At Hanson & Mouri, our Hesperia car accident lawyers handle a wide range of crash-related claims, such as:
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end crashes are common in high-traffic areas of Hesperia, especially on Bear Valley Road and Interstate 15. These accidents often result in whiplash, back injuries, and other soft tissue damage.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on crashes are among the deadliest types of accidents. They often occur due to speeding, drunk driving, or wrong-way driving. Victims frequently suffer life-altering injuries that require long-term care.
T-Bone Accidents
Also known as side-impact crashes, T-bone accidents often happen at intersections when a driver runs a red light or fails to yield. These collisions can cause broken bones, spinal injuries, and internal trauma.
Multi-Vehicle Crashes
Chain-reaction collisions involving multiple vehicles can create complex liability questions. Our attorneys are skilled in investigating multi-car accidents and pursuing all liable parties for compensation.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
California law requires drivers to stay at the scene of an accident. If you were hurt in a hit-and-run, we will help you pursue compensation through your uninsured motorist coverage while working to identify the at-fault driver.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs pose a serious threat on Hesperia roads. If a drunk driver injured you or your loved one, we will hold them fully accountable for their reckless behavior.
Distracted Driving Crashes
Using a phone, GPS, or even eating while driving can lead to severe accidents. We gather the evidence needed to prove liability in distracted driving claims.
Liability is determined by evaluating evidence that shows which party acted negligently. To establish fault, four elements must be proven, including duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. All drivers have a legal duty to operate their vehicles safely. When that duty is breached—by speeding, distracted driving, or violating traffic laws—and it directly causes an accident, the at-fault party can be held liable under California Civil Code §1714. Liability may also extend to other parties, such as vehicle owners, employers, or government agencies responsible for unsafe road conditions. Evidence used to determine fault includes police reports, eyewitness statements, traffic and surveillance camera footage, vehicle damage analysis, and expert accident reconstruction reports.
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule (Civil Code §1714). This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault for the crash. However, your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 in damages but found 30% at fault, you will receive $70,000.
In California, the statute of limitations for most car accident injury claims is two years from the date of the accident, as outlined in California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) §335.1. If you fail to pursue a claim within two years you may lose your right to seek compensation in court.
If the accident caused only property damage, the deadline extends to three years from the date of the incident under CCP §338.
If a government entity is involved—such as a city vehicle—the deadline to file an administrative claim is six months under the California Government Code §911.2.
