Representing Injured Drivers Since 1946
Personal injuries and deaths resulting from auto accidents are common. Accidents may involve negligence on the part of another driver or trucking company, or unsafe roadways. Almost all auto accidents involve at least one injury, making them one of the most common causes of personal injury claims.
Many car accidents are minor incidents, but a shocking number, including those where damage to the automobiles involved seems minimal, cause severe injury, permanent disability and even death. With these traumas often come long-term pain and disability, emotional distress, lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage.
The intricacies of liability insurance, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, medical payments coverage, dealing with insurance adjusters, and handling complex litigation and negotiation are things we do every day. When fault is disputed, witnesses are unavailable, or the cause of an accident is in doubt, we engage sophisticated accident reconstructionists to recreate the facts and circumstances leading up to the accident and provide the clearest picture possible for our opposition and a jury. Our trial lawyers can assist you with the following:
- Help you understand the law. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before a certain date, called a statute of limitations. We will help to ensure that you do not waive any right you may have to compensation.
- Prove liability by preserving evidence, finding and interviewing witnesses.
- Help you document your injuries properly.
