Legal Help for Car Crash Victims

We work to ensure that those who are involved in car accidents can pursue compensation from a negligent driver. We assist with car wrecks involving:

• Traffic violations - In many cases, accidents occur because drivers disobeyed traffic laws. Violations such as speeding, tailgating, illegal turns, or disobeying traffic signals can all increase the chances of a dangerous collision, and a driver who committed a violation may be held liable for injuries and damages that occurred because they acted unsafely.
• Drunk driving - Drivers may become intoxicated due to the use of alcohol, controlled substances, prescription drugs, or a combination of multiple substances. This can affect a driver's ability to react to conditions on the road or control their vehicle safely, which may lead to dangerous or deadly accidents.
• Distracted driving - Multiple types of distractions, such as talking or texting on a cell phone, conversing with passengers, reaching for objects in the vehicle, eating and drinking, or adjusting the radio and vehicle controls, can affect a driver's ability to notice and respond to conditions on the road around them. A driver may be held liable for an accident that occurred because they did not fully pay attention to the road.
• Defective auto parts - Mechanical failures or inadequate maintenance may have made a car unsafe to drive, and accidents may occur because of faulty brakes, tires, steering systems, or engine components. Victims may be able to pursue compensation from a negligent vehicle or auto parts manufacturer.

Pursuing Compensation for Truck Wrecks

Negligent truck drivers, trucking companies, or other parties may be held liable for injuries that occur in truck accidents. We work with victims to address truck crashes involving:

• Driver fatigue - Truck drivers may become drowsy after spending long hours on the road, and accidents may occur if they fall asleep at the wheel or are too tired to drive safely.
• Mechanical failures - A lack of proper maintenance may cause a truck's equipment to fail. Truck crashes can occur because of tire blowouts, brake failure, defective trailer couplings, or other issues.
• Loose or falling cargo - Items may shift during travel if they were not loaded or secured properly in a truck's trailer or cargo area, and this may cause a truck driver to lose control of their vehicle. If cargo falls from a truck, it may cause serious injuries when it strikes another vehicle or creates a dangerous obstacle in the road.
