Long Beach is an oceanfront gem located in the heart of Southern California, known for its sandy beaches and a world-class aquarium. But as the 42nd-most populous city in the United States, it has its fair share of accidents, often caused by the negligent behavior of others.

For example, ranking in 5th place of the worst 15 cities in the OTS Crash Ranking Results, over 3,000 crash victims are killed or injured in Long Beach every year.

If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries in an accident, you might be entitled to claim compensation.

Cohen & Marzban help clients who have been seriously injured in an accident due to the negligence of another party to get the compensation they deserve.

Personal Injuries

“Personal injury” is a legal term used where an individual suffers physical, emotional, or reputational damage caused by another person or entity.

There are three grounds for personal injury claims, namely:

Negligence (the most common)
Strict Liability
Intentional Wrongs

Typical events that might lead to a personal injury claim include:

Car Accidents – One of the leading causes of personal injuries in Long Beach and Los Angeles County. Car accidents typically occur due to speeding, fatigue, aggressive driving, mechanical defects, DUI, distracted driving, and improper turning.

Truck Accidents – You don’t stand a chance against a large truck that weighs between 20 and 30 times more than your car. Statistics published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) show that about 97% of vehicle occupants killed in two-vehicle crashes involving a passenger vehicle and a large truck are occupants of the passenger vehicles.

Motorcycle Accidents – Riding a motorcycle is a great way to travel in Long Beach. Unfortunately, as a rider or passenger, you have a much higher chance of sustaining serious injuries in a motorcycle accident. Other motorists, such as car drivers, are often not observant enough to avoid an accident with a motorcycle that they didn’t see coming.

Uber and Lyft Accidents – In most cities, including Long Beach, many residents have come to depend on ride-hailing services, such as Uber and Lyft. It’s a convenient alternative to conventional transportation. However, with the surge in popularity of ride-hailing services comes an increase in Uber and Lyft accidents and personal injury claims.

Slip and Fall Accidents – According to the World Health Organization (WHO), falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide. Every year millions of people are injured in slip and fall accidents across the United States. And Long Beach is no exception as many people suffer injuries every year from slipping on wet floors, uneven pavements, etc.
