No Traffic Accident Is Simple Without A Car Accident Injury Attorney.

Car crashes; traffic accidents. We see why they happen every day. The driver in the car next to us dialing his cell phone and smoking a cigarette while driving with his elbows; the little sports car flying out of a parking lot into traffic paying no attention to the cars around him; the woman speeding down the freeway while intently puckering into her rearview mirror in order to apply her lipstick; a teenage boy racing through the intersection after the light turned red; the drunk driver swerving in and out of lanes; and the countless number of drivers that just turn left whenever they want. We see them and get out of their way. At least, we try. Unfortunately, we don’t always see them and can’t always get out of their way.

As your experienced car accident law firm, we know that cases arising out of automobile accidents are by far the most common type of personal injury case in our court system today. This is not surprising given that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that every 10 seconds, someone in the United States is involved in a car accident. Automobile accidents continue to be the leading cause of death in the United States for people ages three to 33. After what we all see on a daily basis, it is a wonder that more innocent people are not killed. Traffic accidents not only end lives, but they also cause injuries that can affect the rest of your life.

Chances are that if you are on this website and looking for the right attorney, you or someone you love has been injured or killed when someone else’s negligent or reckless driving caused a car accident.

Automobile collision cases have become far more complicated than they were just 10 years ago. The insurance companies have hired the best car accident lawyers to raise and address potential issues of comparative responsibility, overlapping insurance coverage, insurance claim issues, subrogation, and uninsured motorist coverage. Generally, the applicable law surrounding automobile collision cases includes negligence, gross negligence, negligence per se, strict products liability, “dram shop” laws, and respondeat superior claims. There is no such thing as a “simple auto accident.” As such, to get the most value out of your injury claim or settlement, it is important that your hire the right car accident injury lawyer.

Fault and liability issues are complicated. At The Spitz Law Firm, an experienced car accident attorney will look to a number of sources, such as police reports, state and city traffic laws, and witnesses, to help you determine who was at fault for your accident. Indeed, depending on the circumstances of your case, we may be able to extend liability, and thus, the amount recoverable, to individuals that were not directly involved in the accident, or to legally responsible companies. Your car accident attorney will at companies that employ the negligent driver; bars and restaurants that served alcohol to intoxicated drivers; and the owners of the vehicles; among several other possibilities.

Many car accident victims hope that the insurance companies involved will try to settle their car accident injury cases promptly and fairly, but insurance companies' obligations are to their stockholders and policyholders, not to you. Thus, it is not only their job, but their obligation, to reduce the value of your claim. Insurance companies have enormous advantages: vast wealth, experience in this type of claim, and armies of sharp, experienced adjustors, private investigators, experts and attorneys. They can cite to dozens of legal technicalities in an attempt to reduce or deny your injury settlement. It is also not that uncommon for these insurance adjusters to call injured car accident victims at their homes trying to get recorded statements about the extent of their injuries before an attorney can explain the legal implications of their questions. Some insurance companies even go so far as to send adjusters to the home of injured victims to get a recorded statement in person, take pictures of the injuries and offer small amounts of money to settle the case. By doing this, the insurance companies gain an unfair advantage before the injured person has a chance to consult with a car accident injury attorney.
