Most Common Types Of Auto Accidents & Their Causes
The term “auto accident” is a broad umbrella that covers car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and others; however, the overwhelming majority of people who are injured in accidents in their lifetime will be involved in passenger car accidents. Most car accidents are caused by driver inattention, speeding, or purely bad driving (unsafe lane changing, unsafe merging, failing to yield right of way, following too closely leading to rear-end crashes, etc.). There are unfortunately many car crashes every year our Arlington auto accident lawyers encounter that are caused by drunk drivers, or by road rage. Some car accidents can be caused by a vehicle malfunction, but most of the time, driver error is the major contributing factor.
Being Injured In An Auto Accident Can Be Expensive
Injuries sustained in an auto accident can be extremely costly, depending on the type of accident and on the extent of your injuries. You may have to pay for the expenses related to:
- Ambulatory or air transport to a local emergency room after the collision
- Emergency room or intensive unit care
- Surgery or multiple surgeries
- Hospitalization (including a multi-night or multi-week hospital stay)
- Rehabilitation at a separate facility
- Copays
- Deductibles
- Chiropractic care
- Physical therapy
- Casting, boots, crutches, wheelchairs, or other medical devices
- Medications (both over the counter and prescription)
- And more.
Some injuries may never fully heal, requiring lifelong treatment or leaving you permanently disabled. Even if you have good health insurance, the out of pocket costs could still be astronomical! You may have to take weeks or even months off of work to recover, using up paid sick days or personal days or vacation time you would otherwise have been able to obtain. You may go unpaid for weeks or months, or you may not even be able to return to the same career/position you had before the accident. You may not ever be able to work and earn a wage again.
The total tangible costs of your auto accident could add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the emotional toll the accident takes on you could cost you other expensive things – your peace, your sleep, your enjoyment of basic activities, your ability to travel easily, etc.
We Can Help You Recover Maximum Compensation For Your Injuries
Our Arlington auto accident lawyers realize that it's not fair that you should be stuck with the full burden of the crash if someone else was at fault - them, or their insurance company, or your own in some cases, should compensate you! However, insurance companies are rarely willing to pay you the full amount that your injuries are worth because they lose money when they do so. They care more about their bottom line than your best interests, and that's why it's so important to have legal representation.
Our attorneys will investigate the crash and gather all of the necessary evidence and paperwork. We can help you file a claim correctly, or if you have already done so and have had your claim denied or devalued, communicate and negotiate with the insurance company for a settlement that accurately reflects your needs. We can also take the insurance company or responsible party to court, if necessary. We'll keep you informed and answer all of your questions so you can stay in the loop with what's happening in your case!
