Auto accidents are an all too common occurrence that affects not only the person involved but their families as well. There are two aspects to an auto accident case: liability (who is responsible for the accident) and damages (injuries received as a result of the accident).
Driver negligence is the most common cause of car accidents. This includes driver inattention, failing to obey a traffic control device, driving at excessive speeds and following too closely. Auto accidents can also be caused by roadway defects or an improperly designed roadway.
Besides having to deal with the pain and suffering of the injuries received in the accident, an injured person faces the dilemma of mounting medical bills, lost wages and property damage to their vehicle. Insurance companies often will attempt to take advantage of victims of car accidents and will not provide the benefits and compensation that the injured person is entitled.
As soon as we are retained, we immediately contact the insurance company so there is no delay in getting the benefits that our client is entitled.
We also immediately begin an investigation of the claim. This includes identifying witnesses to the accident, obtaining photographs of the scene and vehicles involved and identifying the responsible individuals or companies. The sooner the investigation is performed, there is less chance of evidence being lost or memories fading.
Car accidents affect families of the injured as well. By law, spouses are entitled to seek compensation for loss of services of the injured loved one. If a person dies as a result of a car accident the children of the decedent may be entitled to seek compensation for the loss of support they would have received from their parent. Loss of support not only includes financial but emotional support as well.
We do not stop fighting until we have received the maximum amount possible for our clients. Our firm has successfully fought insurance companies, large corporations and municipalities for their negligence in causing injuries to our clients.
