Automobile Accidents

 Catastrophic injuries and death are all too common consequences of motor vehicle accidents in the United States. In fact, according to government calculations, someone is involved in a vehicle accident every ten seconds in the United States. Thousands of people die and nearly a million are injured on our roadways every year. When another party’s negligence, recklessness, or wrongdoing causes or contributes to an accident, they can be held liable for the resulting property damage, injury, and death. By law, motor vehicle operators are responsible for exercising reasonable care while on the roads. Failure to exercise such responsibility is considered to be “negligence”.

Furthermore, automobile defects, road hazards, weather, and malfunctioning traffic signals can also cause or contribute to car accidents. If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed in a motor vehicle accident, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your interests and determine the best way to proceed and to protect yourself.
