Motor Vehicle Accidents

Every year thousands of innocent people are killed in accidents caused by the negligence of others and tens of thousands more are seriously injured.

If you are injured or lose a loved one due to the negligence of another, you may recover money damages from all responsible parties for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, disfigurement or disability. You may also have additional rights under your own automobile insurance policy or be entitled to workers compensation benefits if you were working at the time of the accident.

Properly presenting a case to an insurance company or to a court requires careful preparation and a thorough knowledge of the law. An experienced attorney can be of great help in obtaining full compensation for an injured person. Remember that the insurance companies are represented by professionals who will even try to discourage injured people from protecting their rights by seeking legal counsel.

The best time to seek assistance is immediately after the accident, before the witnesses disappear or forget and before crucial evidence is lost due to the passage of time. Photographs or videotape recordings need to be made, evidence, records and reports need to be gathered and all witnesses need to be identified, located and interviewed as soon a possible. Many modern trucks and cars have onboard computers that record speed and other vital information much like the "black boxes" on airplanes. It is very important to gain access to this information as soon as possible.

Often injured people need immediate advice and assistance in obtaining referrals for medical treatment or in obtaining replacements for transportation or other damaged property.
