Thousands of innocent people per year are injured in car accidents as a result of the careless driving of others. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, nearly 43,000 people died in car accidents in 2002. More than one-quarter of Americans have been involved in a car accident in the last five years.

Car Accidents

Every 13 minutes, there is a death caused by a motor vehicle accident. Car accidents claim our very youngest and our very oldest populations. Americans from the ages of 1-33 are more likely to die from a car accident than from anything else. On the other side of the spectrum, elderly adults aged 75 and up are most affected by motor vehicle crashes.

Many people, including attorneys, regard car accident litigation as a simple, open and shut type of case. In some situations, that may be true. In cases involving substantial injuries with questionable insurance coverage limits on the other vehicle, it, however, becomes much more.

Car Accident Lawyers

There are attorneys who merely remind the client of the limited policy on the other vehicle and say that they should accept a settlement of their claim. This is not the case at with Parker Waichman LLP's accident injury lawyers, where every avenue of recovery is explored.
