What Are The Most Common Causes of Car Accidents In Chino?

Data collected by California Highway Patrol (CHP)A shows that there are often multiple contributing factors in car crashes and collisions. Poor road conditions, heavy traffic, and adverse weather all make car accidents in Chino more likely to happen. However, in the majority of cases, it is the reckless and negligent actions of other drivers which are ultimately to blame. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we help you hold at-fault drivers accountable. Common causes in cases our Chino car accident attorneys handle include:

• Aggressive driving, such as tailgating and to yield;
• Disregarding stop signs and running red lights;

How Can I Get Compensation For Car Accident Injuries?

Even a seemingly minor car accident can result in serious personal injuries while more major crashes have the potential to be life threatening. Broken bones, burns, deep cuts, internal bleeding, and injuries to the back, neck, and head are all common. When these occur due to another driver's reckless behavior, you have the right to hold them responsible in a claim. Our legal team at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers can guide you in the options available. The first step is often to file a claim with your own or the other drivers insurer. When dealing with insurance representatives, it is important to remember that they are employees of for-profit businesses. As such, they have strong motives for either denying or downplaying your claim. Our Chino car accident attorneys negotiate with these companies on your behalf, helping to ensure you get the maximum amount you are entitled to in a settlement. If the driver is uninsured or your injuries are severe, we can guide you in filing a lawsuit against those responsible.

How Much Is My Car Accident Claim Worth?

The exact amount you are entitled to in a car accident claim will depend on the circumstances involved and the extent of your injuries. Common types of compensation available under the California Civil Code includes:

• Economic damages, which cover actual costs you suffer due to a car accident. This includes your current medical expenses and lost wages, as well as any future costs you are likely to incur.
• Non-economic damages, which cover intangible costs. This includes your pain, suffering, and any loss of enjoyment in life your car accident injuries result in.
• Punitive damages, which is an additional amount that may be awarded by the judge. It is available in situations where the at-fault driver acted in a particularly willful and negligent manner, such as driving with a high blood alcohol content (BAC) level.

It is important to note that at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our Chino car accident attorneys generally represent clients on a contingency basis. This means that you pay no attorney fees unless we get money for you.
