Paradox"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">Do you want to know what makes Los Angeles the coolest city in North America?\u00a0 Nothing is ever your fault.\u00a0 Or anyone else\u2019s fault, for that matter.\u00a0 Did you drive drunk and go the wrong direction down a one way street, only to hit someone?\u00a0 It\u2019s their fault for not having seen you first and moving out of the way.\u00a0 Did you crash into someone because you were you too busy texting your friend to pay attention to the road?\u00a0 Oh well, it\u2019s either your friend\u2019s fault for texting you while you were driving or better yet, the other driver\u2019s fault for assuming you were actually watching the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">Yes, my post oozes for sarcasm, which definitely can go over a lot of people\u2019s heads since here on the west coast we don\u2019t speak \u201csarcasm\u201d.\u00a0 But yes, in our area of law, we\u2019ve seen every excuse in the book from reckless and negligent drivers who injure our clients.\u00a0 While I\u2019ve grown used to the nonsensical excuses these offending drivers give for having almost killed some of our clients, what surprises me more these days is how their insurance adjusters try to justify their behaviors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">Recently we had a case where one of my clients was stopped on Ventura Blvd., as the car ahead of her was reversing to parallel park into a space at the side of the road.\u00a0 She had been stopped for a good 10 seconds so there was nothing abrupt about the incident.\u00a0 Another girl came along and rear-ended her at full speed, hard.\u00a0 Her lack of attempt to even slow down illustrated she had not been paying any attention to the road.\u00a0 The offending driver agreed it was her fault, and gave my client only her phone number.\u00a0 My client was quite shaken up and in her haze did not force the issue of getting the insurance info on the spot, thinking the other girl would be true to her word of agreeing to exchange over the phone.\u00a0 Bad choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">As happens quite regularly here in Los Angeles, the offending driver goes home, probably smokes some (more) weed, and then decides to change their tune.\u00a0 \u201cWasn\u2019t my fault!\u201d\u00a0 In the above example, the offending party refused to answer her phone after the accident.\u00a0 She ended up returning one text, but then wouldn\u2019t give her information. While my client ended up sustaining injuries, after about a week it was clear the other girl was not going to cooperate. Fortunately, we helped our client contact the local police, filed a police report, and had the officer at the station contact the girl in question.\u00a0 Funny how she was suddenly talking after the police contacted her!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">You can guess what happened next.\u00a0 Offending girl is now scared and finally ends up suddenly contacting my client via phone and text, complaining that she was going to call her back eventually and she was angry the police got involved.\u00a0 We finally opened a claim with her insurance company and you can guess where this is headed \u2013 offending girl now tells her insurance company that our client reversed into her and that it is our client\u2019s fault.\u00a0 Welcome to LA where nothing is anyone\u2019s fault!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">Fortunately everything worked out fine and we were able to illustrate the facts about what a massive liar their insured was.\u00a0 While the adjuster put up a short-lived fight about how it was possible our client reversed into theirs, it became clear that no one reverses at 30mph on Ventura Blvd, nor does someone go to the police in an attempt to track down the poor person they hit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">What\u2019s the point of this post?\u00a0 Simple things can become very complicated when you\u2019re dealing with untruthful people.\u00a0 Given that this is a big city, there is definitely a survival of the fittest, and often survival of the dumbest, factor in play here.\u00a0 People will do and say anything to get out of assuming liability.\u00a0 As such, it is important that you follow procedures when you\u2019re involved in an accident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">Many at-fault parties will try to get you to bypass the system to avoid having their insurance premiums go up. An example of this is where you\u2019re rear ended, and the other person doesn\u2019t want you to go through insurance and report the accident.\u00a0 Instead, the at-fault driver wants to pay you directly for your vehicle damage out of his own pocket to avoid the insurance process. In some cases, this can work if you know who you are dealing with.\u00a0 More often than not however, this can be a bad idea.\u00a0 Once the other driver realizes the actual cost of fixing your car, the additional cost of covering your rental car, and the fact that you may have medical bills, that agreement to \u201cpay for everything\u201d may suddenly evaporate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">Things to think about.\u00a0 If you\u2019re ever in an accident and unsure about what to do, always exchange insurance information on the spot and document everything you can, including taking pictures of the cars with your cell phone, including the other driver\u2019s license plate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: black; font-family: verdana;\">Don\u2019t hesitate to call us if you have any questions or desire a free consultation.\u00a0 We are happy to help!\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #000000;\">888.552.6272<\/span><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to know what makes Los Angeles the coolest city in North America?\u00a0 Nothing is ever your fault.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[25],"class_list":["post-1064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-car-accident-lawyer-woodland-hills"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The L.A.
