Types of Motor Vehicle Accident Cases We Handle
Motor vehicle accidents are not just statistics—they are life-altering events that can leave victims with medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. At Shamshoni Law Firm, we represent clients injured in a wide range of motor vehicle accidents:
Car Accidents
Car accidents are among Southern California's most common causes of personal injury claims. Whether it’s a fender-bender or a multi-car pileup, these incidents can cause serious injuries such as whiplash, fractures, and head trauma. Our team will investigate your accident thoroughly and pursue maximum compensation for your damages.
Truck Accidents
Due to the sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles, truck accidents are often catastrophic. These cases can be complex, involving multiple parties such as trucking companies, drivers, and vehicle manufacturers. We have extensive experience navigating these complexities to secure fair settlements and verdicts for our clients.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road, with little protection from the road and other vehicles in the event of a collision. These accidents can lead to much higher fatality and severe injury than the average car accident. Our firm understands the unique challenges these cases present and will work tirelessly to ensure your rights are protected.
Rideshare Accidents
Accidents involving rideshare services like Uber and Lyft add additional layers of complexity due to insurance coverage issues and the involvement of multiple parties. Determining liability often requires a thorough understanding of rideshare company policies, driver agreements, and applicable state laws. We’ll identify the liable parties, whether it’s the driver, the rideshare company, or another motorist, and navigate the claims process to ensure you are fully compensated.
Our team has extensive experience handling these unique cases and will fight to protect your rights every step of the way.
