$1M Negotiated for a Sideswipe Car Accident

Our client was the driver of a vehicle traveling southbound on Western Avenue approaching the intersection of Del Amo Boulevard in Torrance, California. At the same time, the plaintiff was traveling southbound in lane #2 on Western Avenue.

When our client entered the intersection for a green light, the defendant made a sudden right turn into Del Amo Boulevard and struck our client’s vehicle on the front driver’s side.

Upon impact, our client hit their head on the window of the vehicle. The police officer on the scene found the defendant at fault for the collision in violation of California Vehicle Code Section 22100 (a) V.C. for making an improper right turn.

As a result of this collision, our client’s vehicle sustained extensive damage. The paramedics of McCormick Ambulance Service evaluated our client at the site of the collision. Our client complained of a headache and pain down the right side of her body. Following the application of complete safety restraints, the paramedics transported our client to the emergency department of Torrance Memorial Hospital without an incident and transferred our client’s care to the waiting emergency department staff.
