Auto Accidents

We fight for people injured by someone else’s negligence. A car accident can leave you with serious injuries, medical bills, and a lot of questions. Our attorneys are dedicated to aggressively representing you to obtain the compensation that you deserve. In many cases, you may be able to recover the cost of your medical care, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and wage loss.

If you’re looking for help because a loved one was fatally injured in motor vehicle accident, we can help recover additional compensation for funeral expenses, loss of economic support, and loss of consortium.

Our lawyers handle cases throughout the United States and will evaluate your claim to determine how to get you every dollar that you’re entitled to. We can handle a wide variety of cases, including motor vehicle accidents involving cars, semi-trucks, buses, motorcycles, and drunk drivers. It’s always beneficial to consult with an experienced attorney. Insurance companies routinely try to take advantage of unrepresented victims.

Every party that contributed to you or your loved one’s suffering should be held accountable. Our team will use their decades of combined experience to pursue the maximum compensation available to you from the parties responsible for your injuries. We know how to work effectively with insurance companies and navigate the claim process to fight for every dollar while you focus on recovery.

There are several kinds of collisions, all of which we can help with:

• Rear-end collisions are traffic accidents that occur when one car crashes into a car in front of it.  Whiplash is an injury in rear-impact collisions, even when the wreck occurs at a moderate speeds. The driver of the car that rear-ends the other car is usually considered to be at fault due to not being within stopping distance, or following too closely, or lack of attention. An exception is when the impacted vehicle is in reverse gear. If the driver of the car that was rear-ended files a claim against the driver who hit him, said driver could be responsible for damages.

• Side-impact collisions, also called a “T-bone” collision, or “broadsided,” occur when the side of a vehicle is impacted by the front or rear of another vehicle or a fixed object. Vehicle damage and occupant injury are more likely to be severe in this type of car crash. However, that varies based on the part of the vehicle that is struck, the vehicle’s safety features such as airbags and crumples zones, weight and construction of the vehicle, including materials, and the speed of the vehicles involved in the wreck. Vehicle occupants on the side of a vehicle struck usually sustain far worse injuries than they would in a front or rear-end crash.

• Sideswipe collisions are typically when the sides of two parallel cars touch and “swipe” each other. If both motor vehicles are traveling in the same direction and neither driver loses control, the vehicles may suffer only cosmetic damage.

• Vehicle Rollover occurs when a vehicle flips over onto its side or roof. Rollovers are often caused by a sharp turn at high speed. All vehicles are subject to a rollover accident, but SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) are usually at a greater risk because they are usually taller than other vehicles, and have a higher center of gravity. This combined with speeding increases the risk of a vehicle rollover.

• Head-on collisions are when the front ends of two vehicles hit each other. Head-on collisions are often fatal.

• Single car accidents occur when only one vehicle is involved. In some cases a vehicle strikes other objects such as poles, trees, fire hydrants, walls and may involve innocent bystanders. Those accidents often result in property damage and personal injury.

• Multi-vehicle pile-ups, also called multi-vehicle collisions, are accidents involving many vehicles. Pile-ups usually occur on highways or freeways. They are one of the deadliest kinds of traffic accidents and a solid mass of crumpled vehicles makes escape or rescue difficult. A fire in one part of the accident can quickly spread to spilled fuel and cover the entire crash area. Vehicles in a pile up are often hit multiple times, increasing risk of injury to its occupants. Cars often spin during a pile-up accident and are hit from the side. In some cases, drivers and passengers choose to get out of their vehicles during a pile up, putting them at risk of being hit by another vehicle. Determining the cause of multi-vehicle collisions is difficult; it’s often impossible to tell if negligence caused the crash.
