in Car Accidents Category, Personal Injury

After a car or trucking accident, you may be emotionally rattled or severely injured; this is not exactly conducive to retaining certain information that may prove essential in an insurance claim or personal injury case. If the other driver flees the scene, for example, you may not have the presence of mind to note a license plate number or even the make of the vehicle.

Posted by Lindsay

in Car Accidents Category

Despite these alarming statistics, proving driver fatigue after an accident can be complicated. A skilled attorney will help you form a case to demonstrate to both insurance and a jury that driver fatigue (and, therefore, negligence) directly contributed to the crash. How Does Driver Fatigue Cause Accidents? Drowsy driving can have an effect not dissimilar from alcohol. In fact, after a period...

Posted by Lindsay

in Car Accidents Category

Blind spot accidents account for approximately 840,000 accidents and 300 deaths every year. These types of accidents occur for various reasons and in a wide variety of circumstances but, in essence a blind spot accident occurs because one driver did not see another.

Phantom Vehicle Insurance Claims

Posted by Heather Kleinman

in Car Accidents Category, Claims

Automobiles that are responsible for causing accidents without making physical contact are known as “phantom” vehicles, and they pose a serious threat. Most drivers will, at some point, find themselves in a situation on the road where they are compelled to make a risky maneuver due to the recklessness of another driver. They may have to suddenly swerve to miss hitting another vehicle, slam on the brakes, or veer quickly to the shoulder in an attempt to avoid an accident. Sometimes these maneuvers pay off and a serious accident is averted. Other times, the worst happens: a collision still occurs, and...
