Your Auto Accident

Auto accidents can be attributed to various causes, and often there are several factors that contribute to a single accident. For that reason, it can take time to establish fault for an accident. The auto accident lawyers at our firm have years of experience investigating auto accidents, and representing victims. Such expertise is vital if all parties responsible for an auto accident are going to be held accountable for the injuries and damages they caused.

The actions of a driver play a huge role in most auto accidents. About 40 percent of car accident fatalities occur because of a drunken driver. Another 30 percent of car accident fatalities can be attributed to driving above the speed limits and well over 33 percent occur because of reckless driving. Driver errors, such as failure to yield the right of way, following too closely, driving at excessive speeds, unsafe passing, and disregard of a traffic control device, also cause many auto accidents. Finally, distracted drivers – those who are talking on their cell phones, changing the radio, etc. – are responsible for many auto accidents.

When you are involved in an auto accident, it is important to act quickly to obtain legal representation. Most states have a statute of limitations governing how soon an auto accident claim must be filed after an auto accident for it to be valid.

Missing any of these deadlines makes it impossible to file a lawsuit. The best thing any car accident victim can do is to contact a qualified auto accident attorney at once to see if they have a valid claim.
