Car Accidents
Accidents happen each day on the highways and byways of our nation. In fact, a ccording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), every 10 seconds someone in the United States is involved in a car accident. Is it any wonder the most prevalent personal injury cases pending on court dockets are those arising from car and other vehicle accidents?
Drivers of cars and other motor vehicles are expected to exercise "reasonable care under the circumstances." Failure to do so is defined as negligence. Neg ligent drivers cause many traffic accidents, while defects in highway construction or even weather conditions may be responsible for other accidents. Often car accidents cause only minor damage, but thousands of other collisions result in catastrophic injuries or death.
If you are injured in a car accident and are able to prove the person who caused your injury was “negligent,” you may be entitled to compensation for your personal injuries, pain and suffering, car damage and possibly other costs.
It is critical to retain a highly competent attorney, who can protect you rights. While insurance companies will try to limit your claims, a skillful attorney will aggressively pursue the maximum recovery of damages to which you are entitled.
