Livestock-Vehicle Collision Attorney for California Accidents

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AutoAccident.com (the Law Offices of Edward A. Smith) announces the opening of an office handling California livestock-vehicle collisions.

Ranching and livestock breeding is still an active industry in California, but increasing urbanization creates an environment where the blending of land uses can result in serious accidents.  Cattle and horses are heavy animals, and a collision with them can result in serious injuries and even death of a vehicle's occupants.

Livestock owners have a duty to properly control their animals so they do not wander onto highways.  They also have a duty to properly fence their properties and supervise and restrain their animals.  Despite that duty, these cases can be difficult, because there is no presumption in California of the rancher's liability simply because there is a livestock-motor vehicle collision.

It is critical that an attorney handling these cases has investigators, fencing experts and animal behavior specialists at his disposal so that the evidence of negligence can be quickly and effectively established.  Mr. Smith has been a trial attorney since 1982, has a coveted Avvo.com rating of 10.0, has successfully handled many livestock collision cases, and provides free case evaluations for those who have been injured in this type of collision.
