Negligent driving accounts for a majority of automobile accidents, some of which may lead to serious car accident injuries, pain and suffering and possibly wrongful death. Additionally, aggressive and reckless driving may lead to accidents on the roads as well. Our office will assist with your case with the preliminary investigation from obtaining police reports through final settlement, including if your case goes to trial. We determine the at fault party or parties based on several theories of law available to injured parties, and if there is coverage-set up your claim with the adjuster, and obtain the documentation necessary to provide you with the best recovery. In some instances, the other driver may not have adequate coverage or fails to carry enough coverage to compensate you for your injuries, medical bills or damages. If this situation exists, we then review your own insurance policy to establish if you have Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM coverage) or Personal Injury Protection (PIP) that would apply to your case. If so, we will be glad to represent you in your uninsured or underinsured motorist claim as well. Distracted driving is at an all time high. From utilizing the phone to looking away from the road for just a second to change the radio stations, these actions can lead to serious injury and damage while driving at excessive speeds. Drivers are obligated to other drivers to operate their vehicle in a reasonable and prudent manner. If you have been in a collision as a result of a distracted driver, call our firm for a no cost consultation.

Step 4: DO NOT accept or assign blame. It is sometimes natural to assign or accept blame right after an accident but this is a crucial mistake and can be used against you later on.
Step 5: You’ll need to collect information from the other driver involved in the accident. This includes identification, insurance information, and any contact information they may have. If the other party is unwilling to share his or her information do not get into an altercation with them. The police officers should be able to meditate the exchange of information.
