Injured by a Car While Riding on a Skateboard in Orange County

Have you or a child been injured by a car while riding on a skateboard in Orange County?  Who will pay for a skateboarder’s injuries?  What if the skateboarder was doing something questionable or against a posted ordinance?

My name is Rivers Morrell and after more than 40 years of experience and successful trial victories in skateboard injury cases I can tell you a car shouldn’t hit and injure anyone on a skateboard.  I have won substantial amounts for our clients in jury trials where the insurance company and witnesses at the scene accused the skateboarder of acting recklessly or against posted ordinances.  The simple fact is this: a human being is no match for the weight and momentum of a car.  Drivers are required by California law to avoid hitting any pedestrian including those who are riding a skateboard.

If a person is hit and injured by a car while riding on a skateboard in Orange County in almost every case there is a valid personal injury claim.  I will stand up to the insurance companies and hold them fully responsible and financially accountable for having to suffer injuries and endure recovery.  I work to ensure any settlement or verdict includes full and fair compensation for:

  • All past, present and future medical expenses and bills
  • Physical therapy, pharmaceuticals and compensation for future complications such as arthritis
  • Missed work or the impact on School Work

If you or your child has been injured by a car while riding on a skateboard in Orange County you will need an experienced Mission Viejo accident and injury attorney.  The insurance company representative will try to convince you there is not a valid claim, or they will offer substantially less than they are required to pay under California law.  This is not only legal for them to do it is the strategy insurance companies follow in each and every personal injury case.

I invite you to review the strong recommendations of former clients as well as the legal industry and contact us or call to speak with me personally for a free consultation at 949-305-1400.
