California is one of the states with busy freeways and streets, always with pedestrians and thousands of vehicles. This busy nature accompanied by other factors like road conditions, higher negligence rate, and high speed makes accidents almost unavoidable. Being in a vehicle accident is devastating. The impact is most likely to leave you with severe injuries. Things will be even more challenging for you since right after the crash, you need to gather proof that will help you obtain compensation and at the same time protect yourself. At this time, you need help with the process to recover damages, and we are readily available to do so.

Contact us as soon as the accident happens. We will be with you every step of the way. If the insurance provider tries suppressing your claim, we will be by your side to defend you. We will fight for what you deserve—just compensation. As far as personal injuries are concerned, we treat every case seriously. Regardless of what kind of auto crash you have been in (bus, car, or truck accident), we’ll handle your case from the beginning to the end.

Slip and fall accidents occur when you’re about your daily duties. They’re one of the most prevalent personal injury causes. These accidents primarily occur because of poor upkeep or negligence of public spaces and walkways. They could also happen at the workplace due to slippery floors, wet paint or water on the floor, improperly stored materials, etc.

Based on how and where you slip and fall, you can sustain minor or severe injuries that will need extensive and expensive treatment. You might be eligible for compensation if the negligence of someone else— a colleague or property owner— prompted the accident. Our lawyers are on standby to accord you legal advice and counsel then fight to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Motorcycles have become a popular means of transport over the years. They use less gas, and their maneuverability is higher than that of cars. On the same note, motorcycle-related crashes have increased. Every year in California, over 4,500 motorcycle crashes cause death or severe injuries. These collisions are caused by, among other causes:

• Motorists failing to yield the right-of-way to motorcyclists.
• Motorists of larger autos failing to see motorcyclists.
• Mechanical defects on motorcycles.
• Potholes and uneven roads can affect motorcycle riders since they must balance on two wheels rather than four.
• Fatigues, distracted, or drunk-driving of both motorcyclists and drivers.

The injuries a motorcycle sustains in a crash can be more severe than those a motorist or passenger would suffer. For one, motorcyclists don’t have airbags, seatbelts, and shields of plastic, metal, or glass protecting them. Mostly, a motorcyclist is thrown off his/her motorcycle when an accident happens. Also, most times, motorcyclists are blamed for accidents they haven’t even caused.

Working with a skilled motorcycle accident personal injury attorney could help clear the air. Our lawyers understand that the physical, psychological, and financial damage suffered in a motorcycle accident can have devastating effects, and they will fight aggressively to support you in your pursuit of justice as you have enough time to recover.

Crossing the streets is part of a pedestrian’s day-to-day life. However, very few of these pedestrians give a second thought to the lurking danger; thus, pedestrian accidents are quite prevalent in Long Beach. A car weighs more than two tons on average. This explains why pedestrians sustain broken bones, spine injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputated limbs, internal injuries, and permanent disfigurement after being in a crash involving a vehicle. Fatalities are also common. Top pedestrian accident causes include distracted driving, drunk driving, running a red light or stop sign, turning without watching out for pedestrians, and failure to yield the right-of-way.

Many of these accidents can be avoided, but pedestrians remain exposed to negligent motorists. If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian-related accident, you may be able to recover damages for the losses the injuries have caused you. At Overett Group Attorneys, we know the painful and stressful experience you’re going through, and nothing gives us pleasure than to help you seek justice for your suffering. It isn’t simple, but we may help protect the well-being of both you and your family.

Dealing with the death of your loved one is never easy. It’s even more painful when the demise is premature and is caused by a stranger’s negligent acts. And if the liable party is refusing to own up their mistakes, it hurts even more, perhaps since it won’t make sense to you. Is the responsible party trying to blame the dead because they can’t give their story? Is he/she striking a deal to part with a lesser amount in compensation?

When you are grieving, you barely have time to investigate and answer these questions. That’s why you should let a better-placed person— a lawyer— handle all the investigations and the entire case for you. You should not have to grieve and at the same time deal with how to settle all the financial costs and losses. At Overett Group Attorneys, we understand that the wrongful death of your loved one can cause significant emotional and financial turmoil. We’ll treat you and your family with the utmost compassion and address your legal problems. We’re always to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for losing your loved one. And even though no amount of money can fill the gap your loved one left, it will make you feel relatively better knowing you don’t have to worry much about funeral expenses and burial expenses.

It’s worth remembering that only particular parties qualify to bring a wrongful death claim per California personal injury law. They include the domestic partner, children, and spouse of the dead. If any of these parties don’t exist, anyone entitled to the deceased’s property can bring a lawsuit, including the decedent’s parents and siblings.
