Freeway Accidents

On January 1, 1940, the first freeway in California opened. The 110 Freeway stretched from downtown Los Angeles to Pasadena, opening up new possibilities for commuters in Southern California. Soon, other freeways would follow with promises of multiple lanes of non-stop flowing traffic, and the ability to drive from downtown to the beach in 20 minutes. These new arteries of transportation turned Southern California into the one of the largest metropolitan centers in the United States. But unfortunately, high-speed travel has also increased the likelihood of freeway accidents across the region, including busy Newport Beach highways. In fact, it is not uncommon for these accidents to cause serious injuries that result in costly medical expenses for victims and require them to seek the help of an attorney to recover damages. If you need an experienced lawyer to help you understand your rights, Jamal Injury Law P.C. is here for you.

The list of common causes of freeway accidents is familiar:

• Alcohol/Drug Use
• Distracted Drivers
• Poor Weather Conditions
• Road Construction
• Tailgating
• Vehicle Defects/Maintenance Issues
• High-Speed Police Pursuits

Although all types of car accidents can be dangerous, when such accidents occur on a freeway, the consequences can be much more severe, and involve many more people. Chain reaction accidents on Newport Beach freeways are more common because it is difficult to avoid accidents that suddenly occur in high-speed traffic.

An accident on the freeway can have long-term effects. Financially, you could experience medical expenses, lost wages, and damage to your property. Your health may suffer because of physical pain, disfigurement, dismemberment, or permanent disability. There are also mental costs to these kinds of accidents, such as emotional distress, grief, anxiety, and depression. As you can see, with the complexity of such cases, finding an experienced Newport Beach car accident lawyer is often crucial. At Jamal Injury Law P.C., we are committed to helping you get the compensation you deserve.

Dealing with all of these potential issues can be extremely challenging, but trying to recover compensation for your injuries by yourself can be even tougher. Insurance companies have armies of lawyers, as do the auto manufacturers who sometimes build cars with defects. If your accident is the result of poorly maintained Newport Beach freeways, you may also have a case against the government.

Regardless of the type of case, if you represent yourself in a courtroom, the court will treat you as if you were an attorney, which means that you will have to follow the same complex procedure and evidence rules, and failing to follow them could lead to your case being dismissed. In order to ensure that you fully understand your rights and follow all legal mandates, it’s best to work with an experienced lawyer.

Freeway accidents are serious matters. If you have been injured in this type of car accident, you don’t have to fight the insurance companies, the auto companies, or the government on your own. You deserve knowledgeable and caring legal representation to receive fair reimbursement for your losses. An experienced and skilled car accident lawyer can handle your case for you, and ensure that you recover the compensation that you deserve.
