Determining who is at fault.

Determining who is at fault in an automobile accident is a mater of deciding who was negligent. Fault issues can be complicated and our firm will use years of experience in reviewing several different sources, in proving fault, such as traffic laws, police reports and witness interviews. The Courts look at several issues in determining whether a driver was negligent, including but not limited to:

• disobeying signs and signals
• driving above or below posted speed limits
• following too closely
• failure to keep a careful lookout
• failure to adjust for weather or traffic conditions
• driving on the wrong side of the road
• driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Information to be obtained and preserved.

• Obtain from anyone who witnessed the accident their name, telephone number and address.
• The driver's name, telephone number and address.
• The driver's insurance information, including company name and policy number.
• Year, make, model and license number of the other car.
• Take photographs from various angles of the accident scene, your vehicle, other vehicles involved and any visible injuries you sustained.
• The name of the police officer and the name of the officer's police department.
• Seek proper medical attention if you suspect you are injured and retain all documentation regarding your treatment.

If a person has been injured or you believe they may have been injured in an automobile accident, then seeking medical attention immediately is important. Car accident claims for injuries resulting from an accident, will many times depend upon medical records linking the automobile accident to the injuries received. Some types of injuries resulting from a car accident could include, neck injury, whiplash, head injury, brain injury and back injury.

Wrongful Death

The wrongful death of a loved one is a heart-wrenching experience, which leaves behind not only the loss of love, companionship and relationship, but can also often have enormous and devastating financial consequences.

Many times, a wrongful death can be the result of a serious car accident, motorcycle accident or tractor-trailer accident. We understand that if a loved one has suffered an untimely death in an accident at the hands of another, it is an ongoing tragedy for the entire family. Receiving just compensation will not replace the loss of a loved one, but may help alleviate the financial burden and help the family move on with their lives.
