Truck drivers have a duty to check their blind spots when they are changing lanes or merging into traffic. Nevertheless, in some situations, a trucker may fail to see a vehicle. For your own safety, take these steps to avoid a truck’s blind spots:
🔵 Never cut off a large truck. Leave plenty of room for the driver to see your vehicle and to slow down in case you have to brake for traffic.
🔵 Avoid driving in blind spots. Try to pass quickly and leave enough distance between the truck and your vehicle for the driver to see you.
🔵 Pass on the left side of the truck. The blind spot on this side is much shorter than the blind spot on the right.
🔵 Avoid driving on the right side of the truck whenever possible, and never pass a truck on the right when it is turning. Large trucks can swing wide when they turn.
Truck accidents are complex cases involving state and federal regulations and multiple potentially liable parties. Your best chance of recovering full compensation is having an experienced Glendale truck accident attorney handle your claim. Your lawyer may call on experts to assist with an investigation to determine negligence and liability. Learn more. by clicking the link below.

Every so often, rear-end collision damage is difficult to spot by an untrained eye. Your vehicle may appear to be in perfect condition, but there may be issues under the surface that will only lead to bigger problems in the future. Rear-end collision damage not only affects the appearance, functionality and value of your car but can also put your safety at risk. For instance, if your bumper is left unrepaired, it won’t be able to absorb shock and protect you in a future car accident.
Insurance adjusters will argue that no visual damage exists. Hence your client could not have been injured. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Many accidents involve forceful impacts, causing injuries to occupants, but no visual damage is seen. That being said, having a professional body shop that can produce a detailed estimate of the damages is essential.
Other issues that may arise from rear-end car accidents include alignment problems, damage to the engine, suspension issues, electrical issues, and trunk damage. Learn more by clicking the link below.

A car accident involving a pedestrian usually results in traumatic injuries. Although pedestrians have the right of way in many instances, drivers still need to look out for pedestrians at all times. Confirm the road is clear before you cross, even at designated crosswalks. Impatient motorists who do not check for pedestrians or try to drive around pedestrians walking in crosswalks cause many pedestrian accidents and injuries. If a motorist is rushing, he may speed, or if a driver becomes irritated by a crossing pedestrian, they may try to pass you unsafely and cause a car accident. If you were severely injured in a pedestrian accident in Glendale, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries. You will need the help of a skilled lawyer.

Typically, spinal disk injuries range from mild bulging to more severe ruptured ones. A bulging disk occurs when the outer layer of the disk tears and the inner gel-like substance leaks out. This can put pressure on the nerves and cause pain. A bulging disk is often caused by injury but can also result from wear and tear over time. A ruptured disk is described as the inner gel-like substance completely breaking through the disk's outer layer. These injuries can be extremely painful and cause a great deal of disability.
Glendale, CA, is a hotbed for spinal disk injuries. The reason for this is the high number of car accidents in the area. When a person is in a car accident, they are likely to sustain a spinal disk injury. This is because the force of the impact can cause the discs in the spine to rupture or herniate.
If you or someone you know has sustained a spinal disk injury, it is crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible. When the negligence of another party causes your spinal cord injury, you must contact an injury lawyer to help you with your medical bills and other forms of compensation.

Typically, dashcams are constantly recording once activated. As the camera records new footage, it overrides old footage to preserve memory. When the dashcam owner needs footage from a particular date and time, they can save the recording in question, sparing it from automatic deletion.
In particular, dashcam footage can be crucial in a car accident injury case for the following reasons:
🔵 Establishing liability
🔵 Defending against liability
🔵 Accident severity
Dashcam evidence has emerged as a valuable tool in personal injury cases, offering objective and compelling records to support your claim. Learn more by clicking the link below.

Most firms work on what is called a contingency fee basis- which essentially means that you don't pay unless your attorney wins your case. Contingency fees are a common payment arrangement used by personal injury attorneys—including car accident attorneys. The attorney’s fees depend on the compensation they help clients recover for their injuries. In many cases, the client is awarded a settlement or favorable verdict, and the attorney receives a percentage of that award. Importantly, in cases where clients are not successfully compensated, their attorney does not get paid. Learn more by clicking the link below.

If you are involved in a car accident with injuries, anything you say to your insurance company or to other insurance companies involved can be used against you. Your phone calls can be recorded, and any admissions or statements made over the phone may be used against you at a later time to discredit your injuries and or claims. This can happen especially when your claim ends up being against your own insurance company, under the (UM) Uninsured motorist policy – when the other party happens to have no auto insurance. At first, you think that your auto insurance is your friend, but then they turn on you. We see that happen all the time.
For that reason, we advise that you contact our office immediately after an auto accident or injury so that we can properly report and discuss the claims on your behalf without jeopardizing your rights of recovery for your injuries and other damages. Learn more by clicking the link below.
