Auto Accidents
|
Even minor 'fender bender' collisions can cause serious and long term injuries that the individual may not even be aware of. Whiplash can cause ligament, muscle and spinal cord injuries from the hyper-flexion and hyper-extension from one's neck from relatively minor car collisions. Accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles and buses unfortunately result in many serious injuries. These accidents are usually due to driver error, but other factors may also play a part in causing these accidents. Poorly maintained roads and improper traffic control signals are sometimes responsible for causing accidents. Some cases may even require the use of accident reconstruction experts to determine the cause of the accident. Evaluating all the possible causes of a serious motor vehicle accident is a job for an experienced attorney. In addition, injury victims may also need an attorney’s help in finding an appropriate medical specialist or arranging for the specialist to wait for payment until the case settles.

Common
sense advice:
As with any
accident that involves visible injuries and other physical evidence it is usually
wise to take photographs of the scene, injuries and any other physical
evidence (e.g. damaged car; motorcycle; bicycle or any other physical
evidence that supports your injury case). Do not speak to any insurance
adjusters. No matter how helpful, friendly, or compassionate a liability
insurance adjusters may seem, you must always keep in mind that it is the
job of that adjuster to limit the amount of money the insurance company
will have to pay on your claim to the greatest extent possible. Therefore,
do not speak to any insurance company representatives nor sign any
documents before you consult with an attorney! |
