Who is at fault when a car turns left in front of a motorcycle in Phoenix?

Of all the ways a driver can injure a motorcyclist, the left turn is the most common. The latest NHTSA data shows that in 46% of fatal crashes between a motorcycle and another vehicle, the car was turning left while the rider went straight. The physics are brutal. A motorcyclist has no hood and no airbags, so the body absorbs the hit against the side of the turning car.

Hit by an Electric Scooter in California: Can You Sue the Rider or the Company?

Rental scooters took over California in a few years. Bird launched in Santa Monica in fall 2017, before any city regulated them. Today Lime, Spin, and other micromobility services line nearly every corner from Venice to San Francisco. In one year, UCLA's Santa Monica ERs treated more scooter riders than cyclists.

Hit by a car while jaywalking in California: Can you still get compensation?

When a car hits a pedestrian outside a crosswalk, the insurer almost always says the same thing: it's your fault, you crossed the wrong way. Many injured people take that at face value. Jaywalking, they figure, means no payout.

Does Uber Insurance Cover You If an Uninsured Driver Hits You in Atlanta?

An Uber passenger is almost never at fault. Yet that passenger ends up holding the medical bills when the at-fault driver has no insurance. So who pays when that wreck happens on the Downtown Connector at rush hour?

Who Pays for a Multi-Car Pileup on the I-10 in Phoenix?

The I-10 is the deadliest highway in Arizona. Where it crosses open desert between Phoenix and Tucson, summer haboobs roll in without warning and cut visibility to zero in seconds. Near Picacho Peak in October 2013, 19 vehicles piled into each other: three people died and more than a dozen were hurt. In March 2025, another dust-storm pileup near Tonopah killed four more and left cars burning on the freeway.

Truck Underride Accidents: Why They Happen and How to Prove Negligence

Of all the ways a truck crash can end, underride is the deadliest. A car slides beneath the tractor-trailer and the roof shears off against the edge of the deck. Airbags and crumple zones do nothing here: they're built for bumper-to-bumper impact, but the windshield hits the steel first. Even a top crash-test rating can't protect the driver.

Long-term effects of electrical shock injuries: What compensation can you claim?

After an electric shock, a lot of workers just get up, brush themselves off, and say they're fine. Barely a mark. They never lost consciousness, and all they want is to get back on the clock. The problem is that electricity rarely leaves its real damage where you can see it.

Atlanta construction worker injuries: Can you sue a third party?

After a construction injury, workers' compensation pays your medical bills and part of your wages. Then it stops. Not a dollar for pain and suffering, not your full lost income, nothing for the career you may never get back. For a worker with a broken spine, that isn't close to enough.

Federal Hours of Service (HOS) regulations: How truck driver fatigue laws win your case

Traffic on I-285 stacks up before an interchange, and you brake with everyone else. Behind you sits a loaded tractor-trailer, a commercial motor vehicle pushing 80,000 pounds, and its brake lights never come on. The driver is 16 hours into his day, racing to hit a delivery window. At that weight, the people in the passenger car barely stand a chance.

Pedestrian wrongful death settlements in Los Angeles: A legal guide

A single call from a hospital or a police officer can upend everything. A moment ago your loved one was just walking down the sidewalk. Now the family is sitting in the Cedars-Sinai waiting room, and no one is explaining what comes next. Los Angeles is one of the deadliest cities in the country for people on foot. According to LADOT, roughly 132 pedestrians are killed here every year, and they account for as much as 38% of everyone killed or severely injured on city streets, even though walking makes up just 3% of commute trips. The deadliest corridors are known by name, from Vermont Avenue to Figueroa Street. Behind each number is a family suddenly forced to learn its rights.

Uninsured motorist coverage in Arizona: What happens if the other driver has no insurance?

The crash on I-10 left you with a broken wrist and an emergency room bill. The other driver admitted fault at the scene. A week later comes the catch: he has no insurance at all, and there’s nothing to collect. In Arizona, that’s hardly unusual. The Insurance Research Council puts the state’s uninsured rate at 10.6%, and across the country, one in three drivers is either uninsured or underinsured. Set against 122,247 crashes in Arizona that same year, the odds of running into one are very real. This is the exact situation uninsured motorist coverage in Arizona was built for.

Calculating damages in Georgia: Punitive vs. compensatory in a truck accident case

A wreck with an 18-wheeler rarely ends with a dented bumper. A loaded tractor-trailer weighs up to 80,000 pounds, a passenger car only about 4,000, and at that kind of mismatch the driver of the sedan almost always loses to physics. In 2023, 188 people died in large-truck crashes in Georgia, and 135 of them were riding in other vehicles, not the truck

How We Secured a $2 Million Settlement in a Trucking Case Every Other Lawyer Refused to Take

By the time this case reached us, several lawyers had already turned the client away. The rest called us crazy for even trying. There was no winning it, they said, let alone landing a large settlement. Our client was a man in his eighties who lost his leg under the wheels of a semi-truck. The police cited him, not the trucker. And the only eyewitness to the crash was the local chief of police, whose account pointed straight at our client. Two and a half years later, we closed the case with a $2,000,000 settlement.

Spaghetti Junction truck accidents: liability in Atlanta's high-density freight hubs

Common motorcycle accidents in Atlanta: how to prove you weren't at fault
