CAR ACCIDENTS

Car Accident Lawyers represent all parties involved in car accidents, including drivers, passengers and pedestrians who are victims of a motor vehicle accident. Motor vehicle accidents include automobiles, autos, buses, cars, motorcycles and trucks.

Car accidents kill or injure thousands of people every year and are responsible for over 100,000 deaths since 2003. Accidents on roadways are the biggest cause of personal injury claims. Types of car accident claims include:

  • Defective Vehicle Car Accident Claims
  • Loss of Income Car Accident Claims
  • Medical Expenses Car Accident claims
  • Uninsured Driver Car Accident Claims
  • Car accidents can be broken down into several categories depending on the type of accident. The most common include:

  • Backup Accidents
  • Head-On Collisions
  • Rear-End Collisions
  • Rollovers
  • Side Impact Collisions
  • Car accident injuries are usually minor and can include minor cuts and scrapes or injuries such as whiplash. Some car accidents are serious and can result in death, spinal cord injury, brain injury, limb injuries, limb loss or paralysis.

    Car Accident lawyers can help ensure that you are properly compensated for your car accident injury, whether you are a driver, passenger or pedestrian. Car accident lawyers have the necessary experience and you should contact an experienced car accident lawyer as soon as possible if you have been involved in a car accident.

    About Auto Accidents

    Auto accidents are a leading cause of injury and death in all age groups. Approximately 6,000,000 auto accidents occur each year with 40,000 fatalities.

    Alcohol is involved in 40% of these fatalities, and speeding is involved in 29% of all vehicle accident fatalities. Speeding and alcohol are not the only problems to face when attempting to improve highway safety.

    Young drivers (15-20) and older drivers (>69) both have driver fatality rates much higher than drivers between the ages of 25 and 69. Inattentive driving, distracted driving including cell phone use, and aggressive driving (combination of moving traffic offenses) are problems that also must be dealt with.
