot be easily quantified, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. It is important to understand the types of damages available in your case so that you can seek compensation for all of your related losses. Soon after your accident, contact a knowledgeable personal injury attorney in Los Angeles who can explain the time limits to you and help you get the compensation you deserve.
