Accident Types

Understanding the type of accident sustained is important when speaking with your Philadelphia or New Jersey auto accident attorney. The common types of accidents are listed below.

Rear-end collisions: These accidents tend to occur when a driver is not paying attention and hits the car in front of them. In this type of accident, the vehicle that is rear-ended is rarely at fault.
Low-speed collisions: These accidents usually do not occur on roads but in locations such as parking lots. It usually consists in the form of one car backing into another.
T-bone collisions: These accidents occur at intersections when one driver runs through a traffic light or stop sign at the same time as another driver is crossing, causing them to collide.
Single-vehicle collisions: These accidents happen when a driver slides off the road, usually a result of icy or dangerous road conditions, and hits a fixed object on the side of the road.

No matter the accident type, you may be suffering from physical, emotional, or financial damages afterward, which makes it important to at least have an initial conversation with a lawyer to be armed with the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision.

How We Work

The Process of Determining Liability in a PA Auto Accident

All drivers have a legal obligation to drive safely on the road to protect them and other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians as well. However, this obligation is not always respected as people practice negligent driving. The two main categories of negligence are listed here.

Dangerous Driving
Distracted Driving

If an individual finds themselves the victim of negligent driving, the negligent driver can be held responsible through a personal injury lawsuit. This lawsuit relies on the injured party satisfying the burden of proof by showing the accident and injuries sustained were a direct result of the liable driver’s poor behavior. Police reports from the accident, medical documentation of the injuries, pictures of the accident scene, and any witness testimonials are all forms of evidence that can be helpful in satisfying the burden of proof.

The legal process has numerous steps, meticulous documentation, and strict deadlines, which are generally simplified through the involvement of an auto accident attorney. An auto accident attorney guarantees your interests are represented. Click below to learn more about evaluating the need for an attorney after suffering an auto accident.

Benefits of Working with Personal Injury Attorney

Personal injury attorneys are well versed in the legal process surrounding an auto accident. In a stressful and uncertain time, having a guide to answer questions and manage the various legal specifics is critical. With a process that has several self-interested parties and is filled with complexities, having a representative serving your best interest is important. Below are other benefits associated with partnering with a personal injury attorney.

Deal with Insurance Companies – An insurance company’s main goal is to settle claims with the least amount of expense. So your insurance representative may pressure you to agree to your insurance payout before your injuries have developed or before your treatment has been completed. This might undervalue your claim. An auto accident lawyer can advise you on the handling of insurance companies and in some instances speak with the insurance company on your behalf.
Recognize the Benefits of Taking a Case to Trial – An auto accident attorney initially strives to achieve a favorable settlement rather than taking your case to court. However, their experience will help determine whether a settlement or an official trial offers a more favorable compensation and will advise you in the proper course of action.
Handle Cases with Uninsured Motorists – When you are involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist, an auto accident attorney can help investigate strategies to collect compensation. One example is that the state of Pennsylvania offers uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage through the Pennsylvania Assigned Risks Claims Plan. An auto accident attorney has the expertise to explore this option to determine whether the situation would legally qualify.

Since the legal process is complex, involving an auto accident attorney will simplify the aspects of the process. If you are interested in the basics of personal injury cases, including a blueprint of the basic legal process, click on the link below.
