It is impossible to predict when a car accident is going to happen. One minute you are driving down the 405 or cruising along the ocean on the Pacific Coast Highway, the next minute, your vehicle is folded like an accordion, your horn is blaring, and you are dazed and not sure what just happened. Your life can change that quickly.
A car accident is “an unexpected, usually sudden event that occurs without intent or volition, although sometimes through carelessness, unawareness, ignorance, or a combination of causes and that produces an unfortunate result (as an injury) for which the affected party may be entitled to relief under the law or to compensation.”
A car accident can involve any passenger vehicle, including a van, SUV, convertible, or sports car. In terms of the law, the common denominator is whether the person harmed deserves compensation for their medical expenses, time off work, and emotional upheaval.
In order to recover compensation, it is vital to prove that the other driver was negligent or at fault for the accident. Negligence can be established by showing that the other driver breached their duty of care to operate their vehicle safely and that this breach caused the accident and resulting injuries. Getting that compensation is what Attorney Joshua can do.
Car accidents can be stressful and overwhelming, but seeking legal assistance can help alleviate some of the burdens.
