We have successfully represented many car crash victims, obtaining many millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements, including in complex cases involving uninsured and underinsured motorists, bad faith insurance claim denials, and cases in which the drivers or passengers weren't wearing seat belts.

While each case is unique, there are some common behaviors that contribute to car accidents:

  • Driver inattention or distraction, including the increasingly common but deadly behavior of using a cell phone or texting while driving
  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Tailgating
  • Disregard for stop signs and red lights
  • Turning improperly (sudden left-hand turns; turning right across a crosswalk without looking)
  • Unsafe lane changes; failing to check one's blind spot
  • Speeding

The fact that these behaviors are common does not mean they are acceptable. Drivers are always expected to be paying attention and to be in control of their vehicles.

Our car accident lawyers prepare every case as if it will go to trial. By preparing for trial we are ready to negotiate from a position of strength. If negotiations do not yield a good settlement offer, we're ready to fight in court. We handle all personal injury cases from inception through settlement negotiations, trial, and any necessary appeals.

We provide a free initial consultation, and all our auto accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, so there are no legal fees unless we collect compensation for your injuries.

Sample Car Crash Case Results
