According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are over 1 million automobile accidents in the United States every year that result in someone being injured. Although there are a multitude of factors that lead to traffic accidents, speeding and driving while intoxicated lead to more injuries and deaths than any other.
Being injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident can be a serious and life changing experience. The result may be as simple as a broken arm or leg, or as critical as a spinal cord injury resulting in death. Some accident victims require a significant amount of care and rehabilitation; others have less severe injuries. Some experience and recover from their injuries right away, while others may not recover the full extent of those injuries in their lifetime.
Because the factors involved in any automobile accident and the life-altering injuries caused as a result of that accident are so varied, making an automobile accident claim becomes very complicated. Insurance adjusters do not work to maximize the value of a victim’s claim, making your choice in an attorney even more crucial. You need an attorney who will consider all the sources of possible recovery - auto liability insurance, umbrella coverage, health and disability insurance - and protect your interests.
Driving is an inherently dangerous activity. Because of the risk involved, we take the time and effort to strap our children into their car seats, to buy vehicles with high safety standards and features, and to drive defensively. Even if we take every precaution and buckle every seat belt, we cannot govern the actions of others on the roads. We can, however, choose the right attorney to protect us.
