We make sure at-fault drivers are held responsible for car accidents due to drunk driving, driver error, or other forms of reckless driving. Auto manufacturers are held responsible for auto defects or malfunctions, and faulty manufacturing. Whether you’re a driver, pedestrian, or bicyclist injured in an auto accident, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries. That compensation includes medical expenses, time off work, and the physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering you’ve endured.
With years of experience successfully litigating auto accident cases, our attorneys ensure you receive compensation, justice, and peace of mind. We understand the complexities of your case and the importance of getting on the road to physical, emotional, and financial healing as quickly as possible. Additionally, we look for the initial cause of the automobile accident. Understanding those contributing factors is important to establishing fault.

What To Do If You’ve Been The Victim of An Car Accident
The very first thing you should do following a car accident is call the police. They can ensure that any injured parties receive the medical attention they need as quickly as possible. Even in the absence of physical injuries, the police should still be the first call you make. Next, exchange names, insurance information, and license plate numbers with the other driver. Avoid any further discussion, especially discussion of who was at fault. Since many injuries related to an auto accident may not seem immediately apparent, avoid discussing injuries as well. Do take pictures of the accident scene, if possible. Make sure your pictures include photos of all cars involved in the accident, varying angles of each vehicle, and license plates. If possible, capture traffic signs and road conditions as well.
Once you’ve received the medical attention you need, contact an attorney with experience handling car accidents. The insurance company for the at-fault driver will contact you. Avoid making any statements, signing any paper work, or agreeing to any settlement offers before consulting an attorney. Typically, their only interest is paying as little as possible to settle your claim. Our only interest is making sure you are fairly and fully compensated.
