Car Accident Lawyers

Work With Experienced Car Accident Attorneys And Get Compensation For Your Injuries

Whether a car accident has left you or a loved one injured or claimed a life, the dedicated car accident attorneys at Parker Waichman LLP want you to know that you have legal rights that may entitle you to compensation for any expenses, losses, or injuries associated with your car collision. We believe that drivers who choose to disregard basic rules of safety and endanger others on the roadway should be held accountable for decisions that cause injuries, and our auto accident lawyers will work hard to make sure that that happens.

National Car Accident Statistics Show You’re Not Alone

Car crashes occur with frightening regularity in the United States, and more people die on the road, despite cars being safer. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

  • A total of 5,250,837 crashes killed 38,824 people and injured 2,282,015 in 2020. Compared to 2019, this represents a 6.8% increase in fatalities and a 16.7% decrease in injuries.
  • These deadly crashes were more likely to occur in urban areas than rural ones: 21,650 fatalities occurred in urban areas (56%) while 16,665 occurred in a rural setting (43%) in 2020.
  • One person was killed every 14 minutes and 4 people were injured every minute from crashes in 2020.
  • 11,654 of the people killed were involved in alcohol-related crashes, including 229 children. 11,258 were killed in speeding-related fatalities.
  • The highest fatality rate from motor vehicles was in South Carolina and Mississippi. The lowest was in Massachusetts and Minnesota.
  • In 2020, 6,516 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes, up 3.9% from 2019. An additional 54,769 pedestrians were injured.
  • The economic cost of all traffic crashes in 2010 was $242 billion.

What these numbers cannot tell is the heartbreaking and unfortunate stories of the victims and surviving family members of these crashes. While some car wrecks are just fender-benders that do little more than dent a bumper or door, other crashes are true tragedies that cause serious injuries or claim the lives of innocent motorists and passengers who are simply trying to go about their daily business.

Our personal injury car accident lawyers are dedicated to helping people in these types of situations find justice.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
