Pain and Suffering After a “Minor” Car Accident?

Posted by One Law Group Auto Accident Attorneys

in Auto Accidents

As vague as this might seem, you are allowed by law to file an insurance claim for pain and suffering. This is completely separate from the lost wages or medical expenses you might claim. This is why it is important to seek medical treatment for your injuries after an accident – your car insurance company will more than likely not accept your claim if you don't. ...

Posted by One Law Group Auto Accident Attorneys

in Bicycle Accidents

Bicycle accidents often result in serious, sometimes deadly, injuries. Lawsuits to recover damages for injuries inflicted in a bicycle accident with a car tend to involve just as many of the same issues that arise in any other auto accident lawsuit.

Damages for Concussions can be Tricky!

Posted by One Law Group Auto Accident Attorneys

in Auto Accidents

[vc_row triangle_shape="no"][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you have sustained an injury to your head because of an accident, you might want to consider, at some point, how much you would be prepared to accept when it comes to settling your claim with the at-fault party. Symptoms of a concussion are: Dizziness Fatigue Insomnia (or excessive sleeping) Irritability Sensitivity to light/noise Changes in behavior/emotions If the concussion was sustained by the carelessness or aggression of another and you start experiencing post-concussion syndrome, you could have grounds for filing a claim against the other party’s insurance company or they don’t have insurance, the at-fault party has the funds to pay. Though, when it comes to your claim, the voluntary settlement could be more cost-effective to you (and the defendant) because it can save both parties the time and cost of litigation. Since a concussion injury can be very critical and determining compensation for a head injury settlement can be difficult and is reliant on various factors. At One Law Group in Beverly Hills, our lawyers can help you understand the differences between special damages and general damages and how we can help you receive damages.

Accident with an Uninsured Driver in Beverly Hills

Posted by One Law Group Auto Accident Attorneys

in Auto Accidents

[vc_row triangle_shape="no"][vc_column][vc_column_text]Driving can be viewed as a rite of passage for teenagers. Along with the independence and freedom associated with getting behind the wheel comes great responsibility. When you don’t follow the rules of the road, your right to drive can be taken away by the state, who has to ensure the safety of the general public. A study released by the AAA Foundation of Public Safety states that one in every five fatal crashes in the United States involves an unlicensed driver. So, there is a high chance that you will get involved in an accident with someone who has been driving without a license. Though it is illegal, the same rules of negligence will apply, and an unlicensed driver will not be considered at fault just because they are unlicensed. For instance, if you hit someone from behind and it ends up being a vehicle driven by an unlicensed driver, you (or your insurer) will still be at fault and responsible to pay for the damage to their vehicle and any claim for injury compensation. This situation becomes more of an issue in accidents with unlicensed drivers who are at fault and the insurance company of the vehicle they...

Injuries to Watch for After a Car Accident

Neck pain is very common to experience after a car accident, and it doesn't show up right away. In worse cases, the pain can be severe enough to disrupt your life. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) calculated that in 2012, the cost of claims where neck pain was the most serious injury was about $10 billion, around 26 percent of the total payout for crash injuries. Whiplash is a result of the soft tissues (the muscles and ligaments) of your neck being extended beyond their range of motion. In a car accident, whiplash occurs your head moves back and forth suddenly with great force, usually following a rear-end car collision. As stated before, the symptoms of whiplash don’t usually appear for a while, so be sure that you pay attention to any physical changes for a few days following an accident. Symptoms will generally appear within 24 hours after the accident. Though, there are some instances where symptoms may develop after a few days. They tend to last for several weeks. Common whiplash symptoms include: discomfort and stiffness in the neck headaches near the base of the skull vertigo blurry vision lethargy When you visit...

Filing a Claim for a Bus Accident

Posted by One Law Group Auto Accident Attorneys

in Auto Accidents

When you step onto a bus (city, tour, school, etc), you are putting trust in the driver’s ability to keep you safe and that the owner of the bus has kept up the maintenance of the bus. Especially because most buses do not require seat belts, it is crazy that we often feel secure when riding buses. But buses drive around with other cars and are at risk of being involved in an accident. In the United States, there has been a steady increase in the number of bus involved accidents. The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that in 2016, there are around 69,000 bus accidents, mainly public transportation. There are many causes of bus accidents, including a driver that is fatigued, distracted, or intoxicated, particularly a driver who was using some type of electronic device at the time of an accident.
