Fremont Car Accidents

At 223,136 residents and growing, Fremont is the second largest city in Alameda County, the 16th most populated city in California. With a large Tesla plant, and Silicon Valley nearby, the city is a busy town with commuters going both to and from the city to get to work every day. Close to the large cities of Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose, it is understandable that even with diligent driving car accidents are not uncommon in and around Fremont on a daily basis.

Facts and Figures of Freemont Car Accidents

California’s Office of Traffic Safety’s most current statistics from 2016 show there were 1,131 victims killed and injured in Fremont traffic accidents and 10,809 in the whole of Alameda County. Heavy commuter traffic, closeness to many large Bay Area cities, dense population, and easy access to heavily trafficked freeways including the 880, the 680, the 101, and State Route 84 result in crowded roads around the clock and unexpected traffic jams that can happen at any moment. This type of environment requires constant vigilance from even the most experienced drivers to avoid accidents.

Though honest mistakes can happen and cause car accidents, the majority are due to driver error or negligent conduct while driving.  Common causes include:

  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
  • Distracted driving (most notably texting while driving);
  • Tailgating;
  • Speeding;
  • Improper turns; and
  • Unsafe or improper lane changes.

All these actions are attributed to numerous injury-causing car accidents in Fremont each year – many resulting in injuries and fatalities to motorists as well as pedestrians, motorcyclists, or bicyclists they may have struck in their accident.

Steps to Take Following a Fremont Car Accident

It’s important for you to take a few simple steps as soon as possible after involvement in a Fremont car accident – both for your health and the health of your potential legal claim.

  • Get medical attention as soon as possible to treat any obvious injuries and be evaluated for injuries you may not know you have sustained. Follow treatment plans and instructions exactly.
  • Speak to police about the accident and obtain a copy of the police accident report.
  • If you can, photograph the accident scene, collect the other driver’s information, and obtain contact information from anyone that witnessed the incident.
  • Keep copies of documents that can help establish liability, document your injuries, and substantiate harms (physical and otherwise) you suffered. This includes paystubs, receipts, bills, and reports from insurers, first responders, or if your accident involved a work vehicle, the company that owned the car.
  • Contact a Fremont personal injury attorney for advice and guidance. You may be able to recover for car accident injuries caused by someone else. Do not delay, because California has a 2-year statute of limitations from your injury date to file a claim or else lose your right to seek damages through the legal system.

Pursuing Your Legal Claims and Recovering for Your Injuries

Fremont car accident victims may recover compensation for their often-serious injuries or even death –

  • fractures,
  • whiplash,
  • head and brain injuries, and
  • neck and spinal cord trauma

can occur in car accidents. These injuries often amass huge medical bills for treatment, rehabilitation, and potentially lifelong aftercare.

Personal Injury Claims

Normally, a personal injury lawsuit is filed to seek damages from the responsible party. If you can satisfy the legal requirements needed to prove the driver was negligent, then they – often via their insurance company – are liable and must pay for your resulting injuries. Awards commonly compensate for medical expenses, property damage, and lost wages. They may also extend to less quantifiable harms such as emotional distress, scarring and disfigurement, and loss of consortium.

It can be difficult to establish negligence, thwart defenses the accused party raises, and prove damages; these obstacles are best tackled by a Fremont personal injury attorney with car accident experience.

Wrongful Death Claims

The untimely death of a loved one can turn your world upside down and throw you into extreme emotional and financial turmoil. Wrongful death claims can award you compensation from the responsible party for funeral expenses, medical bills, and lost earnings expected from your loved one. Though financial awards can’t bring them back, they can help you get your life back on track.

    See all FAQ

    How much is my personal injury case worth and will you guarantee success?

    The “value” of your case depends on many factors, such as the extent of your injury, the amount of your medical bills, and your condition after you have finished medical treatments. The calculation also factors in if you in any way contributed to or caused the incident. An attorney will never guarantee any outcome in your case; however, an experienced attorney can give you a fair assessment of the outcome of your case.

    How much does a personal injury attorney charge?

    Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis. Therefore your attorney will only get paid if you get paid. If no recovery is obtained there is no out of pocket cost from you. Most law firms work on a percentage based fee. They usually obtain 33.33% of your final award. Contingency-based cases are very beneficial because they provide access to the courts for those who can’t otherwise afford to pay attorneys fees and the costs of litigation. It also reduces frivolous lawsuits because attorneys will only litigate cases they think they will likely win.

    What should I do if I'm unsatisfied with my current personal injury attorney?

    If you are unhappy with your current attorney for any reason you have the option of changing your attorney. Once you obtain a new attorney he/she can handle the process of substituting out the previous attorney. Generally, it is a very simple process to do and there is no cost to you. However, your current attorney will likely need to split a portion of your award with your prior attorney according to the amount of work he/she has contributed to your claim prior to being substituted.
