Victims Of Accidents Poway Personal Lawyers

During the recent foul weather, I’ve noticed accidents nearly every day of the week. Big or small, driving past, I always felt a tinge of sympathy, vicarious pain, and occasionally grief for those who experienced a life-altering or ending accident.
While personal injury lawyers get a bad reputation from the press and media, there are very few others who the victims of an accident can go to after getting into an accident. Insurance companies are perversely incentivized to try to shortchange you, and the other drivers on the road often don’t have the means to provide for the kind of care you’ll need.

That’s why we heavily recommend you find a personal injury attorney in the days directly after your accident, big or small. Any number of health issues can result from even a minor crash, and you need a representative of your interests to battle the leviathan of the insurance companies.
Here in San Diego, the firm we always end up coming back to for these unfortunate souls is Poway local team Villasenor Law Offices. Villasenor got their start working in the insurance industry, so they have the inside knowledge that can help guarantee a successful claim on your part.
In addition to their inside knowledge, the team has a rock solid reputation for fair dealing and conscientious attention to detail. Take a look at some of the many sterling reviews clients have left them over the years:

I recently hired Chris for his services, and was very pleased with the outcome. Chris and Vickie were great to work with and always quick to respond to my questions when needed. They made me feel very comfortable and were very helpful in guiding me through my issue every step of the way. I would definitely use them again if needed.

Over the last 10 years, Chris Villasenor has created several contracts for my company that protect me in case a dispute with a client or contractor crops up. He has also reviewed contracts from my potential clients or partners and made recommendations on ways they needed to be revised in order to protect my best interest. Chris was also very helpful and informative when my husband & I were faced with a real estate dispute while purchasing our current home. Chris is trustworthy, professional and a great legal resource in times of need AND he’s become my attorney of choice!

Chris is an excellent attorney… Pragmatic in his approach, but also very personable. I feel I was given wise counsel in negotiating a partnership exit strategy that protected my interests in a fair and measured way. His involvement brought me a sense of confidence. He listened to what I needed, explained my obligations, and suggested a clear path to resolution. I recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

If you need a San Diego law firm in your corner after experiencing an accident, Villasenor Law Offices is the only way to go. You have to be proactive, as every day you spend laid up after an accident is a day an insurance company is spending building a case against your claim.

The Need For Speed

The funny thing about fashion is how drastically tastes change from season to season in cycles that seem to repeat every decade or so.

From red carpet gowns to casual streetwear, designers pay careful attention to what celebrities and stylists seem to be drawn to, and from there, forecast trends for the upcoming season. The fashion industry has historically divided the year into four seasons, with each major designer or fashion brand launching one collection per season. 

The four seasons of fashion are Spring/Summer, Autumn/Winter, Resort, and Pre-Fall. Spring/Summer lasts from January to June, Autumn/Winter lasts from July to December, and Pre-Fall is right in between. The Resort collection lasts from October to December. 

By the end of the season, what remains on racks and shelves will be reduced for sales to clear out that season’s inventory. Fashion lovers eagerly await end-of-season sales just as much as they await the newest releases for the next season.

“Create your own style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.” ― Anna Wintour

How Biker Shorts Became Fashionable

Fashion companies know that the average consumer wants the essence of high fashion but without the type of extravagance that would drain one’s wallet and garner confused glances from passersby.

Trends generally start on red carpets and runways before making their way into casual wear and office attire. Fashion retailer ZARA became a household name for quickly recreating affordable versions of the current season’s runway looks.

Zara, which has been credited as having the first successful fast fashion business model, has a design-to-retail style of about five weeks and introduces more than 20 different collections a year. Fast fashion, explained (Vox)

Zara is credited for creating a fashion business model in which profitability relies on speed more than quality or artistry. The goal of production isn’t necessarily longevity or tailoring—it’s to sell as much of what is currently trending the most. The clothes are not necessarily made to last—they’re made to be worn when a certain trend is at its most popular. The workmanship and prices reflect that the garment is meant to be worn for a short duration during which that style is on-trend, only to be easily discarded once the trend has run its course.

Most trends come and go, but some trends eventually become mainstream staples. The biker short seems to look good on everybody, and sustainable versions are offered at affordable prices. A black, cotton pair of biker shorts has proven itself in terms of both form and function.

Unfortunately, the need for speed can hijack what is most important. Biking is now more popular than ever—not just in fashion, but as a means of transportation.

Safety is more important than speed. Unfortunately, fatal motorcycle accidents can happen anywhere, any time. If you or a loved one has been a victim of a motorcycle accident, it is best to consult with an Accident Law Firm to discuss the next steps.

