Common Causes of Car Injuries

Aggressive driving, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, fatigue, road conditions, speeding, and reckless driving are all common causes of car injuries.

As car Injury lawyers at Morgan & Morgan can tell you, it may be necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of a car accident to determine what happened in your case. Car injury lawyers are powerful advocates for victims who have been hurt in an accident but may not have been able to understand what happened to cause the crash or were not able to gather evidence at the scene. 

Car injury lawyers may dispatch accident reconstruction teams to look at things on the road, such as the placement of debris, skid marks, and the overall conditions in that area of the road. This may be necessary to tell the story of what happened in the vehicle accident and can be crucial for protecting your rights in full.

When Is Third-Party Liability an Issue?

Most car accidents include two vehicles, and one of those vehicles may have been in the wrong at the time the accident occurred. For example, someone may have run through a red light, may not have had the right of way but attempted to make a turn, may have been speeding excessively, or may have been tailgating behind someone, ultimately causing a rear-end or another type of accident. 

However, there are other circumstances when third-party liability may come into play. One such example is if a defective part in your vehicle caused mechanical problems that led to an accident. 

Your car injury lawyer can look at your vehicle and determine any other aspects of liability, such as whether the person who hit you was driving for work at the time. In that situation, you may have grounds to pursue compensation against the employer of that party. 

As you can see, there are many different complex factors associated with the recovery of compensation, and you may not even understand everything at play in your case until you've had the opportunity to speak to a qualified attorney. A dedicated and qualified car injury lawyer is someone who should have handled cases like this before for victims, including resolving them outside of court or taking them all the way through to trial. Most car injury lawyers will have appropriate experience and resources to help explain to you what to expect at every stage of your case. This can be a significant benefit to you when you're dealing with major problems in your lawsuit. 

Won't My Insurance Company Just Help Me?

It is not guaranteed that your insurance company will directly help you with your car injury claim. As a car injury lawyer can tell you, many insurance companies are determined to protect their bottom line and train insurance claims adjusters to focus on this rather than what's best for you. 

You may assume that as a paying customer who purchased insurance—not just to comply with the law but to protect your own interests in the event you were ever involved in a lawsuit—you'll be fully covered with no problems if an accident happens. Unfortunately, as far too many victims who have hired car injury lawyers can tell you, it is not always easy to get the insurance company to hold up their end of the bargain. 

Your lawyer can help to communicate with the insurance carrier and claims adjuster, provide additional evidence, and streamline the management of your claim. This may be essential for you to recover compensation in a timely fashion, as most people who are seriously injured in an accident are not able to respond to email and phone communication due to the pain or medical treatments they're coping with.

What Else Can Car Injury Lawyers Help With?

Car injury lawyers can manage numerous aspects of your personal injury claim. Your attorney can gather valuable evidence, such as police reports, medical records, and eyewitness statements, and can also explain to you other steps and processes, like a demand letter, communication with the insurance company, settlement negotiations, or even trial. 

This can be very helpful for building a successful case but also can offer you peace of mind and confidence—without having to worry about the additional stress of handling your case on your own while also dealing with your injuries. 

The car injury lawyers at Morgan & Morgan handle situations like this every day and have earned our nationwide reputation for fighting hard against insurance companies and at-fault parties because we believe that no victim should have to suffer and navigate this process alone. We make it our goal to provide clients with personalized attention so that you're never unsure of what's happening with your personal injury claim. We'll also keep you up to date if there are important developments in your case, such as the offer of a settlement. 

How Do I Pay My Lawyer? 

Unfortunately, far too many people avoid getting help from an experienced injury lawyer because they are concerned about being able to afford the lawyer's services. At Morgan & Morgan, our personal injury lawyers are different—the Fee Is Free™, and you only pay if we win your case. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means that we receive a portion of the final award or settlement. 

This means that if your attorney is not successful in recovering a settlement or in winning your case, you do not pay them for your services.

When to Get Legal Help From Car Injury Lawyers 

If you have relatively minor injuries or are able to come to a conclusion with your insurance company about a fair and reasonable settlement, you may not need the involvement of a qualified car injury lawyer. However, many people with catastrophic or significant injuries need the additional assistance of an outside party to help negotiate the settlement—it is far too often that what an insurance company offers doesn’t even begin to cover the expenses.

If you're dealing with significant fallout in your personal or professional life because of this accident, or if your doctor says that you may need extensive treatment such as surgery, you may need to hire car injury lawyers who can help show how someone else's negligence contributed to or entirely caused your accident and the resulting medical conditions. 

Many people who are seriously injured in vehicle accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents have a vested interest in moving on to the next chapter of their life—but also want to know that their attorney is going to do everything possible to help them recover compensation. 

Morgan & Morgan car injury lawyers will fight hard to make sure that you're not taken advantage of in this complex process. Contact Morgan & Morgan today for a free, no-obligation case evaluation to get started.
