Common Causes of Car Accidents
- Distracted driving, including texting behind the wheel
- Speeding and aggressive driving
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Running red lights and stop signs
- Unsafe lane changes and tailgating
- Drowsy driving
- Dangerous road conditions or defective vehicle parts
Injuries We See
Car accidents often cause whiplash and neck injuries, back and spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, internal injuries and, in the worst cases, wrongful death. These injuries can mean medical bills, missed work and long recoveries.
Holding Insurance Companies Accountable
Insurance companies have adjusters and investigators whose job is to limit what they pay. We handle the communication with them, build the evidence of fault and push back on low settlement offers, so you can focus on your recovery.
What To Do After a Car Accident
- Do not leave the scene, and call 911 so there is an official police report.
- Get medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor.
- Exchange names, phone numbers and insurance information with the other driver.
- Take photos of the vehicles, the scene and any visible injuries.
- Do not admit fault, and do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.
- Keep your police report, medical bills and treatment records together in one file.
- Contact an attorney as soon as possible, because deadlines for filing a claim apply.