Motorcycle Safety & Accident Prevention

With millions of motorcyclists in the United States, the motorcycle is one of America’s most beloved road vehicles. Read on for some of the most important motorcycle safety tips.

Check The Weather

Before you leave for your motorcycle ride, check the local weather to see if there will be any weather conditions that will make driving hazardous. Rain, ice, and snow will allow for less traction. If you have any doubt about your ability to safely navigate the weather conditions, it is best to stay at home or choose a different form of transportation. 

Wear Your Safety Gear 

A motorcyclist has little protection in the event of an accident. Unlike what you see in your favorite fast-paced action film, motorcycle riding isn’t glamorous. The purpose of motorcycle gear isn’t to look cool—although some gear will indeed look really cool. The purpose of motorcycle gear is to protect you from the weather and road debris and to act as a barrier between your skin and the road. In the event of an accident, gear can be the difference between life and death or debilitating injuries. Always wear a helmet that has been approved by the Department of Transportation and has a face shield. Replace your helmet every three to five years. It is highly recommended to wear your safety gear even on the hottest of days—that said, beware of overheating and dress in layers. 

Check Traffic On All Sides

Accidents are more likely to happen at intersections because of the higher density of people and vehicles at junctures. Always heed caution. Watch the actual cars as carefully as you watch the traffic light; even if you have the green light with right of way, some drivers may not notice you or give you right of way, leading to an accident. When in doubt, place your trust in your own observation. Use your signals and check your mirrors whenever making turns and changing lanes.

Exercise Caution During Difficult Road Conditions

Snow and rain will cause the roads to be wetter, which provides less traction than dry roads. It is best not to ride your motorcycle during snowing or rainy days, but if you must, be sure to wear a helmet with clear visors. If you are unable to navigate the road without a clear view ahead, pull over safely and take a break. Waterproof reflective gear is best to stay dry and visible on the road. Note that snow and rain make the roads less clear for all drivers, making motorcycle drivers especially vulnerable.

Hire A Personal Injury Attorney 

Motorcycle accidents can leave you with life-changing injuries and trauma, including spinal cord injuries, fractures, and paralysis. Victims may be left with lifelong emotional trauma and enormous healthcare expenses. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, hire personal injury lawyers to represent you and fight for the compensation you deserve. Villasenor Law Office is highly experienced in accident cases involving failure to yield, backing, sideswipes, and hit-and-run. If you have been in a motorcycle accident, you can give them a call today.

Could Self-Driving Cars Save Lives?

Self-driving cars are one of the most advanced inventions of the era and they are gaining huge popularity around the world for a good reason. Driverless cars may bring the biggest industrial revolution in history. Driverless cars are believed to solve all major driver-related problems such as traffic collisions and traffic delays. Autonomous vehicles are expected to bring new exciting trends to the market while revolutionizing transportation, shopping, and emergency services. There are lots of amazing things to know about self-driving cars and how they are going to change the world. 

What are self-driving cars?

Current Advanced Driver Assistance System drive systems in vehicles come with reliable safety functions such as steering assistance, pre-collision warning, and automatic braking. There are several levels of this autonomy

Level 0: The vehicle is driven by a human.

Level 1: This automated system comes with no control over the vehicle but can assist drivers with updates regarding hazards.

Level 2: The automated system and the driver share specific controls of the vehicle. The examples of this level can be the cars that are loaded with ADAS.

Level 3: The automated system can take entire control of the vehicle but the driver will be able to interfere in case if the automated system fails to recognize serious conditions. 

Level 4: The automated system can take full control of the car while ensuring the full safety of passengers on the road. However, passengers will still be able to interfere in some critical conditions. 

Level 5: Driver can divert all attention safely away from the driving-related tasks while the automated system takes full control of the system. This type of vehicle can run in some geofenced areas or in controller environments only. This is the most advanced version of driverless cars where no human intervention may be required at any stage. 

How does self-driving technology work?

Self-driving vehicles are loaded with a wide range of technologies including cameras, radar, ultrasound, and radio antennas. These modern vehicles have an autonomous system with layers of autonomy that lead to robust and reliable solutions. One of the best examples of self-driving cars in the present times is Tesla’s autopilot car technology. It makes use of eight cameras for enhanced visibility and the decision-making power is increased using twelve ultrasonic sensors. The front-facing radar also works to analyze potential hazards on the road so that the autonomous system of the vehicle can make quick safety decisions on the road. Furthermore, the fast adoption of Internet of Things technology can improve the results for the success of the concept of self-driving cars. The combination of Artificial Intelligence can further enhance the functionality and robustness of the system.

Car accidents

Until we can safely rely on technology to drive for us, we must be careful while driving on the road.

If you have been a victim of a vehicle accident, then you deserve to be compensated for the emotional, vehicle, and physical damage.

