Personal Injury Cases

Auto accidents can have a profound impact on all those involved

Unintentional accidents are one of the leading causes of death and injury in the United States. They can have severe, long lasting consequences for those involved. Following an auto accident, victims, in addition to their injuries, may suffer from medical expenses, lost wages, funeral expenses, property damage, loss of use of their vehicle, towing expenses, future medical needs, and pain and suffering.

Most people at some point in their life will be involved in an motor vehicle accident, whether it be in a car as a driver, passenger, in a truck, on a bus, on a bicycle, or as a pedestrian and will be faced with decisions on what to do after an acccident. If you are not at fault in an accident, it is a good idea to consider speaking to an attorney would be able to assist you. However, their fees can be expensive and attorneys typically only handle accidents where the injured person is not at fault and incurs at least several thousand dollars in medical bills. For example, if you were in an accident but sustained very minor injuries incurring only a few hundred dollars in medical bills, typically an attorney would not take your case as their would be insufficient damages to pursue. Typically, personal injury cases are evaluated based on the person’s injuries and the amount of medical treatment incurred. The larger the damages, the more valuable the case is. An attorney would not want to spend numerous hours on a case to only make a few hundred dollars. It is not good business and may be a disservice to the client as well.
