STOCKTON AUTO ACCIDENT ATTORNEY HELPS VICTIMS OF ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY DISTRACTED & NEGLIGENT DRIVERS

Stockton Auto Accident Attorney Helps Victims of Accidents Caused by Distracted & Negligent Drivers

As if driving a multi-thousand pound vehicle at 60 miles per hour wasn’t dangerous enough… Now half the drivers on the road aren’t even paying attention to what they are doing!!!!

With the advent of the smart phone and the new technological era that it brought along, we have seen distracted driving statistics increase at an alarming rate. The problem with distracted driving is that it directly correlates with the number of automobile accidents that occur every year. As the distracted driving rate goes up, we have more accidents – as it decreases, we have less. The math is simple enough, right?

Unfortunately, stopping the problem is not, and if we choose to be on the road, we will have to deal with it the best we can. [Read more…]

STOCKTON ACCIDENT ATTORNEY HELPS VICTIMS OF ACCIDENTS INVOLVING LARGE TRUCKS

Stockton Accident Attorney Helps Victims of Accidents Involving Large Trucks

According to the most recent national crash data, large trucks were involved in over 3,700 fatal crashes, 88,000 injury crashes and 346,000 property damage only crashes in 2014. These numbers are expected to rise as we continue to see an increase in national vehicle miles traveled by large trucks.

Who is at fault in a Large Truck Accident?

Like all accidents, each large truck accident involves its own unique set of circumstances that will determine who is at fault. Unlike most passenger vehicle accidents, there are often more parties involved than just those present at the time of the accident. Many truck drivers are hired to drive a company truck, and therefor are not responsible for the maintenance of the vehicle – this liability can be passed onto the trucking company. Determining the key cause of negligence in these cases is more complicated and requires the deep knowledge and experience of a Stockton accident lawyer. The lawyers at The Friel Law Firm are experts in the field and have a proven track record of producing results for individuals injured during accidents involving large trucks. [Read more…]

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT

Car Accident Attorney in Stockton Explains What To Do After Car Accident

Regardless of whether fault has been established for an accident not, all involved parties should immediately consult with an attorney. It is important to know what to do to protect the legal rights of yourself and your loved ones. Time is of the essence in serious injury cases because physical evidence may be destroyed or lost, witnesses’ memories may fade, and recovery of out of pocket expenses can be delayed.

  • Obtain the name, address, telephone number, driver’s license number, license plate number and insurance company of all parties involved in the accident.
  • Obtain the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
  • Call the police immediately to make an accident report.
  • If you are injured, seek immediate medical treatment, make sure that you give a detailed description every part of your body that is injured.
  • Take photographs of your injuries.
  • Take pictures of any damaged motor vehicles involved in the accident.
  • Take pictures of the scene of the accident.
  • Report the accident to your insurance company.
  • Do not give a statement, speak to the insurance company or sign any documents without first consulting an attorney.

Selecting the right car accident attorney in Stockton is an important decision. You should choose someone who is experienced, aggressive and dedicated to working to get you fair compensation for your injuries. That is why you should contact The Friel Law Firm. We have successfully represented thousands of accident and injury victims over the past decade.
