Seasoned Representation for Auto Accident Claims

Whether you have been seriously injured in a car crash or lost a loved one due to another driver’s negligence, our team has the resources and knowledge to help you seek fair compensation for your losses.

We have experience handling a broad range of auto accident claims, including those involving:

Hit-and-Run Accidents:

How the Law Defines Hit and Run

A driver who strikes another car, pedestrian, or property of another must stop to identify him or herself and call for help if anyone was injured. One of the most important elements to note about hit and run cases is that fault does not factor in when determining someone is guilty of the offense. So, even if the individual was not at-fault for the accident, he or she could still be guilty of leaving the scene.

Fleeing the scene is a serious offense and is punishable by the law. The individual may be convicted of a felony, and be forced to pay the consequences of felony-level charges. Unfortunately, this does nothing to provide restitution to the victims. If you have been hurt, our legal team can guide you through this ordeal. From investigation to settlement, and every step necessary to take care of your case, we are prepared to stand firm for you.

Head-on Collisions:

A head-on collision can happen in a variety of ways and from any number of causes. If the party which struck you was acting negligently in some way, we may be able to hold them accountable through an injury claim.

Causes of head-on collisions can include:

• Improper passing
• Disobeying traffic signs and signals
• Distracted driving
• Poor weather conditions
• Loss of control of the vehicle
• Fatigued driving
• Driving while intoxicated

Types of Car Accidents

In a study published by the CDC, people living in Alabama were twice as likely as the rest of the nation to die in car crashes. Some car accidents can occur due to unfavorable weather conditions or poorly maintained roads while others can happen due to driver negligence. If you were injured, or if your loved one was killed in a car accident due to the negligence of another, you can take legal action.

Common Reasons for Car Accidents:

• Drowsy Driving
• Testing
• Alcohol
• Speeding
• Reckless Driving

Categories of Car Accidents

Single Vehicle Accidents – these types of car accidents can occur for a number or reasons. A driver may have dozed off while driving, or swerved out of the way of an animal or object in the road.

Multiple Car Accidents –When more than one car is involved there are many factors that could have caused the accident. Poor visibility caused by weather, inattention or reckless driving could cause an accident.

Head-On Collisions –victims of head-on collisions are lucky if they survive. Head on collisions is some of the most dangerous collisions due to the amount of damage they can inflict on both the drivers and their vehicles. Head on collisions typically occur on narrow two lane highways and are usually as a result of one driver attempting to pass another slower moving driver without enough time between oncoming cars.

Rollovers –When a car rolls over, it is typically as a result of speeding or taking a corner too hard. SUVs are typically the type of vehicle that rolls over due to their elevation off the ground.

T-Bone Collisions—When a driver suffers injury from a T-Bone accident it is usually due to one driver failing to yield to oncoming traffic when turning left or right. These types of accidents can also be extremely dangerous due to the oncoming traffic usually approaching at higher speeds.

Read-End Collisions- Rear end collisions typically occur due to one driver following too close behind another. Many rear end collisions occur at intersections and in parking lots.
