Common Causes For Car Crashes

Car Accidents
Many people take their cars out for spins without ever experiencing stressful and overwhelming crashes. However, they are the lucky ones. These instances are far and few between as most folks will be involved in a collision at some point in their driving careers. The incidents are unpleasant to say the very least. Some individuals don't get hurt, but others sustain life-changing injuries. Auto accidents often lead to...• Property Damage
• Lacerations, Punctures, Internal Bleeding
• Spine And Brain Injuries
• Fractures And Broken Bones
• Loss Of Life
If you or a loved one receive such wounds, you may be entitled to a fair amount of compensation for the damages. Some of the reasons why people seek these lawsuits include recklessness, negligence, road design, and manufacturer liability. When a person gets involved in a car crash, he or she usually has to miss some time from work. Of course, the bills don't stop coming through the mail at this time. Rather, new ones start coming in for doctor visits, procedures, and medications.
The entire ordeal is pretty staggering as the victim doesn't have a paycheck coming in and must worry about how these expenses are going to get paid. Luckily, St. Petersburg citizens don't have to be stuck with this debt. If it can be proven that another party was partially or fully to blame for the injuries, they can hire a lawyer to obtain a settlement.
The amount will vary on a case by case basis, and it is not likely to get every person rich. However, it is perfect for offsetting the recovery costs, helping the individual pay for necessities, and getting them back on their feet again. Various factors determine compensation such as...
• Current And Future Medical Expenses
• Lost Wages
• Punitive Damages
• Pain And Suffering
So, don't sit idly by hoping for things to get better, especially when health and recovery are concerns. Instead, put a proven commodity in your corner to get the money that you deserve. Plus, our firm offers free case reviews, which means the client knows where their claim stands up front. Additionally, these lawsuits are paid on a contingency fee basis. In other words, if no settlement is awarded, you don't pay. Thus, there is nothing to lose and plenty to gain.
Things That Lead To Accidents
Driving Under The Influence Of Alcohol Or Drugs
Everybody knows that drinking or doing drugs and driving don't mix. Still, a lot of people tend to partake in the activities anyway. They often lose focus and their ability to control the vehicle safely. It swerves from lane to lane and in and out of traffic. The best way of handling the situation is by avoiding these cars at all costs. Keep your distance and contact the police department about the unsafe conditions on the roadway. However, stuff happens, and if you happen to get into a collision with one of these drivers, just know that legal help is only a phone call away.
Speeding
For some reason, drivers across the nation, including those here in Florida, like to put the pedal to the metal every time that get inside a car. The action usually doesn't allow them to get places faster as they get stuck in traffic and caught by red lights along the way. The speed limit signs have a purpose, and they are not merely decorations. They assure that all motorists travel at a safe pace to prevent accidents from occurring. Folks still do the deed though, so if a collision happens due to someone moving at an unsafe speed, contact our office to discover your legal options.
Improper Maintenance
There are lots and lots of home and shade-tree mechanics out there. They work on the vehicles and keep them maintained to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, their best isn't always the best though. Parts such as bumpers, hoods, or even wheels can come flying off while the car is traveling down the road. If your auto happens to be nearby, these items can slam into the windshield, door panel, or somewhere else. Hold the person accountable by giving one of our attorneys a call today.
