Protecting the Rights of Car Accident Victims
Most auto accidents are caused by driver negligence. Talking on a cell phone, speeding, driving too slowly, texting, changing radio stations, and being inattentive are all examples of behaviors that put other people at risk. Another driver's momentary carelessness can change your life forever.
In 2008, over 34,000 fatal car crashes occurred in the United States. Nearly all of them could have been prevented. If someone else's negligence or inattention caused your injury crash, you need to know your rights and options. Call attorney Tom Reinecke now for a no-fee consultation or to set up an appointment.
Determining Fault in Car Accidents
The road to making a successful personal injury claim is covered with potholes and speed bumps. If you believe another driver was at fault for your accident, you must prove that he or she was negligent and that negligence was the legal cause of your injuries and damages. Proving fault can be difficult, especially when the other driver's insurance company is working to undermine your case.
While information on who was fault can be obtained from a California Traffic Collision Report, this report may be inadmissible in court. Only an experienced attorney knows what evidence needs to be collected and preserved in order to prove your case. That evidence may include witness statements, the wrecked vehicles themselves, and testimony from accident reconstruction experts.
If you are contacted by a representative of the at-fault driver's insurance company, you should never make a recorded statement or attempt to diagram the accident without seeking a lawyer's advice. Talking to the insurance adjuster yourself will never help, and can actually kill, your case.
As your lawyer, Tom Reinecke will investigate liability, find and preserve evidence, battle the insurance company, and seek compensation for your injuries and damages from all available sources, including your own uninsured or underinsured motorists' coverage.
