Auto Accidents
Right after you hear the screeching tires and feel the force of the impact of another car hitting yours, you should always remember to do the following:
Call 911: After a car accident, you should always call the police, even if the other party insists that it is not necessary to do so.
Ask for Medical Help: Always, err on the side of caution. Even if you are not sure about the extent of your injuries, always ask to be checked out by the paramedics or your doctor. Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, or any other type of motor vehicle accidents usually result in soft tissue injuries that may not be apparent right away.
Try to Remain Calm and Alert: Try to collect as much information as possible. You should write down names, phone numbers and addresses of all witnesses. Taking pictures of the scene of the accident, vehicles involved in the accident and obtaining any helpful information is also a good idea.
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney: Call an experienced personal injury lawyer in your area for a free consultation right after being involved in any type of accident such as car accident, motorcycle accident, pedestrian accident, trucking accident, bus accident in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Encino, San Bernardino, Glendale, Orange, Colton, Covina, Rialto, Hawthorne, Lawndale, Downey or any other area in Southern California.
Auto Accidents, Injury Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents
Carelessness is often the cause of many Los Angeles car accidents. Distractions in the car, such as the radio, pets, children, and most commonly cell phones are cited as the cause of many injury accidents in California. In Los Angeles, drivers spend hours in their cars, commuting to and from work; spending lots of time on their cell phones.
According to a study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NTSB), driver distraction was documented in 80% of auto accidents and was the main cause of 25-30% of auto accidents.
Although, using handheld cell phones while driving, have been illegal in California for some time, many still engage in this distracting and dangerous activity.
If you are involved in an auto accident and suspect that the party who is at fault was using a cell phone at the time of the accident, be sure to give this information to the investigating police officers.
In the event of a serious accident, such as a car accident, trucking accident, taxi accident, or a pedestrian accident, an experienced personal injury lawyer can assist you in handling of your case. At the Law Offices of Jubin Sharifi, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for a FREE CONSULTATION.
