Before making any statements to the insurance company, it is important to speak with an experienced car and truck accident lawyer, so you fully understand your rights and options.

Common Reasons for Car and Truck Accidents

There are numerous causes of motor vehicle crashes. Some of the most common include:

• Speeding
• Reckless Driving
• Distracted Driving
• DUI/DWI
• Driving While Drowsy
• Mechanical Defects
• Poor Weather

Accidents involving commercial trucks are some of the most deadly. Sadly, many truck accidents are the result of the driver or trucking company cutting corners because of pressure to deliver their loads on time. When this occurs, our lawyer performs thorough investigations early on to ensure that all critical evidence is preserved and those responsible are held fully accountable.

What to Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident

After an auto accident, the insurance company for the other party will often ask you to give a recorded statement about the incident, or they may give you a settlement offer before you have a chance to fully assess your injuries. Prior to entertaining any offer from an insurance company, you must consider several questions, including:

• How will you pay for ongoing medical expenses?
• How much time have you missed from work?
• Do you have a disability that might keep you from returning to work?
• What about the emotional pain and suffering you and your family have endured as a result of the accident?
