Introduction on Car Accident / Motor Vehicle Accident
Personal Injury Attorneys:
Car/motor vehicle accidents can have enormous costs on those individuals unfortunate enough to be involved in them. With the advancements of our roadways and of the automobile, these accidents have become nearly impossible to avoid. The majority of Americans have either been involved in accidents or at least know someone who has been involved. According to the National Safety Council more than 38,000 people died in car accidents in 2015. The top three causes of fatalities on the road included: drunk driving, speeding, and distracted driving.
In most accidents there are generally insurance policies in place to help compensate the victims of these accidents. However, in these types of cases insurance companies are often looking out for their own bottom line and may offer to settle a claim way beneath it’s value. This is one reason why it is important to have an attorney representing your rights. Before any settlement should be accepted the following questions should be considered:
What Compensation Is Available?
- Costs of medical care;
- Lost wages and income;
- Pain and Suffering;
- Potential claims of loss of consortium may also be available for a spouse.
- Punitive Damages may be awarded if the defendant’s conduct was intentional or grossly negligent.

What are the pitfalls of my claim?
