Car Accident Injury Lawyers in Southern California

The U.S. averages approximately 6 million car accidents annually. About 2 million people a year are left with permanent injuries as a result of these crashes. Sadly, 90 people die on American roads every day. When an auto accident is caused by the negligence or recklessness of another, the victim deserves compensation. But it won’t happen automatically. Injured people and grieving families must often enlist the help of a skilled car accident lawyer to ensure their rights are protected.

The Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman, P.C. is dedicated to representing injured car accident victims in Southern California and beyond. Our attorneys are known as aggressive litigators who do not back down. We know how to oppose the tactics of auto insurance companies that seek to minimize claims, and we know how to hold negligent drivers accountable for the harm they cause. Contact us today and our team will get in touch with you.

Handling All Types of Car Accident Claims

Our personal injury attorneys have successfully handled insurance issues and personal injury claims stemming from a wide range of auto accident scenarios, including:

  • Head-on collisions
  • Rear-end collisions
  • Accidents caused by defective auto parts and equipment
  • Side impact collisions (also known as T-bone collisions or broadsides)
  • Hit-and-run accidents
  • Multi-vehicle pile-ups

Gathering Evidence to Prove Your Car Accident Claim

A successful car accident injury claim hinges on the amount and quality of evidence available. Our seasoned attorneys act quickly to gather information, locate and interview witnesses, obtain video from the scene, obtain police reports and collect medical records. We then analyze every available piece of evidence to determine what really caused the crash.

Whenever necessary, we enlist the help of experience accident investigators and accident reconstruction experts to assist in building the case and to testify at trial.

What Was the Cause of Your Car Crash?

Negligent or reckless driving comes in many forms, and our attorneys have handled cases involving nearly every type. We have won cases for clients who were injured because another driver was:

  • Speeding
  • Texting while driving
  • Talking on a cell phone while driving
  • Asleep at the wheel
  • Driving aggressively
  • Driving while intoxicated/DUI accidents
  • Driving too fast for road conditions

Many car accidents are the result of defective automobile parts, not necessarily the fault of another driver. We have experience representing clients whose were injured due to defects in their own vehicles, including poorly manufactured tires, faulty braking systems, faulty self-driving features and much more.

Representing Severely Injured Car Accident Victims

Insurance companies and at-fault drivers will do everything they can to minimize the amount of compensation paid to an injured person, even when the victim is permanently harmed. We know what it takes to obtain full and fair compensation for clients who sustained very serious trauma, such as:

  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Severe burns and scars
  • Amputation
  • Soft tissue injuries/whiplash
  • Broken bones

Physical injuries are not the only things that leave scars. Car accidents also leave victims with severe emotion trauma, along with pain and suffering. We will do our best to ensure that you are fully compensated for everything you have suffered, both physically and emotionally.
