Types of Car Accidents
There are many different types of car accidents that affect insurance claims differently. Accidents caused by negligence are usually the fault of one person and that person may have to pay restitution to the other people affected. Additionally, car accidents in which someone was killed may be tried for vehicular manslaughter in court. Read more about types of car accidents...
Car Accident Injuries
If you have been injured in a car accident, it is extremely important that you speak with an attorney and seek medical attention for your injuries right away.

Auto Product Liability
In some cases, a car accident is not the result of one driver's negligence, but of faulty equipment in one of the driver's cars. In this case, the auto company may be held liable for the damages that have been suffered by the people involved in an accident. Often times, companies are aware of faulty equipment, but do not recall vehicles because of the cost. Read more about auto product liability...
Single Vehicle Accident
If you were involved in a single vehicle accident, you may have been operating the vehicle and something may have caused the accident, such as debris in the road or faulty auto equipment. Or, you may have been a pedestrian or by-stander and may have been injured or involved in some way. Even though only one car was involved, that does not necessarily mean only one person. Read more about single vehicle accidents...
Multi-Vehicle Accident
A multi-vehicle accident, as the name suggest, is an accident with more than one car involved. These accidents are the most complicated legally, because there are several insurance companies and third parties involved. Determining whose fault the accident was can be difficult. If you are involved in a multi-vehicle accident, you need to contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights and assets. Read more about multi-vehicle accidents...
Rear-End Accident
If you were in a car accident in which you were rear-ended, this is most likely the fault of the driver that read-ended you. We rely on watching the cars ahead of us, and assume that drivers behind us are doing the same thing. Many rear-ending accidents are unavoidable on your part and you may be able to seek compensation through insurance. Read more about rear-end accidents...
Head-On Accident
Head-on accidents are extremely dangerous. In a head on accident, the people in the front seat of the car are the most vulnerable. You may suffer injuries if the airbag is deployed, or even worse, if the airbag does not deploy. Many head-on accidents occur at high speeds, when there is not enough time to react. Contact an attorney if you were involved in a head-on accident. Read more about head-on accidents...
T-Bone Accident
A T-bone accident is when a car crashes into another car perpendicularly. This usually means one car crashed into the side of another car, near the driver door or passenger door. These accidents are extremely dangerous for the passenger that is seated on the side where the impact occurs. If you were the victim of such an accident, contact an attorney today. Read more about T-bone accidents...
Rollover Accident
A rollover accident occurs when an automobile is caused to rollover with passengers trapped inside. This can be the result of making a sharp turn at a high speed. Often, this may have been the result of trying to avoid a head-on collision with another vehicle. SUVs and taller automobiles are more likely to rollover in an accident because they have a higher center of gravity that doesn't handle sharp turns as well. Read more about rollover accidents...
Side-Impact Crash
A side-impact is usually, but not always, the fault of the person who crashes into another car. If you were hit in a side-impact crash, you may be able to seek compensation through insurance from the individual who hit you. Side-impact crashes are dangerous because there is less to protect passengers on the side of a vehicle than in the front or back. Read more about side-impact crashes...
Car-Truck Accident
An accident that involves a car and a truck is usually worse for the car involved, simply because a truck is so much bigger. If you were involved in an accident involving a truck, be it a pickup truck or an 18-wheeler, contact an attorney today. 18-wheeler trucks have good insurance, and they will try their hardest to not be forced to pay out compensation. You need an attorney. Read more about car-truck accidents...
Causes of Car Accidents
Often times, car accidents are caused by the negligence of one driver. A driver may be under the influence, or distracted by another passenger or talking on their cell phone. Other times, outside forces such as weather, road conditions, pedestrians, or debris in the road can cause accidents that are not the fault of any of the drivers involved. If you were in an accident, it is important to contact an attorney today. Read more about causes of car accidents...
Car Accident Insurance Claim
If you were involved in a car accident and you, or the other people involved, require compensation for injuries or damages sustained, it is important to talk to an attorney about filing an insurance claim.
