Car Accidents

Auto accidents are the cause of over 40,000 fatalities each year in this country. With an average of 115 auto accident deaths per day, the annual economic costs attributed to these accidents is approximately $150 billion dollars each year. As a result, it is no surprise that auto accident cases are one of the leading type of personal injury lawsuits being filed in the civil court system these days. Typically, at least one person is usually injured whenever an auto accident occurs. Furthermore, according to car accident statistics, it is likely that you will be involved in at least one auto accident during your life. That is why it is important that your legal rights are protected immediately.

If you get into an auto accident, call the police at once and file a police report of the accident. The purpose of the police report is so insurance companies can determine liability. Therefore, make sure the police report is complete and thorough, including the names, addresses, license plate numbers and phone numbers of all parties involved and witnesses of the accident. Also, gather as much information on your own as possible by conducting your own interviews and take pictures only if it is safe to do so. Most importantly, seek medical assistance if you are injured as soon as possible. Postponing your medical treatment can have negative consequences, both physically and legally.

The most common types of auto accident injuries include whiplash, joint and muscle pain, broken bones, paralysis, and head and brain injury. Most states allow those who have been injured in an auto accident to be compensated for pain and suffering, disability and disfigurement, scarring, emotional distress, wrongful death and loss of enjoyment to relationships and life. Furthermore, ‘economic’ damages may be allowable for past and future medical bills, lost wages and earning potential, and out-of-pocket expenses. The law can be very complicated and handling these claims alone can be overwhelming for an auto accident victim. However, you should not go at it alone. If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto accident, make sure a qualified attorney protects your legal rights. At the Law Office of Thomas L. Young, we will find an experienced attorney that will evaluate your case and make sure you are properly compensated.
