Figuring Out When You Need a Car Accident Lawyer
Watching a driver leave their lane and head towards your car will be a frightening experience. And if that driver strikes you and you are left with serious injuries, it’s often in your best interest to contact a skilled Visalia lawyer.
A more serious injury results in bigger hospital bills and causes you to lose more time at your place of work. It’s a double-whammy that may hit you as you’re trying to heal from a major accident.
To make things worse, the higher the damages, the more a car insurance company for the at-fault driver will try to avoid blame. They might twist the evidence to make it look like you caused the accident. Insurance adjusters may find doctors who will refute your physician’s prognosis for your injuries, saying they aren’t all that bad.
A lawyer can fight back on your behalf with evidence collected during a thorough investigation. Maison Law keeps the blame on the right driver and can often negotiate for much more for seriously injured victims.
Our lawyers can help with accident cases involving these types of injuries and more:
- A Traumatic Brain Injury, including a serious concussion
- A broken arm or leg, or a fracture of any kind
- A hip injury
- A knee injury
- A back or vertebral injury
- A neck injury, including a serious case of whiplash
- Facial lacerations or damaged teeth
Victims always have the right to file a claim themselves, and with a minor injury or an accident that just involves vehicle damage, they are often fine doing so. But when a car accident involves a serious injury, a lawyer can be a necessary protection when dealing with a giant, unhelpful car insurance company.
A Free Consultation with a Real Car Accident Attorney
You may still have questions about your case and whether a lawyer can help you earn more. There’s an easy way to get helpful information. Maison Law offers a free, confidential case review as a way to get more information to all Tulare County accident victims. If you can file your case yourself and come out just fine, we’ll tell you that.
If we can help you bring home more in support, you should know that you don’t have to worry about paying an attorney’s fee at such a difficult time. We aren’t paid unless we win your case for you. Then, our fee comes out of the settlement check insurers are forced to write for you.
Support for Drivers After a Car Accident
Occupants who are in cars when they get smashed head-on or side-swiped can end up in Kaweah Health Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. They may need help affording the best care available. Then they can require help in the months and years ahead as they continue with physical therapy, or perhaps have to learn how to live with a permanent disability.
If victims can prove that a driver left their lane and was at fault, they can seek help with their hospital costs and recovery expenses in a personal injury claim.
- Money to pay for every medical bill now and those expected in the months ahead.
- Lifelong support for a permanent physical disability. This would include money for medical equipment and home renovations. Victims may need help finding a new career if they can’t return to their former jobs.
- Support for permanent disfigurement. The physical and emotional hardship of having a very visible scar leftover from a scary accident.
- Money for long-term physical therapy. A victim’s injuries may require rehab treatment for months or years. This therapy may be necessary to help victims regain strength and regain control over a damaged limb. They may have to learn to walk normally again.
- Money to pay for travel for injured victims to get to doctors’ appointments and to visit out-of-area specialists. Travel can get expensive when victims can’t drive and may be on crutches or in wheelchairs.
- Support for the pain experienced. Victims can suffer extreme pain on the scene of an accident and then over the weeks of recovery. Chronic pain and the medication and therapy used to treat it should earn compensation.
Without any experience with injury claims, this may be all the support that victims know to ask for. But a skilled attorney would be demanding support for much more.
Victims should receive reimbursement for every paycheck they lose while out of work.
The emotional trauma that accident victims must experience must also increase the amount of settlement checks. The anxiety and depression that may arise with a difficult recovery should be compensated. The loss of enjoyment of life when victims can’t participate in certain family activities or hobbies must earn support.
Lane Drifting Accident Dangers
Heavy traffic on roads around Visalia can be dangerous enough to navigate. But when Tulare County drivers can’t show enough care to stay in their designated lanes, the chance for accidents skyrockets.
A truck driver behind the wheel of a semi can inch across the dotted lines of Highway 99 to knock you from a lane or even leave you underneath a tractor-trailer. A distracted morning commuter on Goshen Avenue may veer across a double yellow line to send you into a devastating head-on collision.
Head-on accidents are the most dangerous of any type of collision because the impact force is derived from the speeds of both cars involved, doubling the blunt-force trauma.
It’s always a risk on local roads. California’s Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) found that Tulare County was the scene of 127 head-on collisions involving injuries in 2025. Those accidents led to at least 9 deaths.
Reasons Drivers Leave Their Lanes
There’s never a good time for drivers to accidentally leave their lanes. This type of carelessness is hard for other drivers to anticipate and avoid.
These are just some of the reasons lane drifting impacts happen:
- Big rigs, and produce and livestock trucks that can barely fit in a lane, slamming into nearby cars.
- Drowsy or daydreaming drivers veering across yellow and white lines.
- Texting drivers not watching where their vehicles are headed.
- Drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol.
- Drivers making unsafe attempts to pass other vehicles.
These examples of poor driver judgment should leave motorists fully responsible for accidents. However, drivers can deny they were distracted. Visalia Police Officers may have no clues that the driver left a lane and could get it wrong on an accident report. Car insurance companies can try to twist the facts.
This is why it’s a good idea for accident victims to take photos at the scene of their collisions if it’s safe to do so. They can grab shots of the damage to vehicles and the markings left on the pavement. They should also get contact information from any witnesses.
An experienced Maison Law attorney can also bring in accident reconstruction teams to show exactly how a lane violation occurred.
