Los Angeles County Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer

Attorneys for Collisions Involving Cars, Trucks, Buses, Motorcycles, and Pedestrians in Glendale and Los Angeles

Collisions involving motor vehicles are some of the most common causes of serious injuries in the United States. People spend a significant amount of time on or near the roads, and even when a person takes all of the proper safety precautions, they may be involved in an accident through no fault of their own. In many cases, victims of these types of collisions will be unsure about their options, but with the help of a skilled personal injury lawyer, they can identify the driver or other parties who were liable for an accident and pursue the financial compensation they need.

The attorneys of Tahmazian Law Firm, P.C. understand how serious auto accidents can be, and we are dedicated to providing our clients with legal help during what may be one of the most difficult times in their lives. Following a motor vehicle collision, the costs of medical treatment can add up quickly, and if a person's injuries have limited their ability to work, they may struggle to provide for their family and cover their daily expenses. On top of all of this, a person's vehicle may require costly repairs, and a family may experience increased transportation costs. We can help victims take the correct legal action to ensure that all of these damages will be addressed, giving them the resources they need as they make a recovery.

Legal Help With Multiple Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents

In many cases, a driver or another party will be responsible for a collision, and this party may be required to provide compensation to address the damages suffered by a victim. However, even if a victim was partially at fault for an accident, they can still pursue compensation, and the amount of damages they receive will be reduced by their own percentage of fault.

Our attorneys assist with a wide variety of motor vehicle injury cases, including:

• Car accidents - Collisions may be caused by multiple forms of driver negligence, including violations of traffic laws, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or distracted driving. Other parties may also be at fault in accidents involving dangerous roads or defective auto parts.
• Truck accidents - Commercial vehicles are much larger than passenger cars and trucks, and accidents involving these vehicles can result in serious injuries for victims. Truck accidents may be caused by drivers who are fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, equipment failure, or unsecured or falling cargo.
• Motorcycle accidents - Motorcyclists are likely to be seriously injured in a collision due to their lack of protection. Because motorcycles are smaller than other vehicles, drivers may not notice them, and accidents may occur because of traffic violations, distracted driving, or other forms of negligence.
• Uber/Lyft accidents - Collisions involving rideshare drivers can be complicated, and companies such as Uber and Lyft may attempt to avoid liability by claiming that since drivers are considered independent contractors, they are not actually the employer of a driver who caused an accident.
• Bus/train accidents - Collisions involving public transportation, privately-operated buses, or freight trains may be caused by improperly trained drivers or malfunctioning equipment. Victims of accidents involving vehicles operated by government organizations such as Metro, Metrolink, or Amtrak will need to meet certain requirements when pursuing compensation.
• Pedestrian accidents - People on foot can be seriously injured or killed if they are struck by a motor vehicle, and most of the time, these collisions occur because of driver negligence.
• Bicycle accidents - While drivers are required to share the road with bicyclists, they may cause collisions by driving too close to bicycles or refusing to respect a bicyclist's right-of-way. Bicyclists may also be injured by "dooring," which occurs when a person opens their vehicle's door into the path of a bicycle.
