Aggressive California Injury Lawyer Fights for Victims of Reckless Drivers

California firm seeks payment for people hurt in auto accidents

Driving is not a right, but a privilege that is often abused. When a motorist operates their vehicle in a reckless manner, the result might be a serious, or even fatal, injury. If you were struck by a reckless driver, Willoughby Law Firm, Inc. can help you pursue a fair financial result. Representing victims throughout the California, I investigate the circumstances that led to your crash and determine if careless behaviors such as speeding, weaving or driving while distracted contributed to your collision. From there, I will work to secure the maximum amount for you in a verdict or settlement.

Attorney handles cases stemming from speeding and aggressive behavior

Dangerous driving can stem from intentional conduct, such as street racing, or a negligent failure to pay proper attention to the road. Whatever led to the accident, I will work tirelessly to demonstrate who caused the collision and how much harm it has done. Types of reckless driving that can cause injury include:

• Speeding — Drivers who ignore speed limits create a serious risk. The odds of an accident increase as a car accelerates and the potential damage becomes more severe at higher speeds.
• Driving with a drug or alcohol impairment — Everyone is aware of the effect that alcohol or drugs can have on a vehicle operator. However, it is important to remember that even if someone is not charged with a criminal offense, there might be evidence that drinking, prescription medication or a controlled substance might have precipitated the reckless driving.
• Unsafe lane switching and tailgating — A motorist who weaves between lanes disconcerts other drivers and increases the likelihood of an accident. Tailgating cuts down on someone’s ability to stop suddenly, resulting in numerous rear-end collisions.
• Distracted driving — Cell phones, eating in the car and sophisticated dashboard displays frequently take a driver’s focus away from the road, possibly leading to erratic vehicle operation.
• Aggressive road behavior — No one should ever let road rage or urgency to reach their destination compromise safety behind the wheel. Cutting off cars and taking actions to harass other drivers can have disastrous consequences.

If you’ve been injured or lost a lost a loved one because someone else was driving recklessly, my firm can represent you in litigation and insurance claims to help you collect reimbursement for medical bills, lost income, vehicle repairs and other damages available under the law.
