I was very concerned about the Mom and 3 kids injured in a Las Flores intersection recently when a man ran a red light, slamming into the family’s minivan on Oso Parkway. The accident happened at 8:30 am on a Friday morning. Both drivers and the three children were transported to Mission Hospital. The driver of the car responsible for the car accident claimed to be fatigued, but it is not clear if texting or other cell phone use was another factor in the accident.
Accidents at an intersection are one of the most common causes of a motor vehicle accident in Mission Viejo and across Orange County. As in this accident, injuries associated with a t-bone or side impact can be quite severe. The forces associated with a side impact at speed will move the body in multiple directions in fractions of a second. Impact with the side supports of the vehicle, windows or even safety restraints can result in head injury, broken bones, damage to the neck or spine and other serious injuries. It is important to contact an experienced Mission Viejo personal injury attorney to protect your rights and ensure you receive the best possible outcome for your injury claims.
The insurance adjuster for the responsible driver will contact you quite soon after a car accident. They will ask for a lot of information, often including you to describe what happened and the extent of your injuries “in your own words.” My name is Rivers Morrell and after more than 40 years of experience as a personal injury attorney (including 20 years representing the insurance companies themselves) I can tell you it is absolutely not in your interests to speak with insurance representatives before contacting our office for a free consultation at (949)305-1400.
The insurance adjuster may seem to be quite personable, and their requests may seem quite reasonable. However, this is a highly skilled and trained professional who has one job: get you to settle your injury claim for the lowest possible amount as quickly as possible after your accident. This is not in your interest.
We hope the Mom and 3 kids injured in a Las Flores intersection as well as the driver responsible for the accident are recovering from their injuries.
