Types of Car Accidents the Attorneys at Lem Garcia Law Handle

The types of car accidents the legal team at Lem Garcia Law handles span every collision scenario that causes injury or property destruction. Rear-end collisions from distracted driving generate whiplash, spinal compression, and traumatic brain injuries requiring immediate medical intervention and aggressive insurance negotiations. T-bone impacts at intersections produce catastrophic injuries when negligent drivers ignore traffic signals or fail to yield right-of-way. Head-on collisions, sideswipe accidents, multi-vehicle pileups, hit-and-run incidents, and parking lot crashes each demand specialized investigation techniques and evidence preservation strategies.

  1. Distracted Driving Accidents

    Distracted driving causes thousands of preventable collisions annually as motorists text, adjust navigation systems, or engage in other non-driving activities. Victims suffer severe injuries while negligent drivers face liability for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.

  2. Drunk Driving Collisions

    Drunk driving collisions devastate families when impaired motorists choose intoxication over public safety. California law imposes enhanced penalties and punitive damages against drunk drivers, creating opportunities for substantial compensation beyond standard economic damages.

  3. Accidentes con vehículos compartidos

    Rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers present complex liability scenarios with multiple insurance policies, corporate defendants, and jurisdictional questions. Determining whether drivers operated within their employment scope at collision time affects available compensation and recovery strategies.

Maximizing Compensation for Injury Victims

Maximizing compensation for injury victims requires thorough documentation of economic damages and non-economic losses. 

Economic damages include medical expenses, surgical costs, rehabilitation fees, prescription medications, medical equipment, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and property damage. 

Non-economic damages encompass pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent scarring, disfigurement, and loss of consortium. The firm collaborates with medical experts, vocational specialists, economists, and life care planners to quantify future losses and present compelling settlement demands.

 

The Personal Injury Claims Process

The personal injury claims process begins with immediate medical evaluation establishing injury causation and treatment protocols. Seek emergency care for serious injuries, document all symptoms, follow prescribed treatment plans, and maintain organized records of medical visits, prescriptions, and therapy sessions. Report accidents to appropriate authorities, gather witness contact information, photograph accident scenes and injuries, and preserve physical evidence.

A Filipino car accident and personal injury attorney at Lem Garcia Law will initiate a thorough investigation, obtaining police reports, medical records, employment documentation, and insurance policies. 

An attorney will identify all liable parties including negligent drivers, vehicle owners, employers, property owners, manufacturers, and government entities. Demand letters present liability evidence and damage calculations to insurance carriers, commencing settlement negotiations. 

 

Understanding California Personal Injury Law

California applies pure comparative negligence, reducing compensation proportionally to plaintiff fault percentage while preserving recovery rights even when plaintiffs share partial responsibility. The statute of limitations imposes strict deadlines, typically two years from injury date for personal injury claims and three years for property damage, requiring prompt legal action to preserve claims.

California recognizes various negligence theories including premises liability, product liability, and vicarious liability. Liability requires proving duty of care, breach of that duty, causation linking breach to injuries, and quantifiable damages. Insurance companies employ aggressive tactics to minimize payouts, including early lowball offers, recorded statements seeking admissions, surveillance, and medical examination demands.
