Although we’re all still under the stay-at-home order in California, accidents and personal injury cases are still as prevalent as ever. Unfortunately, just because the world has slowed down and been forced to take a pause doesn’t mean that accidents and injuries have, too.


So, what if you’re involved in an accident during the COVID-19 pandemic? Can you still call a California injury lawyer?


The answer is yes! And we’re going to walk you through how to hire a personal injury lawyer remotely and still receive the same care, attention, and justice that you would by seeking counsel in office.

Navigating Our New Normal

There’s no question that the global COVID-19 pandemic has forced us all into changes that we never saw coming. From lost jobs and wages to all of a sudden playing teacher to our kids, times are tough and uncertain.


As we all work to navigate and adjust to our new normal, there’s still the threat of accidents and injuries. In fact, California and other states around the country have reported a severe uptick in speeding drivers on the now less busy roadways.


As the crisis prolongs and the spring months are upon us, we’re all looking for ways to get outside of our homes, whether that be a car ride with the family, a walk through the neighborhood, or a bike ride. While we’re out and about, the risk for accidents and injuries is still there, so it’s important to be mindful of your surroundings at all times.

What to Do After a Car Accident

Even the most prepared and cautious motorist can experience an accident out on the road. And when it comes to what steps you should take immediately following an accident, nothing has changed.


It’s vital that you contact a California injury lawyer ASAP. After you alert the proper authorities, your next phone call should be to a personal injury attorney, even before you contact your insurance company.


When it comes to auto accidents and personal injury cases, there’s no time to waste and your swift action can make or break your case.

How to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer During COVID-19

If you experience an accident during the COVID-19 pandemic, don’t panic. We’re here to take your call and provide you with the same personalized service and dedication that we would if you were to walk into our office.


We’re able to continue to serve our clients by utilizing telephone and video conferencing software to provide comprehensive consultations without putting anyone at risk and while abiding by the law.

A devastating crash on the 15 Freeway in Temecula late Saturday night left four people dead and two others injured after a BMW M4, allegedly driven recklessly, lost control and caused a head-on collision. The California Highway Patrol reported the crash around 9:33 p.m. when the BMW, traveling north of Winchester Road, swerved left, struck a concrete median, and flew into the southbound lanes. The car veered into the far-right lane and collided head-on with a white Nissan Sentra. The BMW burst into flames moments after impact. Good Samaritans were able to pull the BMW’s driver, a 25-year-old man from Moreno Valley, from the burning vehicle. He suffered major injuries and was rushed to a hospital. Tragically, his passengers did not survive. A 23-year-old woman in the front seat and two Moreno Valley teenagers, a 14-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl in the back, were pronounced dead at the scene. The Nissan’s driver, a 35-year-old man from Wildomar, was taken to a hospital but did not survive the trip. His passenger, a 22-year-old man, remains in critical condition. Authorities said that alcohol does not appear to have been a factor, but charges against the BMW driver are pending as investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding what they describe as reckless driving. As of Sunday afternoon, none of the victims had been publicly identified.

A tragic crash on Interstate 80 in Davis claimed the life of 42-year-old Christopher Barr of Dixon early Tuesday morning. According to the California Highway Patrol, the accident happened just before 4:45 a.m. in a construction zone on the eastbound side of the freeway, just west of Mace Boulevard. CHP reported that a Volvo tractor with trailers was traveling in the middle lane when, for reasons still unknown, Barr’s Harley Davidson motorcycle failed to slow down and struck the back of the truck. The impact threw him from the motorcycle, and he was fatally struck by another vehicle that has not yet been identified. Authorities have said that alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors in the crash. The collision remains under investigation by the California Highway Patrol as they work to determine what led to the fatal chain of events.
