Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyer

Los Angeles shouldn’t be a place where your dreams are shattered by a car accident.

If you’ve been involved in a collision on the bustling freeways or winding canyon roads, you’re likely facing a multitude of challenges – medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress.

Attorney Arie Shamulian understands the complexities of navigating a car accident case in LA and the immense burden you face.

He can help you pursue justice and compensation to get back on your feet.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Los Angeles

LA’s vast road network and diverse driving conditions can lead to various types of accidents.

Here are some leading causes:

  • Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or using GPS navigation systems can divert a driver’s attention, especially on congested freeways like the 405 or the 101.
  • Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit is a major concern on major thoroughfares and can be particularly dangerous on winding roads like Mulholland Drive. Speeding drivers have less reaction time and can cause severe collisions.
  • DUI/DWI: Driving under the influence is a serious threat on LA’s roads. Impaired drivers are a danger to themselves and everyone else.
  • Reckless Driving: Aggressive maneuvers, tailgating, and failing to yield at busy intersections can cause serious accidents.
  • Dangerous Road Conditions: Poor weather, potholes, or inadequate signage can contribute to accidents, especially on less-traveled roads or during heavy rain.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Los Angeles

The immediate aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming.

Here are some essential steps to take:

  • Ensure Safety: Check yourself and others involved for injuries. If necessary, call 911 for medical attention.
  • Move Vehicles if Possible: If your car is drivable and doesn’t block traffic, move it to a safe location on the shoulder.
  • Exchange Information: Exchange contact information and insurance details with all involved drivers.
  • Document the Scene: Take photos of the damage to your vehicle, the surrounding area, and any visible injuries. If possible, get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
  • Report the Accident: File an accident report with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) or the appropriate local law enforcement agency, even for minor accidents.
  • Seek Medical Attention: Get a medical evaluation, even if you don’t feel immediate pain. Injuries can sometimes take time to manifest.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Los Angeles?

California law allows certain individuals to file a wrongful death lawsuit if a loved one died due to another driver’s negligence.

Here’s a breakdown of who can file:

  • Spouses and domestic partners: If you were married to the deceased or in a domestic partnership, you have the legal right to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
  • Children: Biological, adopted, or stepchildren of the deceased can also file a wrongful death lawsuit.
  • Dependent parents or siblings: In some cases, even dependent parents or siblings of the deceased may be entitled to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This can be determined by factors such as whether the deceased provided financial support to the parents or siblings, or if the parents or siblings relied on the deceased for care and companionship.
