Personal Injury Attorney.

The definition of a personal injury attorney never changes. Personal injury lawyers provide a necessary valuable service with legal representation to people claiming injury (either physically or psychologically) as a result of the negligence or carelessness of a person, company or another driver in a car accident.

The personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Michael Pines primarily deal with injury claims related to car accidents, but the scope of what a personal injury lawyer can handle is broad. As personal injury lawyers, we also deal with motorcycle accidents and various types of truck accidents (i.e. pick-up trucks, semi-trucks). In other cases, personal injury attorneys can handle include products liability lawsuits and medical malpractice lawsuits just to name a few.

Too often, people that are injured as a result of an auto accident wonder if they should hire a personal injury lawyer. The reality of the situation is that a personal injury attorney should be hired RIGHT AWAY. The reason for that makes a lot of sense.

For instance, if you give insurance agencies the chance to rush you into a settlement for less than what you deserve, you have therefore lost your only opportunity for justice against the negligent party. This is still possible even if you may not know the full extent of your injuries. Always remember, in a personal injury claim, you only get one chance for justice.

Why should I choose a personal injury lawyer? Experience makes a difference when filing a personal injury lawsuit.

[caption id="attachment_21715" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Photo Credit: The San Diego Union Tribune"][/caption] Last week, we reported on a car accident in San Diego that resulted out of alleged teen street racing. In new developments, the 18-year-old driver charged with the death of the two teenagers involved in the street racing has pleaded not guilty to vehicular manslaughter among four other charges according to reports at the San Diego Union Tribune. The news follows the earlier arrest of another 16-year-old driver that was taken into custody on similar charges. Just shortly after his arraignment, Michael Johnson, the 18-year-old driver of a Volvo S40, said, according to his attorney, that he is not the responsible party in the tragic San Diego accident fatalities that occurred April 4. Accident reports indicate that Johnson was returning from a spring break beach party in La Jolla when he was allegedly involved in a street racing contest with another teen driver – the unidentified 16-year-old driver of a Volkswagen Passat whose name has not been released since he is a minor. According to Deputy District Attorney Kristen Spieler, the two vehicles were zigzagging across lanes at speeds reaching up to a staggering 100 m.p.h. The 16-year-old driver in the Passat lost control over the vehicle, causing the car to flip over several times across multiple lanes of the road. Two passengers, Anthony Foreman, 18, and Jayli Campbell, 16, were thrown from the Passat and died at the scene of the accident. Two passengers survived the crash. Charlotte McQuillen, survived the accident although she suffered serious injury as a result of the collision including reports that say the teen will have to recover from traumatic brain injury. Anthoney Taylor, 16, also survived the crash although his injuries are unclear at this time. Johnson did not flee the scene of the accident according to police reports and cooperated with authorities once officers assessed the scene of the collision. The teen has no prior criminal record, although authorities say his vehicle was found containing a small amount of marijuana. Johnson is being charged with intoxicated driving, although his lawyer says there were no field sobriety tests to confirm the teen’s alleged intoxication. Teen driving: reminders for concerned parents Last week, we blogged on actions parents can take to prevent teen car accidents. Tips include:

Sign a parent-teen contract. Download your free contract now.
Enforcing the rules. Every teen driver needs to know that rules are there for a purpose, and when they are broken, consequences will follow.
Have a DUI backup plan. As most parents can attest, there are many instances when teen drivers run into problems that supersede their know-how and maturity. Drinking is one of those problems. In cases of emergency, your teen should have an open-door policy where they feel safe to call you when they need help – such in the case of drunk driving or driving while intoxicated.
