When to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
There’s no substitute for experience and a veteran Irvine personal injury attorney is the surest way toward reaching that full and fair compensation you deserve following an accident. Injuries themselves may require medical treatment, but what about pain and suffering if you experience those? Your personal injury lawyer will make sure every box is checked in helping you return to a normal life and without having to worry about these things or having to negotiate on your own with insurance companies.
It doesn’t matter if you experience a slip and fall, car accident or sexual molestation. These all fall under the umbrella of personal injury law and are the bailiwick of the best personal injury attorneys. In the case of Kyle Scott, three decades of practice and dozens of successful outcomes, verdicts and settlements should allow you to rest easy and trust in his competence to take your claim to the finish line. After all, when you’re injured you need to take care of yourself. It’s the responsibility of the attorney to gain that compensation on your behalf. Personal injury cases and dealing with insurance companies can be like a rusted hinge on a door that will not budge. The top Irvine personal injury lawyers are akin to oil or grease that allow that hinge to open to full and fair compensation.
Other personal injury attorneys with less experience do not—can not—bring all the legal armament to bear for a client, but a skilled injury lawyer like Kyle Scott have the trial experience that, if necessary, will come in handy should your injury claim need to go to trial. This is less common than a settlement but in those instances it pays to have a lawyer with trial experience in your corner. Insurance companies are huge, intimidating corporations that a lone individual would be hard pressed to negotiate with. The extra clout an attorney brings is sometimes enough to make these companies think twice about low-ball settlements.
Should I Call a Car Accident Lawyer?
Automobile accidents are another area of personal injury law and many of these areas overlap. A car wreck may result in a TBI, as could a slip and fall. However, traffic accidents occur with much more regularity given that millions of motorists use our Orange County roadways each month. Irvine acts as a hub in Orange County, and attracts its share of drivers so vehicular accidents are not a surprise here. Irvine car accident attorney Kyle Scott has dealt with many accidents in this part of the county and has assisted victims in gaining compensation for injuries that have been the result of someone else’s negligence.
Without doubt, having a car accident lawyer on your side means you don’t need to jump at the first offer of an insurance company. The lower the amount an insurance company need pay out, the greater their profit. Insurance companies business is making money, so limiting the compensation amounts is crucial to maintain profits. Having a car accident lawyer on your team ensures that your rights are looked after and the insurance company must talk with an experience legal voice, not just you, the injured individual.
If only this prevented all car accidents in Irvine.
When car crashes are serious the injured party may require a significant amount of medical care. This can be expensive and you may be entitled to compensation for those expenses you incur. Car wreck lawyers advocate for you so that you can secure such compensation and not have to worry about medical expenses. Accidents ruin more than vehicles: they can ruin lives. Without personal injury attorneys to fight for injured clients, those clients may never regain the life (or some semblance thereof) they had prior to the auto accident. Did the accident prevent you from working? That’s another thing a veteran lawyer will fight for—compensation for lost wages. Pain and suffering may also last well past the accident—perhaps for years. These too should be compensated.
After a Traffic Accident in Irvine
Traffic accidents are often attributable to distracted driving or impaired driving. With today’s technology and our dependence on our cell phones it’s easier than ever for some drivers to become distracted. Talking or texting while driving is a recipe for a car accident. In only takes a second looking away from the road for something to happen. If a person’s eyes are not on the road they have no control over the vehicle and cannot react to changes (other cars, motorcycles, trucks or pedestrians) that appear in front of their vehicle. Likewise, a drive may be impaired by drugs or alcohol or even lack of sleep. Reaction times go down and what might have been an avoidable accident turns into a real one.
In each case the same advice applies. Immediately after an accident, make sure you and other drivers are physically alright. Medical aid for injuries is the immediate concern. If you are able, record the accident scene by taking photos. Modern technology has made this easier in recent years and most of us nowadays own cell phones with cameras. Photos will help document the scene of the accident for your Irvine car accident attorney. They can also help your lawyer in putting a case together. If and when you are able to do so, call the law offices of Kyle Scott for free a case evaluation.
