Motor Vehicle Accidents
An accident can occur to anyone at any time, usually
when least expected. According to the
National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in
2007 there were an estimated 6,024,000 police reported
traffic crashes, in which 41,059 people were killed
and 2,491,000 people were injured. Accident victims
included drivers of vehicles involved in
automobile
and trucking accidents
where another driver was at fault, passengers in
automobile or trucking accidents whose driver or the
driver of another vehicle was to blame,
motorcyclists
hit by motorists, and
pedestrians
hit by vehicles. Unfortunately, accident victims
often sustain serious and catastrophic injuries that
result in permanent disabilities or even death. They
typically incur expenses related to the accident, such
as medical treatment, rehabilitation, medication, or
lost income due to their inability to work. They may
also lose the ability to perform various activities
of normal daily living, in both the short and long term,
and may endure pain and suffering as a result of the
accident. Accident victims may be entitled to compensation
for these expenses.
You or someone you know may be dealing with the overwhelming
burden of medical treatment, household and medical bills,
concerns about lost wages or the loss of your car at
a time when you need to focus on rebuilding your life.
Within days or possibly even hours of the accident,
you may be approached by a representative of the insurance
company and asked to make a statement, sign papers,
or accept a settlement offer. It is vital that you do
not talk to any insurance investigator, sign any papers,
or accept a settlement before getting the advice of
an experienced motor vehicle accident lawyer in order
to protect your right to fair compensation. It is important
to know that insurance companies have a team of adjusters,
investigators and attorneys whose goal is to minimize
the amount of money that they pay to accident victims.
Many injuries caused by accidents have long-term consequences
that they simply do not account for.
