Uber Self Drive Vehicle Kills | Beverly Hills Personal Injury

Self-driving cars will likely take up the roadways sooner than we can imagine. However, companies that are hosting these vehicles are still working out the kinks in order to make them safe for the public. In recent test drives, there was an unfortunate accident in one of the major cities that hosted one of these test drives. According to The Washington Post reporters Faiz Siddiqui and Mechael Laris, “Uber abruptly halted testing of its autonomous vehicles across North America on Monday, after a 49-year old woman was struck and killed by one of its cars while crossing a Tempe, Ariz. street Sunday night” (washingtonpost.com, March 19, 2018). These types of accidents may become more common as the day of self-driving cars comes to be more prevalent in society. Therefore, it behooves you to know a good personal injury attorney who can help you receive the compensation you need to pay for the right medical treatment. If the accident resulted in a death, like in the Tempe, AZ case, you will need an experienced attorney who understands how to fight insurance companies in a wrongful death case. At One Law Group, we are here to fight for you. Call (844)626-1LAW to schedule an...

Medical Treatment on a Lien Basis

Posted by One Law Group Auto Accident Attorneys

in Personal Injury

Medical treatment on a lien basis is not very difficult to obtain. However, a person must be aware that their treatment can be covered. This is why the personal injury attorneys in Beverly Hills at One Law Group, PC take the time to inform you of all your options after your injury. Unfortunately, not all people who suffer a personal injury can afford proper medical care and some may not have sufficient medical insurance to cover treatment. However, a personal injury case can help with sufficient medical treatment that can be paid for on a lien basis. A lien is a mandate of payment which can be in conjunction with a personal injury case. Treatment on a lien basis means that a patient doesn’t need to have medical insurance or even make an initial payment since it will likely be covered after the verdict of the personal injury case. This is an understanding that your doctor will need to have prior to treatment, and this usually includes filling out a few extra forms. In other words, you are granting a doctor who will treat you a lien against your recovery in your personal injury case, which will assure the doctor that he or...

With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, it’s important to talk about roadway safety. Whether you are driving to visit friends house, going out for dinner, or staying close to home and driving to the store, roadway safety is something that everybody should take into consideration. Over the years, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has remained diligent about providing information on the dangers that are present of the roadways during the holidays. Inevitably, the roadways are busier during the holiday season than any other time of year. Busy roadways play a significant role in increasing the risk of injury from an auto accident. The NHTSA has indicated that it has increased its efforts on drunk driving prevention and seat belt safety awareness. According to the NHTSA, “The nationwide seat belt use rate was 90.1 percent in 2016” (nhtsa.gov, 2017). Unfortunately, data from the NHTSA also shows that there were approximately 781 people killed in December 2016 as a result of drunk driving auto accidents, and nearly 4,000 people died from auto accidents that involved drunk drivers. This year, the NHTSA has begun a campaign title “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” as a way to draw attention to drunk driving....

Elbow Injury from An Auto Accident

Posted by One Law Group Auto Accident Attorneys

in Personal Injury

Back pain, neck pain, head trauma, broken bones—these are all typical personal injuries that are caused by an auto accident. Unless you’re suffering from an elbow injury after an auto accident, not many people think that an elbow dislocation, fracture, or break is possible during an auto accident. However, elbow injuries are very common when a car is involved in a side impact accident (also known as "T-bone accidents" or "broadside collisions"). An injured elbow can be the root cause to a number of painful symptoms such as hand pain, wrist pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. The reason for this is based on the connection that the nerves have to the rest of the body since nerves in the elbow are also connected to several parts of the body as they extend from the spine. As a result, a single elbow injury can cause a list of painful symptoms that only add to your personal injury claim and auto accident injury treatment. Additionally, without the proper help, your medical bills can begin to stack up. Fortunately, the personal injury attorneys at One Law Group in Beverly Hills can help you get compensated for the injuries you’ve suffered as a result of someone’s...

What is the Statute of Limitations?

Posted by One Law Group Auto Accident Attorneys

in Personal Injury

Personal injuries are tough to deal with, especially if you don’t have legal representation or are confused about how to find help. The personal injury attorneys at One Law Group can help. A personal injury can happen in situations such as in an auto accident, on a private property, on a public property, or even during a medical procedure. Regardless of how the personal injury happened, there is a limited amount of time to file a claim against the responsible party. This law is called the Statute of Limitations. The Statute of Limitations is a legal term used to define the amount of time a person has to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for causing the personal injury. In California, the statute of limitation is two years from the time the injury occurred. However, if the injury is not immediately apparent to the victim, they will have one year from the date the injury was discovered. The purpose of these limitations is to secure evidence that is current and to ensure the quality of witness testimony. If you have been in an accident and suffered a personal injury because of another person’s recklessness, the personal injury attorneys at One Law...

Personal Injuries from Bus Accidents

Posted by One Law Group Auto Accident Attorneys

in Auto Accidents

Thousands of people ride public transportation every day. From trains to buses, the need for public transportation is more than necessary for the everyday commuter. Although public transportation is one of the safest ways to commute to and from work, there is still the possibility of an injury occurring. The two most common public transportation methods in most metropolitan cities are busses and trains. However, busses are more of a common place to produce personal injuries than trains based on one key element: people. According the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), “Human error is a causative factor in 85% or more of all crashes and numerous motorcoach accidents that have resulted in fatalities where driver fatigue has been determined to be a principal cause” (ntsb.gov, 1999). Fatigue and human error can be avoided, but sometimes people ignore these signs and that’s when people get injured. Negligence and recklessness are top reasons for accidents involving buses. When a driver is tired or not paying attention to the road with enough care, the consequences can lead to severe injury and even death. Age also plays a significant role in bus accidents. The Journal of Safety Research reported risk factors associated with bus accidents, indicating...
