Problems with accident insurance claims

Almost every cases of vehicular accidents in California result in filing of an insurance claim. This is what most victims do in order to recover expenses in paying for their medical treatment, damage to property and other losses related to their accident involvement.

Unfortunately, a great number of traffic accident victims fail to receive the right amount of recoveries that they should get. This is mainly because of their inadequate understanding about the matters surrounding their insurance policies.

Hollywood Car Racers Claim another Innocent Victim

Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood is fast becoming more popular these days, not for the film stars and celebrities that frequent the thoroughfare, but for the more notorious kind that lord over the streets at night - the car racers.

Reading the article, “Street Racing Causes Yet Another Fatal Accident”, posted January 2, I cannot help but sympathize with the family of the innocent victim killed in a tragic accident caused by car racing. Witnesses said the accident involved two BMWs, both driven by young men who are racing down the boulevard. One of the racing cars went out of control and spun, hitting another vehicle that the victim was driving. The driver of the vehicle died instantly from the crash. The passenger of the vehicle also suffered severe third-degree burn injuries and is now in critical condition at a hospital.

According to the article, the police were able to apprehend the driver of the BMW involved in the accident and found out that the young man was intoxicated while driving.
