Every year millions of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents. This includes all types of traffic accidents and all kinds of injuries. Car accidents are the leading cause of brain and spinal cord injury in the United States. Motorcycle accidents cause about 20% of motor vehicle related head injuries.
Automobile accidents are often the subject of personal injury claims and lawsuits. Sometimes people try to handle their injury claim themselves. Unfortunately, that can invite disaster. Insurance companies have experienced adjusters and attorneys looking out for them.
An injury victim should have someone to look out for him or her as well. Insurance claims can be overwhelming. Injury victims may face lost wages, mounting medical bills, repair bills and other out of pocket expenses. Because of that it is good to have a qualified car accident attorney in your corner, making sure the proper investigation is completed, the insurance benefits are coordinated and that you, as the accident victim, are properly compensated.
