Types of Auto Accidents We Handle

Over the two decades we have been in practice, we have successfully handled many types of auto accidents. Here are some of the most common types we see in Fresno, California.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are among the deadly forms of auto crashes mainly due to the uniquely huge size and weight of commercial vehicles. A collision with an 18-wheeler or semi-truck is likely to cause catastrophic injuries or fatalities. These cases also can involve several parties, including drivers, parts or vehicle manufacturers, and trucking companies. Our legal team has the experience to investigate your truck accident case to identify the circumstances leading to the crash and hold the negligent parties accountable.

Ridesharing Accidents

With the increased reliance on ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft, accidents involving these vehicles have become more common. One of the challenging aspects of rideshare accidents is determining liability, which depends on factors such as:

  • Whether the driver was transporting a passenger
  • Whether they were on the way to pick up a ride request
  • Whether they were using the vehicle for personal reasons

Our attorneys know the ins and outs of rideshare accident claims in California and can help determine which insurance coverage applies to your case. Make sure to involve us early on so we can begin building your case immediately.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique risks while on the road. While other road users benefit from protective barriers and safety features in their vehicles, motorcyclists don’t have access to the same level of protection. In fact, the rate of motorcycle-related fatalities in a recent year was nearly 24 times higher than the fatality rate for car occupants.

Even a minor collision may lead to life-changing or deadly injuries to motorcyclists. Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Reckless driving
  • Road conditions
  • Weather conditions
  • Poor visibility
  • Distracted driving
  • Impaired driving

Your lawyer will fiercely fight for your rights to ensure full compensation for your damages.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. When motorists hit pedestrians, they may sustain life-threatening injuries. In California, pedestrians retain the right of way to walk in crosswalks, marked or unmarked.

Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents often occur due to:

Injuries from Auto Accidents

Auto accidents are the cause of different types of injuries, from minor bruises to life-altering disabilities. However, the severity of injuries may differ depending on the unique factors surrounding the crash. Some of the most common injuries from auto accidents include:

  • Whiplash and neck injuries – The impact of sudden force from a crash may strain the muscles and ligaments in the neck, which may lead to limited mobility.
  • Broken bones – During high-impact crashes, fractures are common injuries. Victims may suffer broken ribs, arms, legs, or facial bones.
  • Head and brain injuries – Trauma during motor vehicle crashes is the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries and concussions. Even a sharp jolt can cause serious brain injury.
  • Spinal cord injuries – Sometimes, if the spinal cord sustains damage, the accident victim can suffer paralysis, which can impair their ability to work and perform basic daily activities.
  • Internal injuries – Some auto accidents involve blunt force, and the trauma may cause internal bleeding, organ damage, and other life-threatening complications. Victims often require emergency surgeries.

One of the key roles of your attorney is to evaluate the nature of injuries you sustained and the effects on your life. For example, if a crash leads to broken bones requiring surgery and months off work, our legal team will investigate the full cost of the injury. This ensures we value your claim properly to reflect your level of suffering.

The nature and extent of injuries you sustained also determine the medical treatment you will have to undergo, as well as your ability to earn an income. We help victims of car accidents in Fresno to seek recovery based on the true impact of their injuries.
