Car Accidents

Each year, there are millions of accidents causing a broad scope of serious injuries and death. Car accidents are by far the most common. National Highway Safety Transportation Administration 2007 statistics show that 2,575,000 motorists and non-motorists were injured in traffic accidents, and 42,642 died in 2006.

Negligent drivers cause a large percentage of highway accidents because they exceed speed limits, eat, use a cell phone, load a CD player or deal with unruly children while driving. Other common causes of car accidents are defects in the roadways, highway construction, faulty tires and equipment, and weather conditions, such as snow and ice or wildlife in the roadway.

Car accidents involve property damage as well as personal injuries. A personal injury refers to physical or mental impairments as opposed to damage to your vehicle or other property, and is a result of the negligence or recklessness of another.

Whether a car or other vehicles or circumstances are involved, and you sustain serious injury, or if someone dies as a result of the accident, as long as negligence can be proved, you may be able to may sue for damages, including medical bills, pain and suffering.
