Various Types of Auto Accidents

An auto accident can occur at any place and at any time. A catastrophic accident can happen; despite protective practices drivers ensue in order to diminish the chances of an accident. An auto accident can happen in a high-speed highway, during rush hour, neighborhood streets, and even in parking lots. The way in which an auto accident happens can have different consequences for all parties involved.

If you have been the victim of an auto accident, you should consider speaking to an experienced auto accident attorney. An attorney with the right experience can help you to determine who was the party at fault, as well as estimate the damage of the property, and finally assess the gravity of both mental and physical injuries. If you have been the victim of an auto accident, an attorney can champion on your behalf and assist you in obtaining restitution for your losses.

The Most Common Forms of Auto Accidents

As previously mentioned, auto accidents can happen in just about any location. The object of which a vehicle could collide with can also differ. For instance, a vehicle can collide with other motored vehicles and buildings or other like structures. A motored vehicle could also collide with pedestrians. All of these types of collisions could quickly result in catastrophic injuries. The following is a limited list of some of the most common forms of auto accidents.

Head On Collision- Head on collisions transpire when the front ends of two cars collide with one another, these accidents will typically have fatal results.

Rear End Collision- Rear end collisions occur when there is one vehicle that crashes into the vehicle in front of it. This type traffic accident could be the result of a sudden stop by the vehicle or vehicles in front, generally, the worst injuries happen to the passengers of the front vehicle. One of the most common injuries involve whiplash. Whiplash can happen even if the speeds of both vehicles involved was not excessive, Rear end collisions are almost always the fault of the vehicle in the back, even if the front car was the one who made the sudden stop. An exception to this, however, is a vehicle that reversed and thus collided with the vehicle behind it.

Sideswipe Collision- A sideswipe collision happened when two parallel vehicles collide and swipe one another, If both parties involved maintain control of the vehicles, it is likely that the resulting auto body damage will be minimal.

Side Impact Collision- Side impact collisions are commonly referred to as a T-bone collision. A side impact collision will typically occur when a vehicle is impacted on either side of its body by the front or rear of another car, typical damages involve severe auto body damages, depending on the speed involved by the impacting car, passenger injuries could have severe consequences and could also result in death.

Rollover-A car rollover can happen when a car flips to its roof or side. These types of accidents can happen when a car has made a sharp turn while on a high speed. Every car is susceptible to a rollover but sport utility vehicles are at the greatest risk due to their height.

Single Auto Collision- A single auto collision can happen when there is only one car involved in the incident. Generally, the vehicle involved will strike another object such as a tree, a fire hydrant, or a building, unfortunately, these types of collisions usually result in the injury of a bystander.

Multi-auto Collision- These forms of collisions will involve several cars in what is also commonly referred to as a pile-up, generally, these types of incidents will occur in highways where most drivers are traveling at high speeds.

Wow! I can't say enough good things about the Law Offices of Justin King. Attitude starts at the top, & this firm is top tier. They represented me (& yes we won!) for an injury I sustained while riding my motorcycle westbound on the 10. Someone changed lanes without looking, which resulted in a knee injury, a lot of physical therapy, & a totaled motorcycle. I wasn't sure what to do or if this were even something worth pursuing. I found Justin's webpage & sent a quick message to him on a Saturday night then thought nothing of it. My first call from Justin was Sunday morning. I was immediately impressed. After hearing a bit of my story & asking a few questions I was ready to have Justin represent me. My first question was "How much do I need to come up with to get this started? Justin replied, you don't owe anything until we win. Not unless, until. That set the tone of the next 2 years of my life. As your case progresses it'll require work from you & a whole team working to represent you. Staci will call & let you know she's emailing documents that require signatures; Garrett will call to ask for details they need to understand & yes, he will call to remind you that you forgot to sign a document 3 days earlier. These are great people who genuinely care. They will take time to understand your needs & they communicate every step of the way. If you are injured, you need to call Justin & his team right away. You will not be disappointed!Google only allows 5 stars, but these guys deserve 10!

I was involved in my first big automobile accident last year, in Yorba Linda. I was a bit overwhelmed as you can imagine. Friends suggested that I hire an attorney to handle my case and I was not quite sure how to proceed. I was very fortunate when I was referred to Justin King’s office.I met with Mr. King and found him to be very personable and he listened to my concerns. I felt very comfortable and confident that he would help me in getting a fair outcome to my case.I want to also thank Garrett Tuckerman for all he did in keeping me updated with everything going on with my case and for being there whenever I had any questions or concerns. I also want to mention Leoni Barrera who was always pleasant and supportive when I called.I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King for your personal injury needs.

Last July I was struck by a falling case of liquor at Total Wine in Rancho Cucamonga which led to a slip and fall. My friends and family urged me to contact a lawyer after discovering I needed surgery to repair my broken wrist. A friend found Justin King on Google. Justin was compassionate, accessible, and took charge from the very first meeting. He was able to obtain the surveillance video capturing the entire incident, and made an appointment for me to see a prominent neurologist after the video showed the case struck the front of my head. The entire staff at The Law Offices of Justin H. King were very easy to work with, and I always felt like my case was getting personal attention. Thank you Garrett, Staci, and Leoni! My case went to mediation and settled for more than 3x what they originally offered. If you have been injured in an accident, I highly recommend The Law Offices of Justin H. King.

They kept us updated and we were reassured that we were in good hands. I want to also express my gratitude to Garrett for being so empathic and supportive through the ups and downs that comes with a case. We are so blessed to have had them handle our case. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a professional and dependable office. Thank you again Justin King Office!!!

I went from feeling like a basket case from all the stress to feeling calm and collected after talking to Justin. He is a phenomenal personal injury lawyer and is a truly calming and reassuring presence. This firm helped me in ways I can't even adequately put into words, other than to say Thank You, Justin, to you and your awesome team.

After an auto accident, I felt really nervous calling an attorney because I had never worked with one before. But from the first conversation I had with Jessica, I felt so at ease. Justin then called me and was so easy going and we had a nice conversation too. The entire staff took great care of me and I am very happy.

I was in a car accident that was not my fault two years ago. A friend of mine had a family member who had been helped in the past by Justin King, and they suggested I call him. I'm so glad I did! Justin and his team took great care of my situation and got a great settlement for me. I highly recommend them if you have been in an accident. You will be very happy with what this firm.

When I needed a lawyer following a car accident on the Interstate 15 Freeway in Rancho Cucamonga, Justin King, and his team were there for me. I appreciated how his entire staff always seemed happy to answer my questions and were so good about returning all my phone calls and emails. I could tell this firm has immense experience in helping people get their life back after an unfortunate car crash. I was so happy with the outcome of my case and the results Justin obtained from the insurance company on my behalf. I have recommended their office to all my family members and neighbors. I hope you never need to call them. But if you need the best car accident lawyers, I can vouch that they are excellent.
