>Experienced Riverside Auto Accident Lawyers

Southern California is a car lover’s paradise. You can access practically anywhere you want to go within Riverside and its surrounding communities by car, truck, or motorcycle. The expansive network of freeways and surface roads blanketing Southern California makes commuting to work, running errands, and traveling for pleasure a breeze… most of the time. Unfortunately, motorists, truck operators, and motorcyclists who take advantage of these travel opportunities don’t always reach their destinations safely. The sheer volume of drivers on the roads increases the likelihood that accidents will occur. When you add in the seemingly ever-present influence of the “Four Ds” (drunkenness, drowsiness, distraction, and drugs) into the mix, accidents happen on Riverside County freeways and roads with startling frequency.

If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle collision, it’s important to understand that you likely have opportunities for legal recourse at your disposal. Too often, accident victims assume that they are at-fault for their collisions, so they fail to explore their legal options with an experienced personal injury attorney. Don’t make that mistake. You deserve to know what your rights are and to have those rights protected. You deserve experienced, knowledgeable legal representation dedicated to ensuring that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible under the circumstances. You deserve to have your insurance claims fairly valued and paid in a timely manner. Our firm’s legal team prides itself on providing exactly that kind of representation. We are proud to serve the Riverside community and all those who travel through Riverside County. Please allow us the opportunity to explain how our efficient, determined, and effective approaches can serve your family’s needs in the wake of an auto accident. If you haven’t already done so, connect with our team to schedule a risk-free, confidential case evaluation at no cost to you.

Finding Legal Solutions When Injurious Auto Accidents

When accident victims fail to explore their legal options right away, they limit their ability to understand exactly what happened to them. It is rare when auto accidents unfold exactly as they seem to have at first glance. Far more often, at least one of the individuals injured in an auto accident is unaware that they’re driving a vehicle that has a defective part or they’re unaware of exactly how distracted, drowsy, or otherwise negligent the other motorists in the accident were at the time of the crash. By failing to explore your legal options, you’re not for the opportunity that the law may ultimately come down on your side. As a result, it’s important to avoid making assumptions about why the crash occurred and whose fault the collision was until you’ve spoken to our knowledgeable and experienced legal team.

It’s also important to act as quickly as you can. As soon as you left the scene of your accident, you left the opportunity to collect valuable evidence behind. That’s okay. It was necessary to leave the scene of the accident, likely so that you could seek medical attention for your injuries. However, it’s imperative that you schedule a free, risk-free consultation with our team as soon as you can so that we can preserve all the remaining evidence that will, ideally, help to strengthen your case. Additionally, it’s important to act soon or you may be barred from filing an insurance claim, a personal injury claim, and/or a workers’ compensation claim related to your accident. California Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 allows for a two-year statute of limitations when car accidents occur, which means that you have 24 months from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim against those responsible. However, other forms of recovery are far more time-sensitive. As a result, you need to act quickly to understand your options.

Representing Our Clients Is Serious Business

When you schedule a confidential, risk-free, no-cost case evaluation with our Riverside auto accident lawyer team, we’ll ask you questions about your accident so that we can provide you with an objective assessment of the relative strengths and weaknesses of your case. At that point, you’ll be empowered to make whatever informed decision makes the most sense for you and your family at this time. Your options will likely include filing a personal injury claim against those who caused you harm and allowing our firm to negotiate with insurance providers on your behalf. To that end, please avoid speaking with insurance claims adjusters (including those from any insurance agency with which you hold a policy) until you’ve spoken with us. We don’t want to give insurance claims adjusters any excuse whatsoever to pay you even one dime less than you deserve.

During your consultation, we won’t be the only ones asking questions. We encourage all of our potential clients to bring a list of their questions and concerns to the consultation setting. Our team believes that this is the best way to ensure that our potential clients get all of their concerns about their options and our approach to the attorney-client relationship addressed before they commit to any particular course of action. We believe that representing the interests of auto accident victims is serious business. When you work with our firm, your case will never be treated as “just another case.” Our dedicated and personalized approach is tailored to meet the needs of every client’s unique situation.

