The most common accidents that occur on the road today are rear-end collisions. These accidents are less deadly than others, but they can and usually do lead to vehicle damage and lasting injuries like whiplash, lacerations, spinal cord injury, and broken bones. Driver negligence is usually the cause of rear-end collisions, and our firm has handled many rear-end collision cases on the behalf of injured victims so that they can recover compensation for their physical injuries, economic damages and non-economic damages as well. In some cases where inclement weather is partly to blame, our firm may be able to prove that the other driver may also be at fault.

Other types of car accidents include side-impact or T-bone collisions. These accidents are less common, but can cause devastating or fatal injuries when they do occur. In T-bone collisions, the occupants of a vehicle are less protected against the impact because the automobile is struck from the side. Head-on collisions are also serious accidents that can lead to costly and lasting injuries, and it is always wise to seek the counsel of a caring injury attorney regardless of the type of car accident you are involved in.
