A Local Perspective on Palm Desert Traffic Risks

Palm Desert has evolved into a sprawling recreation, entertainment, and shopping mecca with roadways as diverse as its community. Drivers share the roads with pedestrians, cyclists, and out-of-town visitors unfamiliar with local traffic patterns. Interstate 10, Highway 111, and the winding roads that lead to the Coachella Valley all pose distinct hazards. Distracted driving, speeding, and occasional desert storms add layers of risk to a commute. We bring a local perspective to Palm Desert car accident cases, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

Our car accident attorney has extensive experience advocating for the rights of injury victims in a wide range of car accident cases, including the following:

  • Uber and Lyft accidents: Rideshare drivers distracted by their apps and under pressure to pick up and transport passengers quickly may be more likely to crash.
  • Hit and run accidents: When at-fault drivers hit and run, injured victims are left with the added stress of being unable to hold responsible parties financially liable.
  • T-bone collisions: Drivers who run red lights or stop signs and collide broadside with another vehicle can cause serious injuries to occupants.
  • Side-impact accidents: Sideswipes and side-impact collisions often occur with negligent drivers who fail to ensure the safety of others when changing lanes and merging.
  • Rear-end collisions: Common at intersections, rear-end accidents are often caused by distracted driving or following too closely.
  • Head-on collisions: The impact of a head-on crash is often a disaster, leading to serious, catastrophic, or fatal injuries.
  • Drunk driving accidents: One person is killed every 39 minutes in a drunk driving crash in the U.S., as reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA ).
  • Distracted driving accidents: Distractions such as texting, talking on the phone, and anything that diverts attention from operating the vehicle endangers everyone on the road.
  • Fatal car accidents: California traffic deaths increased by 7.6% in a recent year, as reported by the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS ).

Compensation in Palm Desert Car Accident Claims

A car accident can damage much more than your vehicle. It can derail your health, finances, and peace of mind. Our experienced car accident attorney will fight for compensation that addresses the full scope of your losses. Depending on the nature and extent of your injuries and the circumstances of your case, your car accident damages may include the following:

  • Past and future medical expenses (including everything from ER visits to long-term rehabilitation)
  • Lost wages (if your injuries prevent you from working)
  • Loss of future earning capacity (income you would have reasonably expected to earn over the course of your working life had the injury not occurred)
  • Property damage (repairs or replacement of your vehicle)
  • Pain and suffering (physical pain and discomfort from injuries and medical procedures, and mental pain and suffering, such as emotional distress, anxiety, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life)
  • Loss of consortium (impact of the injuries on your intimate relationships)