A Night To Remember

As a young man, it’s easy to forget how dangerous riding a motorcycle can be, especially when you consider how poorly most people drive. I still remember the night I got into my crash vividly.
It was around 10 PM, and I had just gotten out of my late weekday class. I suited up, put on my jacket, my gloves, and my helmet, hopped on my bike and raced off into the night.
My college was close by to home, so the ride home involved taking city streets up a few blocks to my house. Right at the corner of my neighborhood, I stopped at a light and looked on as a few cops cleaned up the last few pieces of jagged metal from an accident that had occurred earlier in the day.
This would, unfortunately, prove to be a portent for what happened to me a few scant minutes later. As the light changed, I looked ahead and shifted into first, cruising into the intersection and shifting to second once I hit about 20 miles per hour.
Fatefully, I took one last glance over to the accident being cleared up as the red and blue lights created a glare over my visor. As I turned my attention back to the road, I noticed the car that had turned right before the light had gone green had made a sudden and complete stop in the middle of my lane.

Now accelerating to around 30 miles per hour and climbing quickly, the fingers of both hands shot towards the levers on the handles, the clutch on the left and the front brakes on the right, and throttled down, as my foot leapt towards the rear brakes next to the right foot pedal. On the crowded city street, I had no way of knowing if there was a car in either lane around me, making a veer to either lane dangerous.
As clutch, front, and rear brakes hit simultaneously, the rear end of the bike suddenly decided it was through with its lot in life and tried switching positions with the front, throwing me off in the process. Landing with a smack to the pavement, face first, I looked up to watch the bike slide towards the stopped car in a shower of spikes, with me following in no doubt a shower of shredded leather and skin.
As I and the bike came to a halt, the car decided now was the time to make its move – it veered into the right lane and then into the adjacent parking lot, its operator apparently realizing too late that he had missed his turn and needed to get in there to pick up his dinner, but not before stopping to make sure this turn was as awkward as possible.

The result of the crash was the destruction of a $4000 bike and nearly $1000 in safety equipment, a busted wrist and knee, and a few weeks of aches and pains. I never got on a bike again, as each time the thought of that same accident happening but at 60 or 70 miles per hour rather than 35.
For many riders, that very worst case scenario has happened due to poor decisions made by people protected by the skeletons of their vehicles. Injuries much worse than mine and even deaths are commonly the result of people making a poor split-second decision.
In those instances, a great friend to have is an excellent personal injury attorney who is well-steeped in the affairs of both the courthouse and the inner workings of the insurance companies. In southern California, Villasenor Law Offices are the best friends you can make as a rider who’s been injured due to the negligence of another driver.

Restitution In San Diego

Personal injuries resulting from negligence, whether at the work place or on the road, are some of the most tragic and costly random events that can happen to an individual and their families. With the amount of time we spend on the road here in Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, and southern California in general, we hear stories every day of how so and so was killed or injured in a car accident and they or their families were now in desperate need of an attorney.

Despite this, there’s a paucity of resources for people to find quality lawyers to help them in their dire situations – lawyers that can win their cases and show them the basic human decency they require in some of the worst times of their lives. The most exposure most people ever have are the rather untrustworthy looking advertisements on billboards they pass on the freeway, with the phrase ‘ambulance chaser’ regularly crossing their minds.

Thankfully, for us here in the greater San Diego area, there is an excellent resource for both consultation and representation in our personal injury cases – Villasenor Law Offices. Villasenor and his team have been helping people settle their disputes and navigate the purposefully treacherous insurance landscape for over 25 years, and they have the results to prove it.

Here are what some of the firm’s clients have to say about working with the law office:

Over the last 10 years, Chris Villasenor has created several contracts for my company that protect me in case a dispute with a client or contractor crops up. He has also reviewed contracts from my potential clients or partners and made recommendations on ways they needed to be revised in order to protect my best interest.

Chris is trustworthy, professional and a great legal resource in times of need AND he’s become my attorney of choice!

I am grateful Chris and Vicky for all the hard work they did in helping with my case. I appreciated the professionalism ,the honesty and integrity this law office represented from beginning to end. Chris is very knowledgeable in the field and comes w years of experience that shows in the way he handled my case. He was patient and kind in his communications of the process I would have to navigate. I am happy w the outcome and the process. trusting someone you don’t know isn’t always easy . If I needed this type of help in the future I would seek the help of Chris and Vicky again. Thank you both!!!

Chris is an excellent attorney… Pragmatic in his approach, but also very personable. I feel I was given wise counsel in negotiating a partnership exit strategy that protected my interests in a fair and measured way. His involvement brought me a sense of confidence. He listened to what I needed, explained my obligations, and suggested a clear path to resolution. I recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.
