Common Types of Car Accidents We Handle

Every crash is unique, but patterns emerge. We regularly help clients hurt in:

Rear‑End Collisions

Often caused by distracted or tailgating drivers; may result in whiplash, disc injuries and concussions.

T‑Bone / Side‑Impact Crashes

Intersection wrecks that can cause catastrophic pelvic or spinal damage.

Head‑On Collisions

Among the deadliest crash types; we aggressively pursue maximum damages for wrongful‑death and severe‑injury victims.

Hit‑and‑Run Accidents

If the at‑fault driver fled, we can pursue your UM/UIM benefits and help law enforcement locate the culprit.

Rollover & Roof‑Crush Incidents

Including SUV and truck rollovers often linked to design or stability defects.

Collisions Caused by Hazardous Roads

Potholes, poor lighting or missing guardrails? We investigate and may hold Caltrans or local agencies accountable.

What to Do Immediately After a Car Accident in California

  1. Get to safety & call 911. Police reports can be pivotal evidence.
  2. Seek medical care promptly. Some injuries surface hours or days later; fast documentation links them to the crash.
  3. Document the scene. Photos, dash‑cam footage and witness contacts strengthen your claim.
  4. Notify your insurer, but do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's carrier before speaking with a lawyer.
  5. Call Torem & Associates 24/7 at (888) 500‑5000. Early legal guidance protects your rights.

Proving Negligence & Liability

To win compensation, we must establish the four elements of negligence:

    1. Duty of Care - every driver must operate their vehicle safely.

 

    1. Breach - the at‑fault party violated that duty (e.g., texting, speeding).

 

    1. Causation - the breach directly caused the crash and your injuries.

 

    1. Damages - you suffered verifiable losses.

 

Key Evidence We Gather:

  • Crash‑scene photographs & video
  • Event data recorder (EDR) downloads
  • Witness statements & 911 audio
  • Cell‑phone & vehicle‑telemetry logs
  • Medical and employment records

Damages You May Recover

Economic Damages

  • Past & future medical bills
  • Lost wages & diminished earning capacity
  • Property damage (vehicle replacement, rental car, personal items)

Non‑Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress & post‑traumatic stress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Punitive Damages (When Available)

Additional awards aimed at punishing especially reckless conduct, such as drunk or hit‑and‑run driving.

California Car Accident Statistics (2024)

According to the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), Fresno County saw 6,742 injury crashes and 157 fatalities last year-averaging more than 18 wrecks a day. Statewide, distracted driving contributed to 28% of all crashes.

Fatal and Serious Injury Crashes

California's SWITRS data, as provided by UC Berkeley's TIMS system, reveal an average of tens of thousands of fatal or serious injury (FSI) crashes over recent years. Users can explore detailed yearly trends-broken down by severity, cause (e.g., alcohol, speeding, distraction), and road user type such as pedestrians, cyclists, or unrestrained passengers. Notably, more than 30 % of FSI crashes during the past five years involved speeding, a key driver in elevating crash severity. Additionally, TIMS enables comparisons across California's counties and cities, showing sustained roadway danger even as data updates quarterly. These insights underline the urgent call for stronger safety countermeasures to reduce California's high average of fatal and serious-injury collisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

California's statute of limitations is generally two years from the crash date (Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 335.1). Claims against government entities have much shorter deadlines-often 6 months.
