Accidents Happen. Don’t Let Yourself Be Caught Unprepared
Today began like any other day – wake up at 5:30, gym, shower, breakfast on the drive to the office. As I was pulling out of the parking lot of my favorite café, however, things took a frightening turn.
As I drove forward, looking both ways, I slowly took my left turn, seeing that the light at the nearby intersection hadn’t turned to let traffic coming my way go. As I hit the middle lane, however, I took one cautionary look to make sure I hadn’t missed anyone, and that’s when I saw the massive SUV that absolutely dwarfed my compact barreling down the road towards me, completely ignoring the fact that he had a red light.
Things seemed to slow, with my car inching towards a lane that inevitable death was screaming down towards, not 100 feet from impact. I jerked the wheel, and the SUV did as well, tires squealing on pavement as we passed mere inches away from one another. He honked his horn at me as I righted myself back into the lane, cold sweat dripping down my spine.
The whole drive to the office I clenched the wheel with white knuckles, the image of the impact that was so narrowly avoided playing again and again in my head. What would have happened if I hadn’t taken that last cursory glance over my shoulder?
It’s times like these that I’m really glad I know some excellent legal advisors around Poway, the town the café is in, and with this event on my mind, I began asking around to see what I could have expected if I were in a crash. They directed me to who, in their opinion, is the best in the biz in town, Villasenor Accident Law Firm.
The Poway-based firm and its name holder, Christopher Villasenor, has been helping victims of accidents and personal injuries for over 25 years and has built his brand as the best accident attorney in Poway through blood, sweat, and tears. The firm has helped hundreds of people recover revenues lost due to injury as well as receive restitution for the wounds they’ve received due to the negligence of others.
This whole experience has taught me a couple of lessons:
- Don’t expect other people to know or respect the laws and rules of the road. Seriously, the guy honked at me as he drove away, despite the fact that he ran a red light! What a moron.
- Accidents can happen at any time, and you need to do the groundwork now to be prepared for the worst if and when it happens.
In the interests of this last point, I highly recommend you seek out the best accident attorney in your area, and make sure you ask other lawyers who it is so you know which one won’t jerk you around and cost you a bunch of extra money with nothing to show for it. If you’re in the San Diego area, I definitely would recommend you seek out the services of Villasenor Law Firm.
