Why You Need an Orange County Car Accident Attorney

Our car accident lawyer in Orange County, CA, can quickly see if your case can be accepted, and an attorney can meet in person or handle all forms online. The Law Offices of Jacob Emrani can help by:

  • Figuring Out Who Is at Fault: An accident attorney in Orange County can determine the true cause of a car accident, such as negligence. This may be the other driver, a pedestrian, a vehicle passenger, or a bicyclist or motorcyclist. However, those on a bicycle or motorcycle are at increased risk of injury, so other parties actions must be fully accounted for.
  • Recovering Substantial Compensation: Injuries sustained in car accidents can be devastating physically and emotionally. Your car may be completely totaled. Compensation can cover lost wages (past and future wages), medical care, and loss of property. Our Orange County car accident attorneys can also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and a loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Holding Negligent Parties Accountable: Whether the accident was caused by defects in the roadway, the manufacturer of a blown tire or defective part, or another driver, we can establish accountability. A driver may be negligent if excessive speed, failure to signal, inattention, illegal turns, or improper turning or yielding right of way contributed to an accident.
  • Helping Avoid Common Mistakes: Our Orange County injury attorney can advise and represent you to avoid serious mistakes. Admitting fault is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Siding with your insurance company and settling for too little are all too common. You might not think a claim will go to trial, but only your attorney can tell you for sure.

To improve the chances of success, document everything at the scene of an accident and contact an auto accident lawyer in Orange County as soon as possible.

Common Types of Car Accidents

There are tens of thousands of auto collisions in Orange County every year. The most common accidents include:

  • Texting While Driving: Those who text behind the wheel take their eyes completely off the road. Despite rules against it, many people still text when they drive, and some experts argue it is even more dangerous than drunk driving.
  • DUI: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not just illegal, but extremely dangerous. Intoxication impairs judgement and reaction time. Getting behind the wheel after drinking puts you and others at risk. Use a designated driver or avoiding a motor vehicle entirely.
  • Distracted Driving: Texting gets a lot of attention, but really any type of distraction can prevent you from operating a vehicle safely. If you’re eyes and attention are off the road, collisions with other vehicles and objects can occur at any time.
  • Defective Roads: Potholes, large cracks, and debris can put drivers at serious risk. If roads haven’t been properly maintained, the city, county, or state may be held liable for damages. Our Orange County injury lawyer can determine if poor road conditions such as inadequate signage, defective traffic signals, or improper placement of guardrails and dividers contributed to the accident.
  • Multi-Vehicle Accidents: Among the most serious incidents, multi-vehicle crashes often happen when a motorist can’t stop in time to avoid an accident ahead. How to proceed and find fault can be complex, but an Orange County personal injury attorney can determine what compensation you may be eligible for.
  • Head-On Collision: The circumstances of a head-on collision make it one of the most dangerous accidents. Drivers in the wrong lane or on the wrong side of the road may be intoxicated, asleep at the wheel, or distracted.
  • Side Collisions: Side impacts can cause direct trauma to a driver or passenger as parts of the automobile are pushed in. They are often caused by vehicles running a light or stop sign at an intersection or pulling out before the path is clear.
  • Rear Impact Collisions: Rear impacts are one of the most common accidents but are generally not as dangerous. Still, they can cause whiplash and other serious injuries that can affect one’s income earning ability and well-being.
  • Uber/Lyft/Rideshare Accidents: Any driver can be involved in an accident. Our injury lawyers in Orange County can conduct a thorough analysis to help determine the cause of the crash. Statements from the client, witnesses, and others are useful in such incidents.

Typical Catastrophic Injuries

  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Can lead to permanent impairment and paralysis of part or all of a victim’s body.
  • TBI: The symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury don’t always appear right away, and include cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments.
  • Internal Injuries: Damage to muscles, ligaments, lungs, and internal organs can leave lasting consequences; internal bleeding can put one at immediate risk of death.
  • Loss of Limbs: Amputations of crushed limbs (hands, feet, arms, and legs) are catastrophic and have life-long consequences and expenses for survivors.
  • Broken Bones: Range from minor to compound fractures that require extensive, prolonged medical care, treatment, and rehabilitation.

What to Do After a Car Crash

First, call 911 or get medical help. Your symptoms may seem minor, but the injury could be worse than it first seems. Seek immediate medical attention and contact the authorities. Detailed medical records will help with your recovery, while insurers and juries will look upon these records more favorably if they are created immediately after a crash.

Next, contact your attorney. Our Orange County car accident lawyer will tell you what to do next, and what evidence to gather. This includes names of other drivers, passengers, and witnesses as well as the other driver’s contact/insurance information and pictures of the scene. You’ll also need the names and badge numbers of police officers, names of doctors and medical facilities, and statements from any parties involved.

File an insurance claim next, but do not provide insurance adjusters with statements. Instead, file your personal injury claim with an experienced auto accident lawyer at The Law Offices of Jacob Emrani.

In the past year, I

In the past year, I was involved in two personal injury accidents. Auto and Pedestrian. At first I went to different law firm and signed up. After couple weeks in, that law firm rushed me through the process , did nothing and took $7600 of my settlement money and want me to settled under six months. I didn’t follow through and found out Jacob Emrani law firm with more experiences. This firm helped me to settled with larger settlements. Jacob Emrani and his team support me every steps of the way. For those involved in personal injuries, please understand that you must have patience for best results and Jacob and his team is your go to firm. Small law firm can’t do what this team does. Average people without any knowledges of auto accident, insurance carriers, and/or medical experiences are too hastily assumed that everything happens with a snap of a finger or I want it now. Well, it doesn’t. Rome wasn’t built in a day and so as this process. Court case takes even longer. People with negative reviews is because they don’t understand the system and all they do is blames and complaint or fired the firm that working hard for them behind close doors. When you quit and go to another firm, all you do is waste more time, waste more of your settlement reward to another firm in fees and costs. ALl you have to do is be patience and Jacob team will takes care of you. These case managers handles couple of dozen of case everyday and all the time. These attorney work their butts off on the phone and in court fight for you to get each client the best settlement. One case are not with the same result to next case. So when people calls into the office all day long for status, demands for answer, or angry because not moving with the speed the person want does not mean case managers or attorneys ignoring you. Email them, fastest response time. They only moves as fast as insurance carriers, medicals providers, and hospitals. These insurance companies are not just going to cough up money to you just because you got hit. They need time to investigate, this process takes time, case managers only goes as fast as these people move, they fights against these adjusters for you to get the best settlement for your case. So, please be PATIENCE!!! and give them time to work on your case. DON”T QUIT. Don’t go to another firm just because you have no patience and all you do is throw your settlement money away to another attorney and your case literally start from scratch, more time waste. Jacob Emrani, his attorneys, case managers, and the all the staffs are a great team and with tremendous experiences. Put your trust in them and be patience. Final Results. $$$$$$$.