When you work with our auto accident attorneys, you can expect:

• Timely responses to questions, concerns, and other communications with our team
• To develop a respectful attorney-client relationship with a trustworthy and experienced lawyer
• To be kept informed about developments as your case progresses
• That you will always remain empowered to make any decisions concerning the pursuit of legal action, whether a settlement offer is acceptable, and/or to cease the pursuit of legal action
• To be informed about our billing processes upfront – our team rejects the idea that hidden fees and taking advantage of our clients is “just good business”
• An objective evaluation of your case’s relative strengths and weaknesses
• That our firm will approach your case with integrity, focus, and a commitment to advocate on your behalf to the best of our ability
• That we will prepare your case as if the trial is a real possibility so that your case is as strong as it can possibly be during the entire settlement negotiation process

Car Accidents

In addition to the roughly six million auto accidents reported by U.S. law enforcement officers every year, millions more go unreported. On an annual basis, approximately 2 million individuals in the U.S. alone suffer permanent injury as a result of a motor vehicle crash. Know that if you have been injured in a car accident, you are certainly not alone and that you have legal options available to you. Regardless of whether you were insured or uninsured at the time of the crash, licensed or unlicensed, documented or undocumented, you deserve to understand your rights at this time. All consultations are confidential, risk-free, and available at no cost to you.

Motorcycle Accidents

California is a haven for motorcycle enthusiasts. Unfortunately, too many motorcycle riders are hit every year by other motorists who don’t properly “share the road.” Others are driven off the road or incur injuries as a result of ill-maintained roads and other preventable challenges. We take great pride in representing the interests of the motorcycle riding community. Please know that in our legal team, you’ll find advocates committed to ensuring that you see justice done for the harm you’ve suffered as a result of your collision.  

Pedestrian Accidents

Traveling by foot is a healthy, free, and environmentally friendly way to get from here to there. Traveling by foot is a commendable choice. Unacceptably though, many motorists don’t take enough care to watch out for pedestrians. When a pedestrian is hit by a motor vehicle, it is rarely the pedestrian’s fault and the harm that results from the accident is usually absorbed by the pedestrian and the pedestrian alone. Chances are very high that if you have been hit by a vehicle, you are entitled to significant compensation as a result of the harm you’ve suffered. Please explore your legal options today so that we can help you access this compensation to the maximum extent possible.

Trucking Accidents

Personal injury cases involving large commercial trucks (often referred to as 18-wheelers, semis, or big rigs) tend to be fairly complex affairs. Oftentimes, the truck operator is at-fault, but oftentimes a reckless or negligent driver failing to respect a truck’s blind spots is at-fault. To add to the complexity involved in determining why trucking accidents occur, many trucking companies promote unsafe driving practices in pursuit of their bottom line. When unsafe practices lead to harm, the trucking company that employs a driver involved in an accident may be held accountable for that harm as well. It’s important not to make any assumptions about your case if you’ve been involved in a collision with a truck or while driving a truck. Let us investigate so that you can make informed decisions about your legal options.

Work-Related Motor Vehicle Accidents

If your accident occurred while you were engaged in work-related activities, you may be able to file a workers’ compensation case related to the harm you’ve suffered. If you’re not eligible to file for these benefits, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against anyone responsible for the harm you’ve suffered, including your employer. Workers’ compensation coverage limits your ability to sue your employer for work-related harm, but even if you’re eligible to file for a workers’ comp award, you may be able to file a third-party lawsuit in addition to your workers’ comp claim if anyone other than your employer contributed to your crash. We can help you clarify your options today.

Accidents Resulting in Wrongful Death

If you’ve recently lost a loved one in an auto accident, it’s important to speak with an attorney about your family’s legal options. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the crash, you may be entitled to significant compensation via insurance settlements and/or a wrongful death lawsuit. When you’re grieving, the idea of expending effort to speak with an auto accident attorney can seem like the most unappealing thing in the world. However, in the interests of seeking justice for your loved one and avoiding the financial burdens that will, over time, accompany the loss of your loved one, it is important to explore your legal options now. Please trust that we will treat both your case and your grief with the utmost care and respect.
