MURRIETA PERSONAL INJURY LAW FIRM
In order to receive compensation for your injuries, your attorney needs to prove that the other party was negligent. Negligence in essence, means that someone should have been careful to others, they weren't and because of that, they injured someone else.
A common example of this would be: Texting Tom is driving on a Murrieta freeway, with other drivers on the road. The other drivers slow down due to traffic, but Texting Tom doesn't notice this because he is looking at his phone, when boom! He hits the car in front of him.
That impact causes whiplash to Safe Driving Sally's neck. Safe Driving Sally now has to go to the doctors and seek medical treatment due to the pain caused by Texting Tom. Safe Driving Sally also misses time off of work and has unpaid medical bills. But since Safe Driving Sally called personal injury attorney Kris Crawford, she'll get compensation for her time off work, get those medical bills paid and get some money in her pocket for her pain and suffering.
COMMON CAUSES OF VEHICLE ACCIDENTS IN MURRIETA
-
Speeding – Driving above the posted speed limit or too fast for conditions prevents the driver from having total control over their vehicle. It can also cause more severe injuries and damage in a collision.
-
Adverse weather – Snow, rain, wind, and other poor weather conditions create a dangerous situation for drivers. They must adjust how to maneuver through it to arrive at their Murrieta destination safely.
-
Distracted driving – Distractions, such as eating, texting, applying makeup, and engaging in conversation with a passenger, directs the motorist’s attention and focus from the task of driving to something else.
-
Reckless driving – Road rage, weaving in and out of traffic, and ignoring road signs and traffic signals are all examples of reckless behavior that can increase the risk of an accident.
-
Drunk or drugged driving – Drugs and alcohol slow reaction time, alter sensory perception, reduce motor skills, and cause drowsiness.
-
Driver fatigue – Driving while tired is similar to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It impairs a person’s ability to operate their vehicle safely and react appropriately to an emergency.
-
Failure to yield – Murrieta drivers must yield to pedestrians and other drivers when necessary. If someone runs a red light or speeds through a crosswalk, they could cause a serious crash.
-
Tailgating – Following another vehicle too closely prevents a motorist from slowing down or stopping to avoid a hazard in the road or if traffic ahead comes to a standstill.
There are many other reasons a car accident can occur. If you see or even if you don’t see the cause of your crash on the list, contact The Law Office of Kris Crawford, A Professional Law Corporation so we can review your case and determine if you are eligible to seek compensation.
COMMON INJURIES IN AUTO ACCIDENTS IN MURRIETA
-
Neck Injuries / Whiplash - Whiplash is one of the most common injuries due to traffic-related accidents in Murrieta, as the impact from a crash can cause the head to suddenly move and turn in different ways, causing ligaments and muscles to tear along the neck.
-
Back or Spine Injuries - The initial impact of a crash typically causes the body to jolt, which causes severe strain along the spine. That’s why the most reported type of auto crash injuries in Murrieta include torn back muscles and herniated discs.
-
Broken Bones - Broken bones can be a severe and long-term injury caused from car accidents in Murrieta. Broken bones can result from blunt force trauma, stress against the seatbelt, and from appendages being crushed between car components and/or the surrounding environment. Bones in the arms and legs are the most likely to break in a car accident, since they are the least likely to be protected by airbags or other safety features.
-
Wrist Injuries - When the steering wheel airbag inflates outwards, the sudden force can bend and twist the wrists in different directions, which can cause broken bones and/or torn muscles.
-
Chest Pain - Chest pains are common indicators of a multitude of injuries following a car crash in Murrieta. Accident-related injuries causing chest pains include heart attacks, panic attacks, bruises on the rib cage or abdomen, broken ribs, or more. Similar to stomach injuries, chest pains can also arise days to weeks after an accident, depending on the type of injury causing the pain.
-
Knee Injuries - Murrieta drivers and front-side passengers may slam their knees into the dashboard, glove box, or steering wheel, causing severe injuries to the surrounding bones, ligaments and tendons, as well as the patella.
-
Seat Belt Injuries - Seat belts are designed to protect you from fatal damage, but they can cause burns and bruises on the flesh of your torso. While seat belt injuries can be severe, they are still very effective at preventing a variety of life-threatening injuries.
-
Hip Injuries - Hip injuries usually occur when victims are hit from the side, including T-bone accidents. These impacts cause the upper body to violently bend to one side, dislocating or rupturing areas surrounding the hip. Hip injuries can also result from head-on collisions where the victim’s weight shifts forward suddenly. This puts enormous strain on the lower portion of the seat belt that crosses your lap. While this keeps the victim from going through the windshield, the sudden pressure can cause severe hip injuries.
