Santa Ana Personal Injury Lawyer

According to the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) at U.C. Berkeley, more than 1,400 car, truck, and bus crashes caused injuries in Santa Ana over the course of recent years. 

Delivery Car and Truck Crashes

Santa Ana is no different from any other California city in its heavy reliance on delivery vehicles— not just to bring inventory and materials to area businesses but also to bring meals, packages, and other products to our doorsteps. Crashes involving those vehicles can create legal complications that it takes a skilled Santa Ana personal injury lawyer to solve. 

Uber and Lyft Accidents

Santa Ana has also seen a steady increase in the number of rideshare trips its residents and visitors take each year. California law protects Uber and Lyft accident victims by requiring rideshare companies to carry large insurance policies covering their injuries. 

Most of them happened because of careless or reckless conduct like speeding (30% of crashes), failing to yield the right of way (20%), and ignoring traffic signs and signals (12%). Victims of those accidents generally have rights to seek compensation from the party or parties at fault.

TIMS data also reflects that in a single year, 63 motorcycle accidents caused injuries or death on Santa Ana roads. Many of those wrecks happened on the I-5 or at busy intersections like Bristol Street and McFadden Avenue, and resulted from careless decisions by car and truck drivers who did not know how to share the road safely with motorcyclists. At Kash Legal, we fight for injured motorcyclists and families of riders who died in crashes to make sure California courts and insurance companies treat them fairly and pay them maximum damages.

116 traffic accidents in Santa Ana left a pedestrian injured or dead in a recent year, according to TIMS. In most of them, a motorist failed to take adequate care at intersections, crosswalks, and anywhere pedestrians might walk along the side of the road. Pedestrian accidents in Santa Ana have terrible consequences, routinely causing fatalities or severe injuries at a far higher rate than most other crashes.

Like pedestrians, bicycle and e-scooter riders also constitute a particularly vulnerable population on Santa Ana streets. In an accident with a motor vehicle, they almost always suffer extensive and potentially life-threatening injuries. In a recent year, bicycle crashes alone left 88 victims dead or injured in Santa Ana (TIMS does not yet track e-scooter crash data). Kash Legal advocates for the safety of bicyclists, e-scooter riders, and everyone else who uses alternative forms of transportation in Santa Ana, and goes the distance to hold at-fault parties accountable when accidents happen.

The owner of every property you set foot on in Santa Ana—be it public, commercial, or residential—owes you basic duties to keep you safe from unreasonable dangers that could harm you. If you fell or otherwise suffered an injury on premises you do not own in Santa Ana, chances are you have the right to hold the owner or tenant liable for your damages.

Vaping devices (a.k.a. e-cigarettes) have become popular as an alternative to tobacco. But some vape pens are hazardous to your health and safety because they contain hidden defects that make them liable to explode or catch fire. Manufacturers of those defective devices generally owe compensation to individuals who suffer injuries because of them. Kash Legal is the kind of law firm that knows how to hold those big companies to account for putting innocent consumers in harm’s way.
