Why Do Car Accidents Happen?
Referring to a car accident as an "accident" can sometimes be misleading. The majority of crashes occur due to preventable mistakes made by drivers. It is not truly an accident when a driver chooses to act negligently behind the wheel.
Our Bakersfield car accident attorneys begin by investigating the cause of the accident. Our goal is to demonstrate that you are not at fault, placing 100% of the liability on the other driver. By establishing a liability of 0% on your part, you can demand the full amount of compensation owed to you, rather than a reduced amount. We will fight to ensure that your liability remains as low as possible.
Seek Medical Attention After a Crash
It is crucial to see a medical professional as soon as possible after a car accident, even if you do not feel any immediate injuries. Some injuries may not become apparent until hours or even days later due to their subtle nature and the adrenaline rush experienced during the crash. A medical examination can identify underlying issues like whiplash or head and back injuries.
Seeing a doctor on the same day as the accident will also strengthen your claim by creating a record of your injuries. If the insurance company tries to dispute the severity of your injuries or questions the legitimacy of the accident, your medical record will serve as evidence of when and why you were injured.
We'll make sure your claim is filed quickly and accurately.

Common Types of Negligence in a Car Accident
Common forms of negligence that cause car accidents include:
- Drunk driving: Intoxicated drivers pose a significant threat to road safety. Even a single drink impairs a driver's ability to operate a vehicle safely, defensively, and responsibly.
- Distracted driving: The use of smartphones while driving has become alarmingly common and dangerous. Checking a text message while traveling at high speeds can cause the driver to operate the vehicle "blindly" for a distance of 300 feet or more.
- Reckless driving: Everyday recklessness and negligence are also major contributors to car accidents. Speeding, tailgating, and unsafe lane changes are examples of common reckless driving behaviors.
We also handle auto part defect cases for our clients. When a defect in an auto part causes a crash, such as a brake failure or a collapsing roof in a rollover, it is essential to hold the automaker accountable for the resulting damages. Taking on an automaker is no easy task, which is why it is crucial to have our car accident lawyers in Bakersfield by your side when pursuing such a claim.
Evidence to Support Your Car Accident Case
Proving negligence in a car accident case can be challenging. The driver who caused the accident will fight you every step of the way, and their insurance company will be against you as well. To strengthen your case and secure the compensation you deserve, it is essential to gather various forms of useful evidence. Our Bakersfield car accident attorneys are ready to step in and assist you.
Four types of helpful evidence in an average car accident case include:
- Dashcam footage: If you have dashcam footage capturing the accident, we will review it to determine the actions of the other driver. We can also investigate whether the other driver had a dashcam.
- Eyewitness testimonies: Third-party eyewitnesses who witnessed the crash from a different perspective may have valuable insights into what happened and why. We can interview eyewitnesses on your behalf to gather accounts that support your claim.
- Police reports: Official reports from trusted sources such as the police or other first responders can be challenging for an insurance company to refute. If the police were present at the scene of your accident, we will access their reports to bolster your case.
- Photographs: If you took pictures of the crash, injuries, or traffic conditions with your smartphone, these photographs can serve as valuable evidence to support your argument.

frequently asked questions
-
Can asbestos enter your home in other ways?
Asbestos fibers can cling to almost any surface and are difficult to remove. It is not uncommon for asbestos to stick to a worker’s shoes, jacket, and hair when they are on a jobsite that is using some form of asbestos. When they return home, the asbestos can attach to other materials in the house, where it endangers anyone living there.
-
Should my employer have given me a hard hat?
Hard hats are essential pieces of safety equipment to protect workers from falling objects. Most construction sites and industrial areas require workers to have a hard hat before entering or working. However, employers are not usually strictly required to give their workers hard hats, especially if those workers are independent contractors. Instead, at the entry of the jobsite, there should be safety information that informs workers what pieces of equipment they are expected to bring on their own, which usually includes a hard hat.

What makes objects fall?
Scientifically, gravity is what makes objects fall. The constant pull of the Earth’s enormous mass influences all falling objects at the same rate. In terms of workplace accidents, though, employer negligence tends to be what causes objects to fall and strike workers. Employers should enforce safety protocols that ensure no loose objects are kept above others. Workers also have a duty to try to prevent falling object accidents, though.
