California Car Accident Laws: What You Need to Know

The crowded, traffic-congested streets of Los Angeles are no stranger to car accidents. Unfortunately, car accidents often happen at the most inopportune time, including during a pandemic. If you drive a vehicle in Los Angeles, it is important that you are familiar with California car accident laws so that you understand what you to expect if you’re in an accident. Understanding the basic California car accident laws may make the entire experience less stressful for you, but it is still important to seek help for a qualified attorney to protect your valuable legal rights.

‍

Basic California Car Accident Laws All Drivers Should Understand

California drivers must follow certain laws if they are involved in a car accident.

If the car accident resulted in an injury or in a death, the driver or their representative must make a police report or a report with the California Highway Patrol within 24 hours of the accident occurring. If you’re not sure which agency is responsible for investigating the crash, call the one closest to the accident scene. They can take the report and forward it to the appropriate authorities. Remember to get the report number. For many accidents, the police will be called at the time of the accident so you will not need to call them again. You should still get the accident report number.
Report the car accident to the California DMV within 10 days if anyone was injured, anyone was killed, or the accident caused property damage of more than $1,000.
Understand that California has a statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in the court system. This period is generally two years, but there are exceptions. To learn more about the statute of limitations in California car accident cases, click here.

La verdad sobre conducir y enviar mensajes de texto

Si bien los teléfonos móviles han hecho la vida más fácil, tienen un coste, es decir, conducir distraído. Conducir distraído es ahora más común que nunca. Un estudio reciente publicado por la Oficina de Seguridad Vial y la Patrulla de Caminos de California muestra un aumento del 39 por ciento en los casos de conducción mientras se envían mensajes de texto en California.

Do Summer Months Mean More Car Accidents?

For most of us, when we think of summer, we think of sunshine and swimming pools, longer days and warmer nights. Unfortunately, along with BBQs and beach days, the summer months also bring with an increase in the number of car accidents on our local roads and highways. In fact, August and September are typically…

Los Angeles Car Accidents and Insurance Companies

A Los Angeles car accident can be a scary event. Even if you don’t think that anyone is physically hurt, there’s the emotional trauma and property damage. Additionally, injuries often aren’t felt for several hours after a car accident or other traumatic event because of the body’s natural response of releasing adrenalin.

Nos enfrentamos a las compañías de seguros codiciosas

Obtenga más compensación por su lesión por resbalón y caída con representación legal experta

Con más de 40 años de experiencia, hemos manejado muchos casos de resbalones y caídas. Puedo brindarle el calibre de servicios legales que normalmente solo están disponibles para grandes empresas, debido a mi experiencia en litigios a gran escala que han resultado en indemnizaciones de millones de dólares en muchas ocasiones. En 2014, Michael Ghozland fue nombrado "Luchador callejero del año" por los abogados del consumidor de California en 2014. Debido a mi excelente historial judicial, ganar su caso probablemente signifique obtener un acuerdo privado, sin necesidad de acudir a un tribunal. Las compañías de seguros conocen mi reputación y la mayoría preferiría llegar a un acuerdo antes que enfrentarme en una demanda por resbalón y caída.

“Nuestra misión es brindar a nuestros clientes el tipo de representación legal que normalmente se brinda a grandes clientes corporativos e institucionales. El Sr. Ghozland reconoce que usted merece el mejor abogado laboral y de lesiones personales de Los Ángeles”.