Enlisting an Irvine car accident lawyer early on following a car wreck can help preserve your rights and secure a higher settlement for you than accepting offers from insurance companies. Speak to a veteran personal injury attorney first before ever dealing with an insurance company.
Is Irvine Prone to Traffic Accidents?
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) California recently (2018) reported a decrease in the number of traffic fatalities in the state which is good news for Orange County as Irvine even though our state continues to grow. More positive statistics include:
- Pedestrian fatalities went down 5%
- Alcohol-impaired driving fatalities decreased 6.8%
- Motorcycle deaths decreased 15.57% compared to the year before.
- Unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities went down by 4.3%
It should be noted that teenage motor vehicle fatalities went up 21.4% that year. Also, of those drivers who died in auto accidents (who were tested), 42% tested positive for drugs.
Irvine may have seen decreases in traffic accidents, but Orange County is just like the rest of the nation and distracted or impaired drivers are going to be on our roadways. We aim to reduce the causes of vehicle accidents, but they do continue to occur. Orange County is also home to several freeways which pass through it including the 405, 5 and 91 freeways. The sheer number of vehicles on our freeways means that statistically there will be accidents.
Car accidents are a daily occurrence and the effects of accident injuries can cause physical, emotional, psychological and financial hardship. If you suffered any of these things resulting from an accident, you can count on Irvine accident lawyer Kyle Scott Law to look out for your interests.
Hiring a Slip and Fall Lawyer
The impact of a car wreck is an image we can easily call to mind. We understand how high speeds can cause injuries, but slipping and falling, even from a standing height is enough to cause serious injury. Indeed, traumatic brain injuries have been caused by slips and falls. The impact of a head on a hard surface even from a height of six feet is akin to the jarring movement and impacts involved in a car accident.
All Irvine property owners have a duty to keep prevent slip and fall injuries
Because slip and fall injuries are so common and the majority of such injuries occur on floors or walkways there is actually the National Floor Safety Institute which compiles and publishes statistics on floor safety. Slipping on an object on the ground may have been used historically to comic effect by people like Charlie Chaplin, however the reality is much different from motion pictures. What looks amusing on the big screen can be life-threatening in actuality. If you or someone you love experience a slip and fall and were injured as result, and the injury occurred someone else’s property you should contact veteran Irvine slip and fall the Attorney Kyle Scott to discuss your case and any monetary rewards you may be entitled to.
After car accidents, slips, trips and falls are the most common type of personal injury claim. No matter where we are in Orange County, at one point or another on an almost daily basis we have to venture onto someone else’s property. The owners of those properties have a duty to keep them free of hazards that can contribute to the injury of anyone visiting properties. It’s known as premises liability and it’s one of the areas your experienced Irvine personal injury attorney Kyle Scott knows well.
Irvine Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Motorcycle accidents or another subset of personal injury law and one Irvine injury attorney Kyle Scott is well-versed in. One need only read local publications like the O.C. Breeze to understand the risks that motorcycle riders take each time they mount their bikes to ride. Automobile drivers need to be especially observant because they share the road with their two-wheeled brethren and those motorcycle riders are not afforded the same amount of protection that someone riding in a car has.
Motorcycle riders have to take the additional tests and answer specific questions at the DMV in order to get a motorcycle license. Most riders are aware of the risks that come with riding a motorcycle and are extra vigilant. However, just as in the case of automobile accidents, a rider cannot anticipate the moves of every other driver on the road. Emergency or dangerous conditions can crop up at the blink of an eye and motorcyclists may not have time to sufficiently react, resulting in a motorcycle crash or injury. It goes without saying that motorcyclists do not use–or have—seat belts, so when a motorcycle impacts another object such as a vehicle the rider is not restrained as he or she would have been had they’ve been in an automobile.
Irvine motorcyclists who have been injured in an accident should rely upon the experience of attorney Kyle Scott. Call the offices of Mr. Scott following any such injury accident. Mr. Scott and his staff are standing by to protect your rights and interests and win the full and fair compensation you deserve. 714-544-1460.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default”]
