Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

Morongo’s desert landscape is serene, but the roads in the area pose unique risks. Our firm handles a wide variety of car accident cases, including the following:

  • Drunk driving accidents: Alcohol-impaired driving contributed to 1,370 traffic deaths statewide in a recent year, as reported by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS ).
  • Distracted driving accidents: Driver distraction is any activity that diverts attention away from driving. Texting is particularly alarming, taking the driver’s eyes off the road for five seconds.
  • Uber and Lyft accidents: When rideshare drivers are navigating unfamiliar areas and under pressure to respond to ride requests quickly, it can lead to distracted or reckless driving and accidents.
  • Rear-end collisions: This type of crash is common at intersections and is often caused by distracted driving or tailgating.
  • T-bone accidents: When the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another, it can cause severe injuries due to the lack of protection provided by the side panels.
  • Head-on collisions: The combined force of two vehicles traveling toward each other colliding head-on is often the cause of catastrophic injuries or loss of life.
  • Side impact accidents: This type of crash often occurs when a vehicle is struck along its side during lane changes or merges.
  • Hit and run accidents: When at-fault drivers leave the scene of the accident, victims are left not only with physical injuries and property damage but also with the added stress of not holding responsible parties accountable.
  • Fatal car accidents: An estimated 44,450 people died in traffic crashes in the U.S. in 2023, as stated by the National Safety Council. Surviving family members are entitled to seek compensation and justice for their loved ones.

Recourse for Car Accident Victims in Morongo

California car accident victims have a powerful legal framework to help them recover from losses caused by someone else’s negligence. They can pursue claims through insurance settlements or, if necessary, file lawsuits against at-fault parties. The law allows victims to claim the following types of damages:

Economic damages

These are quantifiable monetary losses, such as past and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, and property damage.

Non-economic damages

This category includes subjective, intangible losses that are not as easily quantifiable. Examples include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.

Punitive damages

In rare cases, punitive damages, designed to punish the defendant and deter similar actions in the future, may be awarded for car accidents. The plaintiff must show that the defendant acted with willful disregard for the harm their actions could cause.
