Personal Injury Attorneys in Orange County

Every year, thousands of individuals are injured or killed in a car accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 3,623 car accident fatalities in 2016. That's a nearly 17% increase from just two years earlier in 2014. It is estimated that in the United States, 3,287 individuals lose their lives in car accidents per day, and 20-50 million are seriously injured.

If you or a loved one has suffered injury in a car accident that you believe was caused by another party’s negligence, Pacific Law is here to help you recover the compensation you need and deserve. You should not have to pay for the loss and damage that someone else brought upon you through their reckless and unsafe behavior.

Note that all of these involve some kind of negligence or error on the driver’s part. Behaviors like texting or grooming while driving, driving above the speed limit, cutting others off and changing lanes abruptly, driving under the influence, and driving while exhausted are all examples of these dangerous behaviors.

What to Do After a Car Accident

After a car accident, it is important that you preserve as much evidence at the scene as you can. If you are able, take photos of your damaged vehicle and/or injuries, and collect information about the other driver. We can use all of this to your advantage when we help you file a claim. Next, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. A doctor’s report will be another vital piece of our case, as he can report the extent of your injuries and the amount of treatment you will require.
