Auto accidents are a reality of life, no matter how skilled or conscientious we are behind the wheel. If you have been hurt in an auto accident, you need the help of a competent, experienced attorney who will act with your best interests in mind. Insurance companies will almost never offer you the best settlement. They hope that you will accept their solution and walk away. To recover everything you deserve, you need a lawyer. Never accept a settlement without consulting one.
Here are some common accident types that insurance companies are eager to settle quickly. If you have been hurt by any of them, be sure you have received adequate medical attention and call an experienced personal injury attorney right away.
Rear-End Collisions often result from distracted driving. Things like texting and talking on cell phones while driving are major contributors to all kinds of accidents, particularly rear-end collisions. These accidents often result in neck and back injuries that vary in severity.
Side-Impact Collisions or “T-Bones” result in side-impact damage to one vehicle when struck from the side by another. Broken bones, head injuries (including concussion) and whiplash are common injuries associated with side-impact collisions.
Sideswipe Collisions occur when two cars traveling parallel to one another collide or rub together. The jarring nature of this kind of collision can result in whiplash and other injuries. It can also cause one or both cars to lose control leading to much more serious injuries.
Head-On Collisions are prone to cause the most serious injuries and often result in fatalities. While these can be some of the worst kinds of accidents, they are also among the easiest ones in which to determine fault. Insurance companies take special care to protect their interests in these cases.
Regardless of the details or type of accident, you need to seek the help of a lawyer if you have been hurt in an auto accident. Insurance companies have lawyers who work tirelessly to protect their interests. You owe it to yourself to have one to protect yours.
