Protecting the Rights of the Catastrophically Injured – Ross Feller Casey, LLP

Automobile Litigation

More car accident claims are filed than claims for any other type of personal injury. Statistics show that approximately 6,420,000 cars were involved in accidents in the US in 2005, with around 2.9 million injury cases and 42,636 car accident deaths.

Many car accidents occur as a result of reckless or negligent driving. Nearly half of all serious injuries such as traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury take place during motor vehicle accidents. Hiring an attorney at the onset of a car accident can prove invaluable. An experienced personal injury lawyer knows the intricacies of traffic laws, can determine where the liability rests in a car accident, and has teams of available experts, such as physicians, accident reconstructionists, and road safety professionals to testify on behalf of their clients.

Years of experience in dealing with insurance companies also makes attorneys skilled in predicting how an insurance company will pay a claim and knowledgeable in discerning when a negotiated settlement will result in maximum compensation or when taking the case to trial is the only viable alternative.

However, negligent driving is not the only underlying cause of serious car accidents. Unsafe vehicles as a result of manufacturing defects result in rollovers, roof crush accidents and seat belt injuries. SUVs and vans that are top heavy are subject to rollovers. Car roofs should be able to withstand a rollover without crushing. Some air bags don’t operate effectively and either open unexpectedly, fail to open, or open with too much force. Seat belts, such as lap belts, have been known to cause abdominal injuries and have resulted in severe injuries for children.
