Motor Vehicle Accidents
This year alone in the U.S.:
- there will be more than 6,000,000 motor
vehicle accidents;
- more than 3,000,000 people will be injured
in these motor vehicle accidents; and
- more than 40,000 people will die as a
result of injuries suffered from these
motor vehicle accidents.
Anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident may experience:
- pain and suffering from the injuries;
- medical expenses incurred in receiving treatment
for the injuries;
- loss of income from a resulting partial or
total inability to work following the injuries;
and
- a loss of the ability to enjoy normal life
experiences due to limitations from the injuries
The most immediate concerns and questions are likely to
revolve around medical bills and the loss of income while
recovering from the injuries sustained. Depending on the
nature of the injuries, however, there may also be
questions about what the future holds. Will there be
permanent problems resulting from your injuries? Will
recovery from the injuries be sufficient to be able
to return to work? These are valid concerns and
appropriate questions.
For some, recovery will be quick and the experience will
be little more than an inconvenience. For others, however,
the injuries will be severe and permanent. It may not be
possible to return to work or even to experience a normal
life.
Motor vehicle accident cases are characterized
by many lawyers as routine.
Insurance companies
and their lawyers count on the fact that most lawyers
will handle motor vehicle cases as routine.
Yet motor vehicle accident cases
are anything but routine. Each accident and
each client’s injuries are unique and may have hidden
complexities. Sufficient evidence must
be developed to demonstrate that someone else was at
fault for the accident. This may require obtaining
police reports, interviewing witnesses, taking
photographs of the scene and the vehicles involved, and
possibly even reconstructing the accident. In addition,
the nature and extent
of your injury must be fully understood before
settlement is even considered. In some cases, it may
be important to have a thorough examination by medical
specialists to determine whether you have any long term
injuries resulting from the accident. When the case is
prepared from the very begining as though it will reach
a trial, you and your
attorney will be in the best position for settlement and
for trial.
