Car Accidents

Millions of car accidents occur each year, causing a broad range of serious injuries, death and property damage. Whether you refer to the accidents as auto accidents, motor vehicle accidents, automobile accidents, highway accidents, traffic accidents or they rack up billions of dollars in bodily injury and property damage. The most recent 2007 report from the National Highway Safety Transportation Administration (NHSTA) shows 2,575,000 motorists and non-motorists injured in traffic accidents and 42,642 died in 2006.

While driver negligence and irresponsible behavior cause the greatest number accidents on highways, on-going construction, defects in the road, improper signs, faulty tires, rain, ice and snow as well as animals and wildlife in the roadway lead to other accidents. 

Car accidents are often categorized according type such as:

1. Single Car Accident
2. Intersection Crash
3. Rear-end Collision
4. Head-on Collision
5. Multi-Car Pile-Up 
6. Rollovers

If you suffer serious or catastrophic injury in a car accident due to someone else’s wrongful conduct, your injury is categorized as personal injury. Whether a car, other types of vehicles or circumstances are involved, when you can prove negligence, you may file a lawsuit to recover damages such as expenses for medical and rehabilitative care, pain and suffering. If a drunk driver caused the accident, you may also be entitled to punitive damages.
