- Q. We were in an accident where the other driver was racing at 90+mph and hit us on driver front. Who's at fault?
- A: California Vehicle Code Section 22350 states “No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.”
If the police or Highway Patrol responded, I would expect the other driver would be cited for a violation of this code section. Regardless of what a Traffic Collision Report says, however, you should be able to prove this collision was the other driver’s fault, particularly with your witnesses' statements. Good luck and I hope no one was severely injured.
- Q. My landlord exhibited what is called a constructive eviction also known as a self eviction can I get a restraining order
- A: I'm sorry to hear about this situation. This is not a constructive eviction. A constructive eviction is when the tenant moves out, typically due to problems with the conditions or habitability of the property. In that instance, the landlord does not "actually" evict the tenant, but the conditions are so bad that it's like the landlord evicted the tenant by allowing the conditions to exist. A "self eviction" is not recognizable under California law and what you've described is illegal. I'm glad you were able to get assistance from your local police department and I wish you luck.
- Q. Why would my accident attorney request my insurance provider information if the accident was caused by the other driver?
- A: There are several reasons. First, in California, a driver is required to have insurance in order to be able to recover certain damages, even if an auto accident is the fault of another person. Second, the responsible driver could have no insurance, or a limited amount of insurance. In this case, one's own uninsured or underinsured motorist provision in the auto policy could be a source of recovery for damages. Good luck and hopefully you will have a speedy recovery from your injuries.
