Woodland Hills Rear End Accident Attorneys

In most cases, rear-end collisions are the result of someone not paying attention. We all know how congested Southern California freeways and roads can get.  Traffic is an everyday problem and, unfortunately, it can often lead to serious collisions and injuries. Whether you were stopped at a red light or a stop sign when the negligent driver collided with your car, or whether you were hit while you were in stop-and-go traffic on the freeway, the negligent driver who hit you should be held accountable.

Negligence is often admitted in rear-end collision cases. However, even in cases where negligence is admitted, or is easy to prove, accident victim must still establish the nature and severity of their injuries, which generally requires competent medical evidence. Do not make the mistake of thinking that, because the other driver admits fault, you do not need a lawyer. A good lawyer can be critical to ensuring your injuries are promptly and properly documented, which may be necessary for you to get a fair recovery.  The driver who hit you – or his insurance company, if he or she is insured – should have to pay for your reasonable medical expenses to diagnose and treat your injuries,  and should also compensate you for your pain, suffering and emotional distress, and any lost income or other economic harm you may suffer due to the auto accident that was not your fault. The auto accident attorneys at Drake & Associates, in Woodland Hills and Santa Barbara, can help ensure you do not inadvertently settle your claim for less than what it is worth.
Also, if the other driver does not have insurance, you may need to sue your own insurer to seek recovery. In addition, if the other driver is a commercial truck driver, or was working for an employer when he or she hit you, there may be more  than may be multiple insurance coverages and issues that need to be dealt with, and our attorneys can help you sort out those issues.
