Hot Spots for Accidents in San Mateo

Certain areas of San Mateo may pose a higher-than-average risk for accidents.

These areas may:

• Be bottlenecks for traffic
• Attract high numbers of motorists
• Contain confusing intersections, unclear traffic signals, or other hazards
• Be hotspots of tourism or nightlife, both of which can contribute to accidents

Some areas of San Mateo known for accidents include stretches of El Camino Real in Menlo Park and Redwood City, California Drive in Burlingame, Willow Road in Menlo Park, and Bay Road in East Palo Alto. The fact is, though, that accidents can—and do—happen in virtually any segment of San Mateo.

Accidents involving uninsured motorists are especially complicated. Rather than giving you the traditional option of filing an insurance claim, an uninsured motorist has no insurance to cover your losses. You may need to rely on your insurance or sue the uninsured motorist. In either case, you should hire an attorney from Galine, Frye, Fitting & Frangos, LLP.

California Law Is Clear—Motorists in San Mateo Need Insurance

If you were struck by an uninsured motorist in San Mateo, there is no doubt that they’re in the wrong. The motorist’s lack of insurance is even more problematic if they caused your accident.

California is an “at-fault” state. This means that the motorist who causes the accident is liable for damages. California requires every motorist to carry a minimum amount of auto insurance. When a motorist chooses not to maintain such insurance, they’re still liable for damages.

If you elected to purchase uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, then your insurance may cover your losses. If you didn’t purchase such coverage, or your coverage limits don’t account for all of your losses, then you may sue the at-fault driver.

A Personal Injury Attorney Will Explain Your Options for Seeking Compensation

Not only will we explain your options, but we will seek the recovery that you deserve. Whether you file a claim with your own insurer or you pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault driver, we’ll lead the process.

Our duties may include:

• Conducting a comprehensive investigation
• Gathering and preserving all relevant evidence
• Advising you on whether to file a claim or lawsuit
• Obtaining witness accounts
• Identifying and valuing your damages
• Leading settlement talks
• Representing you at trial if necessary

Uninsured motorists in San Mateo show a blatant disregard for others. If you’ve suffered because of an uninsured motorist’s actions, we’ll seek an appropriate recovery.
