Accident Attorney
When you have been in an accident on the roadways, rails, waters or skies of Southern California, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries. The accident lawyers here at Krasney Law are experienced in this area and will advocate on your behalf to get the restitution you deserve. We handle cases involving a wide range of accident types.
Car Accidents
Automobile accidents happen on a daily basis, and the results can sometimes be deadly. At the very least, you may experience whiplash or other complications after the accident. If the other driver was at fault in the accident, we can help you get compensation for any medical bills for your injuries sustained in the accident, as well as additional payment for any ongoing pain and suffering.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riding a motorcycle is a great way to get around Southern California, giving you the chance to enjoy the natural beauty of the area as you go about your day. However, motorcycles and protective gear can’t do much to protect you in the event of a collision with another vehicle simply because other vehicles are so much larger. As a rider, it is likely that your injuries will be much more severe in an accident than they would for a person in a car, so a personal injury claim is even more important to help cover your medical costs.
Trucking Accidents
We see a lot of commercial trucks passing through Southern California, and their drivers can get into accidents just like the rest of us. Unfortunately, due to their large size and weight, commercial trucks can cause serious damage to other vehicles when they are involved in accidents. Not only that, but the injuries to the passengers of the other vehicles can be severe as well. Navigating trucking accidents is a bit more complicated than other types of accidents as you may have to deal with corporate insurance policies rather than individual ones. Rest assured that our team is up to the task.
Train Accidents
Although train travel isn’t as popular as it once was, many people still ride California’s trains on a regular basis. Train accidents are fairly uncommon but that doesn’t mean they can’t happen. If you are riding a train that gets into an accident, you may find that the train manufacturer, railway company and other involved parties try to push blame and liability off to the other parties, making it difficult to determine who should compensate you for your injuries. The Krasney Law team will ensure your case doesn’t slip through the cracks.
Aircraft Accidents
Hundreds of planes fly in and out of Southern California’s airports every day, and any one of them can get into an accident. Whether the accident occurs as a result of a complication in flight or before the plane even left the runway, you can claim compensation for your injuries. However, as with train accidents, it can be challenging to determine who is liable. Our team can handle this task for you. For us, it doesn’t matter who the compensation comes from as long as you get paid.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicycles are great for helping you get around while also reducing pollution and saving money. Of course, you’ll have to share the road with vehicle drivers, and that puts you at risk of getting into accidents with cars, trucks and SUVs on the road. Even if you ride safely, you can’t always account for the behavior of other drivers. Your injuries in an accident are likely to be extensive as drivers’ vehicles are much more powerful than simple bicycles. While you recover from your injuries, our accident attorneys will work tirelessly on your behalf.
Pedestrian Accidents
Walking is an ideal way to get around town while also getting in some exercise. If you live in a busy area, though, you could be at risk of getting hit by a vehicle while on your walk. As a pedestrian, you always have the right of way in California but drivers don’t necessarily abide by this law, or they could simply not be paying enough attention to the road. Regardless of the cause of the accident, you could be in for some serious injuries if you get hit by a car while walking as you won’t have any protection against the impact. Our accident lawyers can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Bus Accidents
Buses have long been a popular public transportation option, and countless Californians ride buses each day to get to work or to run daily errands. As with any other vehicle, buses can get into accidents with cars, commercial trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. Anyone involved in the accident can bring a personal injury lawsuit after a bus accident. You can also file a claim if you were a passenger on the bus at the time of the accident. An experienced accident attorney, like those here at Krasney Law, can help you obtain compensation for your injuries.
Boating Accidents
One of the best things about living in Southern California is that the region has easy access to beautiful beaches looking out over the Pacific Ocean. Not only that, but there are plenty of natural and man-made lakes around here as well. Boating is a popular pastime in the area but not all boaters are as skilled as others, leading to the potential for boating accidents. When people enjoy alcoholic beverages while boating, the risk of accidents is even higher. We treat these accident cases in a class of their own as the laws are different on the water than they are on dry land. If you’ve been in a boating accident, your next call should be to an accident attorney.

After you have been in an accident, your first step should always be to seek medical attention, even if you don’t think you are injured. Some injuries can take days after the accident to exhibit symptoms. Once you have seen your doctor, your next call should be to an accident attorney.
