Auto Accident Attorney

Automobile accidents cause thousands of deaths in the United States each year. If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident, you need an experienced auto accident attorney to represent you; otherwise, you might not be compensated for your injuries. Our firm is experienced in car accident issues and car accident injuries.

Accidents involving serious forms of injury, such as closed head injury, and or death often require assistance that only an auto injury attorney can provide. In these situations, we can help determine your rights and assist you if you are owed compensation.

After an accident, there is a limited period of time in which a personal injury lawsuit can be filed. The statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is from one to six years and varies by state.

If you are injured in an auto accident, you may have to take off from work, you may be hospitalized or receiving treatment from a physician. If this is the case, an insurance company may offer you a settlement. You should never accept a settlement offer from an insurance company without talking to an auto accident attorney first. If you have to take off from work and subsequently have a loss of wages or have un-paid medical bills, the settlement may not cover all of your expenses. An auto accident attorney will examine your individual situation and the details to insure a fair settlement. Many automobile accidents occur because of the negligence of one of the drivers involved. When a car accident is caused by another driver’s negligence, the injured party needs a skilled attorney to fight for compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, as well as other damages. A number of factors contribute to auto accidents, and many are the result of some form of negligence. Some of the most common are:

ü      Traffic Law Violations

ü      Driving While Distracted or Impaired

ü      Driver’s Error

ü      Road Conditions

ü      Equipment Failure

To be compensated by either an insurance company or a court award, negligence usually must be proven. Negligence means someone has failed to act in a careful and conscientious manner. In the case of an automobile or truck crash, negligence is found in facts derived from police report(s), eyewitness testimony, photographs and sketches of the scene. Proving negligence means showing that:

• Someone's neglect and carelessness caused the car accident
• The car accident caused harm &
• The party at fault is responsible for paying compensation

It is important, after an automobile accident to call the police immediately-even if no one was injured to file an accident report. Auto accident reports determine fault and will be helpful when filing an insurance claim. The report should include interviews with the parties involved, and witnesses. Photographs, diagrams, drawings, maps, and or illustrations of auto accident scenes are often supplied by the police. It is also a good idea to take pictures of the accident, and gather as much information as possible. Remember to get the names and phone numbers of all auto accident witnesses, as well as anyone involved in the accident itself.

Auto accident injuries include whiplash, joint, muscle, and bone injuries, head and brain injury, and paralysis. Auto accident victims must seek medical attention immediately if they believe they are injured. Auto accident claims for damages resulting from automobile accidents usually depend on medical records linking the injury to the auto accident. The more time that elapses between the accident and the treatment, the more complicated it is to establish a connection.
