Do I Need a Car Accident Lawyer?
A car crash on a busy road like Prosperity Avenue might leave you with some fender damage and perhaps a few scratches and bruises. If your accident isn’t too serious, you may not need the help of a lawyer. But if a reckless driver leaves you with serious injuries like a broken leg or a head injury, it becomes much more important to have a Tulare Car Accident Lawyer on your side.
The higher your medical bills go, the more an auto insurer will fight to avoid having to pay those invoices. They can cast doubt on what a police accident report says and blame you. Your Maison Law lawyer is your defense against these unfair strategies. Your lawyer gathers all evidence and uses it to build a strong case that insurance adjusters can’t deny. Your lawyer then demands the most for your injury possible and rejects settlement offers that don’t meet your needs.

Car Accident Dangers in Tulare
A day in Tulare may start with a drive to work or school along Tulare Avenue or Highway 99. These trips can give motorists a complete view of the hazards they must watch out for.
They’ll have to steer clear of drivers veering over the line while looking at an email on their phones. They’ll have to hope speeding drivers coming up behind them will see the red light and be able to stop in time to avoid a rear-end collision.
In Tulare, trucks from local farms, orchards, and ranches can also pose threats as they speed along.
These numerous risks show up in yearly city accident figures. Transportation officials report that in 2023, Tulare was the scene of 85 serious accidents that led to at least 10 tragic deaths. That was up slightly from 2022’s total of 79 accidents involving a serious injury.
If you are hurt in an accident caused by a careless driver, you can seek compensation, but that doesn’t mean car insurance companies will automatically provide help. Your Maison Law attorney will fully investigate your case and secure strong evidence to force insurance adjusters to accept complete blame.
Common Injuries Suffered in California Car Accidents
If someone’s reckless driving causes you to get in a wreck, the law allows you to seek support for your medical bills. But the support shouldn’t stop there.
A serious injury may leave you in need of additional surgeries and physical therapy weeks and months down the road.
At Maison Law, we know that each type of injury is unique, and everyone heals at their own pace. There are some injuries that never completely heal and victims should be able to count on support for as long as necessary.
These are just a few of the collision injuries that emergency room doctors treat most often:
- Traumatic brain injuries: From severe concussions to brain damage, head injuries can be devastating.
- Neck injuries: Thoracic Spine Injury (whiplash) disc nerve and ligament damage that can be debilitating and painful.
- Mid and lower back injuries: Lumbar injuries, lower back, sciatica, and disc damage can all come from a back injury.
- Fractures: From hairline to compound, fractures are common in car accidents and can cause great pain and temporary or permanent disability.
- Soft tissue injuries: muscles, tendons, and ligaments and significant pain with limited range of motion.
What Can I Seek Compensation for After a Tulare Accident?
After your accident, if you are left strong enough and it’s safe, you should consider collecting as much evidence as possible on the scene. You should take photos of the cars involved, the damage, and any visible injuries. You should get contact information from witnesses and exchange information with drivers if an officer doesn’t provide it to you.
Grabbing this evidence, before it’s cleaned up and cleared, can help give you the leverage to hold an auto insurance company fully accountable. They won’t be able to blame you for what happened as easily or talk you out of the support you need.
Your Maison Law representative will demand support for the hardships you’ve faced and the hardships that may continue into the future:
- Medical Bills
- EMS/Ambulance Fees
- Rehabilitation Bills
- Transportation to Treatment
- Money for car repairs or replacement
- Lost Time from Work
- Reduction of Future Wages from Disability
- Permanent Disability
- Pain and Suffering
- Mental/Emotional Anguish
- Loss of Companionship/Consortium
- Wrongful death support for the families of victims
