Staying Safe on our Streets

We at the Law Offices of Burg and Brock try to stay abreast of all news in the world of personal injury. One bit of news that reached our radar is that in downtown Los Angeles, city officials are modifying intersections in order to give pedestrians an extra four-second window of crossing time. Now, it goes without saying that in Los Angeles, a city that depends on car culture, pedestrian-vehicle collisions are an unfortunate reality. As a Los Angeles personal injury attorney firm, we can safely say that the city deserves praise for taking any such measure to reduce the number of collisions and near-collisions in these congested sectors, especially if pedestrians are involved. All too often, a distracted, aggressive, or otherwise intoxicated driver makes a right turn too hastily, and the effects can be tragic.

In the event that you or a loved one has been involved in such an incident, it may be in your best interested to consult a vehicle accident lawyer to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. If the offending driver can be determined to be negligent in a court of law, you may stand a chance of winning such a case. Of course, only a lawyer can offer definitive information on these circumstances. Nonetheless, we at the Law Offices of Burg and Brock are a compassion team of personal injury attorneys who are here to help.
