People who have been seriously injured by another person's careless driving often turn to an auto accident attorney to help them seek justice. An auto accident attorney knows that car crashes are one of the most traumatic types of accident, causing deaths and serious, disabling injuries like brain damage, paraplegia, amputations and disfiguring burns. About 1.5 Americans were killed for every 100 million vehicle miles traveled in 2005; a third of those fatal crashes involved someone with a blood-alcohol concentration over the legal limit and about 30% involved speeding. When someone else's reckless behavior kills or catastrophically injures someone you love, you should speak to an auto accident attorney as soon as possible.

How Can An Auto Accident Attorney Help Me?

Injured people often seek out an auto accident attorney during a troubled time in their lives. After an accident, injured people may be unable to work, even as expensive medical bills start piling up. Further complicating matters, some insurance companies don't "play fair"; knowing that your claim is expensive, they may deny it even if it's legitimate. Sometimes, a defective auto part (like a tire prone to blowout) or a poorly maintained road may have caused the accident, even though the company or municipality involved denies it. An auto accident attorney can even the playing field with legal expertise and negotiating skills. And if necessary, an auto accident attorney will argue passionately for you in court.

Will My Auto Accident Attorney File a Lawsuit?

Not all cases will be brought to trial by an auto accident attorney. If your auto accident attorney can negotiate adequate payment from the other drivers, companies or government agencies, you may not need to testify in court. Organizations know lawsuits are expensive and embarrassing; they would often rather settle with your auto accident attorney. But if the other side refuses to settle for a reasonable sum, your auto accident attorney should insist on taking your case to a jury. In court, your auto accident attorney may be able to win economic damages, like payment of medical bills; non-economic damages, like compensation for a permanent disability; and sometimes even punitive damages that punish a company for serious wrongdoing.
