$1M Recovery for a T-Bone Accident

Our client was a restrained passenger of a vehicle traveling north on La Cienega. The driver of the victim’s car stopped to make a left turn at the intersection of Clemson Street. The at-fault driver in the T-bone accident in Los Angeles, California, was driving another car.

Upon the green light, our client’s vehicle attempted to turn left onto the Plaza at Clemson Street. At that point, the defendant’s car collided with the passenger side of our client’s vehicle. The crash was T-shaped, which made the impact more violent for the occupants of the struck car.

Following the collision, our client suffered a brief loss of consciousness. The police officer at the scene found the defendant to be at fault for the crash. Under California law, the defendant was found to have violated California Vehicle Code Section 21801 C V.C. for attempting to make an unsafe left turn. The T-bone accident on a lightly trafficked Los Angeles street caused serious personal injury and property damage.
