Unexplained Car Accidents

Many people have seen videos and photos of unexplained car accidents. Sometimes an image or video can become a viral spectacle on the internet, leaving viewers fascinated by the unexplained accident, shrouded in mystery. It can be hard to figure out what happened or how the accident occurred, but someone may have ended up seriously hurt or dealing with significant vehicle damage.

Were you recently hurt in a devastating car accident but are unsure what happened or why you're the one suffering the consequences? Too many people wind up hurt in preventable accidents every single year. You should not have to suffer the consequences because of someone else's negative actions. A consultation with an experienced and qualified personal injury lawyer may be able to help you figure out what to do, and a knowledgeable unexplained car accidents lawyer may be able to research the causes of your accident and help you recover compensation for your injuries.

While some accidents may truly be accidents that don’t have a liable party, that’s usually not the case for two-car crashes. If you can show that someone else caused an accident, you may be able to use this information to recover compensation.

Why Would a Car Accident Be Unexplained?

If you wind up in the hospital emergency room or urgent care after a serious accident, you may not realize what even happened. Some people are rendered unconscious, go into shock, or otherwise do not remember the details of a particular accident. It can be shocking for you to realize that you have suffered in an accident, but it can also be very difficult for you to even begin to gather the evidence needed to make a comprehensive personal injury claim. 

You may have grounds to file for compensation and damages for your payments, such as your medical bills, your lost wages while you miss time at work, and other damages as well. But it can be very hard to do this and to prove negligence if you don't recall what happened in the car accident yourself. In the confusion of an accident, your immediate concern should be your well-being, which means you don’t have the personal resources and clear mind to begin to investigate the scene of your accident for evidence against the negligent party who caused the accident.

When working with a qualified and dedicated attorney, however, you can put yourself in a much better position. Your attorney can help to investigate the cause of the accident and can help discover other crucial details that could help you to recover the compensation you deserve.

If the other person or people involved in the crash stopped at the scene, there's a good chance that you already have access to their contact information if it was gathered by you directly, someone else in your vehicle, or by the police for a police report. You can then use this information to file a lawsuit and to consult with your insurance company about your benefits. Depending on whether or not you live in a no-fault state or a state that requires you to carry personal injury protection coverage, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries either through your own insurance coverage or through the other party's insurance coverage. 

Because there are so many complex legal factors at play, an unexplained car accidents lawyer may be needed to research the scene.

What Are Kinds of Injuries From Unexplained Car Accidents?

Unexplained car accidents can run the spectrum from one-vehicle crashes to multiple car pileups. Injuries suffered from these unexplained accidents can range from minor, such as wrist or foot injuries, bruising, or small cuts and scrapes, to severe, such as broken bones, limb loss, or spinal cord injuries.

What Is Accident Reconstruction?

After an accident, you may not have been able to gather photos, videos, or contact information for eyewitnesses. Since these are often cornerstone pieces of evidence in a personal injury claim, you may feel as though you're facing an uphill battle to attempt to recover compensation for your injuries. However, hiring lawyers like those at Morgan & Morgan can make a big difference in your ability to win compensation and to show how the accident happened as well as who was responsible. 

Our knowledgeable unexplained car accident lawyers work with extensive networks of people who have expertise in reconstructing the scenes of accidents. By looking at video footage, photos, and the scene of the accident itself, we can replicate the accident through various simulations and help others to understand how the accident happened. This may be extremely important for you to be able to recover compensation for your injuries. 

Even if you are unsure how the accident happened, such as whether you were hit from the side or the back or from where the other driver or obstacle came, our accident reconstruction experts that we work with are highly experienced in crafting these materials and helping to retell the story. Accident reconstruction experts not only help to prepare this information for us to review in settlement conversations but may also serve as expert witnesses during your personal injury claim.

How to Determine Liability?

Each driver owes a duty of care to other drivers on the road. When someone fails to adhere to this duty of care, such as engaging in negligent behavior like aggressive driving, distracted driving, drunk driving, or other actions, they could be held responsible for accidents they cause and resulting injuries. 

You may be eligible to recover compensation, but it is very important that you work with a qualified attorney who can help you identify the evidence in your case, which insurance companies may be involved, and potentially liable parties. You may have grounds against more than one liable party. For example, if part of the accident was caused by a defective auto part, you may have a third-party liability claim against the maker or manufacturer of that part. These claims can become especially complex, which is why an unexplained car accidents lawyer at Morgan & Morgan may be necessary for protecting the full range of your rights. We recognize that it can be hard to proceed with these personal injury claims on your own, but a qualified and knowledgeable attorney is there to help support you with your next steps and help you understand what is needed in order to file a claim.

How to File Your Claim Before It’s Too Late?

Too many victims find out after the fact that they need to file a lawsuit in a timely manner. Each state has specific rules known as the statute of limitations that require you to file a lawsuit promptly. You may need to file a lawsuit within two to four years after the accident, but this timeline is reduced if you allege that a government entity is responsible for your injuries, such as claiming that the government agency did not fully repair or appropriately install safety features like guard rails or that the road itself was unfit for travel. 

Is a Lawyer Really Necessary?

You might think that it's as simple as contacting your insurance company and letting them know you've been in an accident, but that's not always the case.
