Speaking to a qualified car accident attorney is the only way to really know if you have a claim. When we consider a case, we look for a few things. These include:
Was the accident a result of negligence? Was your accident caused by an individual or business acting carelessly—breaking traffic laws, driving drunk, or driving an inadequately maintained vehicle? We need to be able to prove negligence to win a case.
Did you sustain serious injuries? Back and neck injuries, brain injuries, injuries requiring amputation, and other catastrophic results make it difficult or impossible to go back to your normal life. If you have been badly injured, the compensation from winning a case can help you get back on your feet.
The moments following a car accident can be very confusing. You may be in pain, unsure of what happened, and have difficulty thinking clearly. Knowing the steps to take following an accident will help you protect yourself and your rights.
Have your insurance information ready and start recording details of the accident. You should keep a way to record details of an accident in your vehicle.

Exchange info. You need to exchange all pertinent information with the other driver, including driver’s license numbers, addresses, and insurance details.
Review your insurance policy. Look over your coverage and get a clear picture of what it will do for you following the accident.

Some of the most common causes of car accidents include:
Distracted driving can involve a variety of activities, including changing the radio station, eating while driving, etc. The increase in the use of mobile devices has led to an increase in accidents. A driver who is texting can easily travel far without looking at the road. If the driver was distracted when they caused your accident, speak to an attorney. Contact us!
Getting behind the wheel while intoxicated is illegal, but that does not stop people from doing it. If your accident was caused by a drunk driver, there is a strong possibility that we can build a case that will get you fair compensation. Contact our car accident attorneys to tell us your story and allow us to see if you have a case.
Truck and tractor-trailer accidents are some of the most severe because their weight is so much heavier than that of passenger cars. Commercial drivers have an obligation to the public to drive responsibly. When they do not and cause an accident, the responsible party should be held accountable. Our firm is very familiar with truck accident cases.
We have seen a rise in the claims made against other types of commercial drivers, such as Uber drivers. Our firm knows how to pursue these types of cases, and we are interested in learning more about your accident. Please fill out our contact form or give us a call to speak to an attorney with experience in car accidents caused by commercial drivers.
The safety equipment in your car should operate as intended, but that is not always what happens. We can pursue legal action for airbag failure and seat belt failure. It may be possible to collect damages from multiple parties if they were responsible for the safety equipment failure. Contact our team today and we’ll try and help you the best we can!
