Why Trust Our Expert Auto Accident Lawyers?

Auto accidents can be life-changing events that result in serious injuries, emotional trauma, and financial burdens. When facing the aftermath of an auto wreck, hiring an experienced auto accident lawyer can be crucial in protecting your rights and securing the compensation you deserve. At Knapp Moss, we understand the complexities of California’s auto accident laws and are dedicated to guiding our clients through every step of the legal process.

Legal Expertise

California’s laws governing personal injury claims can be complicated. A knowledgeable lawyer can help you understand your rights, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure that all legal filings are handled correctly.

Maximizing Compensation

An experienced attorney can assess the full extent of your injuries and damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. This ensures that you pursue the maximum compensation available.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Insurance companies often try to minimize their payouts. A lawyer can protect you from lowball settlement offers and ensure that you receive fair compensation.

Proving Liability

Establishing fault in an auto accident is critical to winning your case. Your attorney will gather evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and expert testimony to prove the other party’s negligence.

Our Commitment to You

Types of Compensation

Common Causes of Auto Accidents

Aviation accidents can occur for various reasons, often involving multiple contributing factors. Some of the most common causes of aviation accidents include.

Distracted Driving

Texting, eating, or talking on the phone while driving is a leading cause of accidents. California has strict laws prohibiting the use of handheld devices while driving, but many drivers still engage in this dangerous behavior.

Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

Faulty aircraft parts can cause crashes. Identifying if defects, poor maintenance, or design flaws are to blame is crucial.

Speeding

Exceeding the speed limit reduces a driver’s ability to react in time to avoid a collision. Speeding is particularly dangerous in heavy traffic or adverse weather conditions.

Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Our experienced legal team will help ensure you receive all forms of compensation available for your specific case.

Medical Expenses

Coverage for all medical costs including emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical needs related to your accident.

Lost Wages

We pursue compensation for lost income, employment benefits, and diminished earning potential following your injury.

Pain and Suffering

You may be entitled to damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and decreased quality of life resulting from the incident.

Proven Results

In cases of extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, we pursue additional compensation to secure justice and deter future harm.

Essential Steps To Take After an Auto Accident

Aviation accidents are rare but devastating. Taking the right steps immediately after an incident is crucial to protecting your well-being, preserving critical evidence, and securing your legal rights.

Ensure Safety First

If possible, move your vehicle to a safe location and check for injuries. Call emergency services to report the accident and seek medical attention, even if you don’t think you’ve been injured.

Document the Accident Scene

Take photos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Collect contact information from witnesses and make a note of important details such as the time and location of the accident.

File A Police Reporet

A police report provides an official record of the accident, which can be critical in proving liability later. Be sure to get a copy of the report for your records.

Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine, it’s essential to get checked by a medical professional. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal bleeding, may not show symptoms immediately but can have long-term consequences.
