Different Types of Car, truck & Motorcycle Accidents
Most car accidents in and around Moreno Valley involve two passenger vehicles. While a lot of factors can determine how severe a car accident is, a crash involving two similarly-sized vehicles generally has better outcomes than a collision involving two vehicles with significantly different sizes. Some of the most common car crashes you’ll see on Moreno Valley roads include rear-end, side-impact, and head-on collisions.
You also have to prepare, though, for accidents involving other types of vehicles. Motorcycle accidents, for example, can cause multi-vehicle pileups when a motorcyclist is thrown off their bike and other drivers are forced to take evasive action. Commercial truck collisions can shut down entire freeways for hours on end, resulting in multiple fatalities and hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage.
How Vulnerable Road Users Are Affected
As a larger city, Moreno Valley has no shortage of vulnerable road users—that includes pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists. While other road users are protected by vehicles meant to absorb the force of a crash, vulnerable road users have no such protection. At most, bicyclists and motorcyclists have helmets—and those only go so far.
When there’s a crash involving a pedestrian, motorcyclist, or bicyclist, they are far more likely to suffer severe or even fatal injuries than those in standard vehicles. That’s why it’s so important for drivers to be particularly careful when near other road users.
Who’s Liable?
Determining liability is an essential step in any personal injury claim, and it’s one of the main reasons you’ll want to consult a car accident attorney in Moreno Valley. Liability may rest solely with one party, or it may be split between multiple parties. California is a comparative negligence state, so even if you are partially to blame for an accident, you may still recover compensation. However, if your case goes to court, your award will ultimately be decreased proportionate to your share of blame.
What if an accident isn’t caused by driver error? In these cases, liability often rests with the vehicle manufacturer, the government entity meant to maintain the roads, or the repair shop entrusted with the vehicles’ repairs. In any of these situations, you’ll need evidence to back up your claims.
How Strong Legal Representation Can Help You
When you choose the right attorney for your car accident claim, you can avoid going head-to-head with the other driver’s insurance company. This is crucial; they may reach out to you to get your side of the story, and they may even act like your friend. The insurance adjuster may seem concerned about your injuries and appear interested in helping you recover compensation. Remember, though, that their goal is to protect their company’s bottom line—and that means not paying you what you are owed.
That’s where we can help. At Castillo & Montes Attorneys At Law, we understand how important it is to get fair and full compensation after a crash. You’re dealing with expensive injuries, unpaid time away from work, damage to your vehicle, and the mental trauma of a crash—let us handle your legal needs while you recover.
