Most people know what to do immediately after a car accident: check for injuries, call 911, exchange information, and take plenty of photos. But there's one decision most drivers never think about until it's too late. Where their vehicle is towed. If your car isn't drivable, that one choice can affect how much time, money, and inconvenience you deal with in the days that follow.

At Edzant Price LLP, we regularly speak with individuals who are surprised to learn how little insurance protection may apply after a collision involving a gig economy delivery driver.

In an era where the cost of owning and maintaining automobiles continues to climb, more and more consumers are turning to motorcycles as a viable alternative for commuting and leisure. However, this shift in transportation preferences has come with a stark reality check: an alarming surge in auto versus motorcycle accidents. With this trend, a critical issue has emerged - inadequate insurance coverage among at-fault parties, leaving motorcyclists vulnerable to devastating financial and physical consequences.

Traffic Collision Reports, or Police Reports, are often taken at the scenes of auto accidents. These reports summarize information collected by the investigating law enforcement officer about the vehicles, the parties involved in the accident and any witnesses, and also provide the officer's initial conclusion about fault. Lawyers will use these reports for preliminary information as to how an accident occurred. However, while these reports can be helpful, they have limitations.

Finally, after almost 50 years, medical negligence cases will see a significant law change which is way overdue for victims of medical negligence. In the 1970s, California legislators capped victims’ compensation for non-economic damages, or “pain and suffering” at $250,000. This cap has never been adjusted for inflation which would be well over $1,000,000.00 in 2022. Beginning in 2023, however, the cap for non-economic damages will be increased to $350,000, then adjusted annually. This is terrific news for injured victims at the hands of negligent health care providers.
