Qué sucede si un Conductor Ofrece Pagarle Después de un Accidente

Algunos conductores tienen mucho miedo de las consecuencias de un accidente automovilístico. Su seguro podría aumentar, e incluso podrían ser personalmente responsables de sus daños. Algunos pueden ofrecer pagarle dinero en la escena de un accidente automovilístico. Nunca lo acepte de ellos porque podría evitar que pueda recibir una compensación legal completa por sus lesiones. Si toma efectivo en la escena de un accidente, estaría renunciando a obtener la información del seguro del otro conductor y a informar el accidente a su propia compañía de seguros. Incluso si un accidente parece menor en la escena, no sabrá el alcance total de sus daños hasta los días posteriores al accidente. Por ejemplo, ● Podría enterarse en los días y semanas posteriores a un accidente que sufrió un latigazo cervical ● Los…

Conducir Imprudentemente está causando más Muertes de Peatones

Auto Accident

Los expertos predijeron inicialmente que la pandemia de COVID-19 al menos reduciría algunas de las tasas crecientes de accidentes graves de vehículos de motor y peatones. Desafortunadamente, sucedió exactamente lo contrario. Las muertes por accidentes en realidad han aumentado desde principios de 2020, alcanzando un máximo de 30 años. La razón principal es que la gente ha estado conduciendo mucho más imprudentemente que en el pasado. Menos autos en la carretera en realidad dieron a los automovilistas el espacio y la capacidad para conducir de manera imprudente. Las muertes de peatones ya han aumentado más del 46% en la última década. Ahora, el problema está empeorando por una serie de razones, la más reciente de ellas es una mayor capacidad para acelerar. Por qué las Muertes de Peatones Están Aumentando…

Figuring Out Medical Costs from Car Accident Injuries

Auto Accident

When you have been injured in a car accident, you are entitled to the full economic costs of your damages. One of the major parts of your economic damages is medical bills.

Dangers for Cyclists in Beverly Hills

Bicycle Accident

One bicycle advocacy outlet calls Beverly Hills “the most dangerous little city in California,” and for a good reason. While you have every legal right to be on the streets on your bicycle, you are taking your life into your hands when you do so. Beverly Hills intersections are routinely found to be among the most dangerous in the state in terms of accidents. North Santa Monica Boulevard at Wilshire is known as a particularly dangerous intersection. This intersection was built to move as many cars through it as possible, with zero focus on the safety needs of cyclists. In fact, this is a common theme in Beverly Hills, which was designed with the car in mind. In other words, it has next to no infrastructure for cyclists to keep…

Pedestrian Accidents at Night

Personal Injury

Pedestrian fatalities have increased dramatically over the past decade, and the problem is only getting worse. The biggest risk to pedestrians is when they venture out at night. The problem is even worse in an urban area. The Los Angeles area is the unfortunate perfect storm for pedestrian accidents, especially at night. Los Angelinos like to take advantage of the nightlife options in the area, and they are on the streets after dark. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. So long as they are crossing at intersections and crosswalks, the duty falls on the driver to be careful and avoid hitting them. Drivers Pay Even Less Attention at Night The issue is that drivers do not exercise the proper care. They are even less responsible at night when there…

What if a Driver Offers to Pay You After an Accident?

Auto Accident

Some drivers are very afraid of the consequences of a car accident. Their insurance could go up, and they could even be personally liable for your damages. Some may offer to pay you money at the scene of a car accident. Do not ever accept it from them because it could keep you from being able to receive full legal compensation for your injuries. If you take cash at the scene of an accident, you would be forgoing getting the other driver’s insurance information and reporting the accident to your own insurance company. Even if an accident seems minor at the scene, you do not know the full extent of your damages until the days after an accident. For example, You could learn in the days and weeks after an…

Reckless Driving Is Causing More Pedestrian Deaths

Auto Accident

Experts initially predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic would at least cut some of the escalating rates of serious motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents. Unfortunately, the exact opposite happened. Accident fatalities have actually increased since the beginning of 2020, reaching a 30-year high. The main reason is that people have been driving far more recklessly than they did in the past. Fewer cars on the road actually gave motorists the space and ability to drive recklessly. Pedestrian deaths are already up over 46% in the last decade. Now, the issue is getting worse for a number of reasons, the most recent of them being an increased ability to speed. Why Pedestrian Deaths Are Increasing Other factors that have been cited for the recent uptick in pedestrian deaths are: Drivers’ increased anxiety…

Evidence in a Truck Accident Case

Truck Accident

Any motor vehicle accident case will turn on the evidence that you have. Truck accident cases have far more sources of evidence that you can use to prove your case. However, you must act quickly to obtain this evidence before it is lost or made to disappear by the trucking company. Like any motor vehicle case, you can benefit from physical evidence that could establish who was to blame for the crash. The best thing is when you have witnesses who saw the accident. Then, pictures of the accident scene and video footage may also prove your case. Sources of Evidence that Help Your Case There are additional helpful sources of evidence in a truck accident case, including: Black box data that could show key facts about how the truck…
