The Risks of Tailgating

Auto Accident
In the Beverly Hills and L.A. areas, our freeway traffic and road rage are world-famous. As Beverly Hills car accident lawyers, we have seen firsthand how tailgating and other aggressive driving tactics can cause severe injuries to others.

This is called a “Two Second Following Distance.” When you are coming to a stop, leave one full car length between you and the car in front of you.

Who Was Responsible for Your Motorcycle Accident?

Who Was Responsible for Your Motorcycle Accident?

Auto Accident
Everywhere in Southern California, you can see people zipping around on their motorcycles and other two-wheeled motor vehicles. While this can be an adrenaline rush and a great way to enjoy the climate and views, other drivers regularly crash into motorcyclists and cause them serious injuries. It is key to identify who can be held responsible for your crash, as this party should also be responsible for all of your injury-related losses. Consider All Related Parties In a motorcycle crash, there can be more than one at-fault party. You may just be thinking this is about you and the other driver, however, in a personal injury case from a motorcycle crash, these parties may also be partially or wholly responsible: The last mechanic who worked on your bike (and/or the…

Should You Accept A Car Accident Insurance Offer?

Should You Accept A Car Accident Insurance Offer?

Auto Accident
If you are involved in a car accident that is not your fault, it is often a complex decision whether or not to settle with the other driver’s insurance company or take the other driver to court. Whether or not you should accept a settlement offer from the other driver’s insurance company depends on a variety of factors. Foremost, you should have the advice of a lawyer before you even consider entertaining a settlement offer from an insurance company. Too many unrepresented accident victims accept inadequate settlements because they did not have a lawyer review the offer. It is good to expect that the first offer made will almost always be a lowball offer and will not properly compensate you for your injuries and losses suffered by the accident. Always…

Steps To Hold Drunk Drivers Liable for your Injuries

Steps To Hold Drunk Drivers Liable for your Injuries

Auto Accident
Drunk driving is a serious problem in California, claiming more than 3,000 lives last year in the state alone. If you are involved in a drunk driving accident and you are injured, there are certain steps you should take to ensure that the drunk driver is held liable for your injuries.  First off, if you notice the other driver who caused the accident is intoxicated, you should immediately notify the authorities when you call to report the accident. Never confront the driver on your own, as they might get agitated. You should be sure to take a picture, if possible, of their license plate and vehicle, as soon as you can after the crash. That way, if they flee the scene (as many drunk drivers try to do), you can…
