Monroe Car Accident Lawyers

Although there are approximately six million car accidents annually, most people neither anticipate that they will be the victim of a motor vehicle accident nor prepare for the possibility of such a collision. Most drivers are stressed out and in extreme pain in the aftermath of a car crash. The emotional and physical impact of a car accident can pose a serious disruption of your life, which may be increased exponentially by financial challenges created by the costs of medical bills, hospitalization and rehabilitation. If you are physically unable to work, these medical expenses can be overwhelming. Our experienced Monroe Car Accident Lawyers provide persuasive legal representation to those who suffer serious injury or lose a loved one in a motor vehicle accident.

The human body was not designed to withstand the force of impact resulting from thousands of pounds of steel so many auto accidents cause injuries that result in permanent debilitating injuries, including impairment of mental functions, limitation of mobility, loss of sensation and inability to engage in one’s occupation. Our Monroe Car Accident Lawyers are committed to providing persuasive advocacy and effective legal representation to those who are the victims of drunk, fatigued, drowsy, speeding or otherwise unsafe drivers. Our Monroe Car Accident Attorneys have been representing victims of all types of motor vehicle accidents since 1984, including the following:

Chain reaction collisions
T-bone collisions at intersections
Back-over accidents in driveways or parking lots
Defective motor vehicle accidents
Rear-end collisions
Motorcycle accidents
Road departure accidents
Hit-and-run accidents
Drunk driving crashes
Rollover accidents involving SUVs and other vehicles
Pedestrian accidents
Trucking accidents including jack-knife, undercarriage and rollover crashes
Dangerous head-on freeway crashes
Bicycle collisions with cars, trucks and SUVs

There are many dangerous or unlawful driving practices that may cause a car accident. Our Monroe Car Accident Law Firm works diligently to investigate our clients' claims and identify all responsible parties and causes of an accident. We have handled a vast array of motor vehicle accidents involving all varieties of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, tractor-trailers, motorcycles, bicycles, vans and other vehicles. Some of the types of negligent driving that may be the basis of liability in a car accident case include:

Exceeding the speed limit
Tailgating (following too closely)
Unsafe passing and lane change maneuvers
Drug or alcohol-impaired driving
Driving while distracted
Disregarding traffic signs or signals
Failure to yield
Drowsy driving
Negligence in designing and maintaining roads
Lack of care when manufacturing a vehicle

Regardless of the form of negligent conduct that causes a car accident, the result is often serious injury. The financial compensation available in car accident claims depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to the type of injury, severity of injury, cost of out-of-pocket expenses, extent of misconduct by the defendant and other factors. Injuries that require more invasive medical procedures or take longer to heal generally will result in more financial compensation than soft tissue injuries that heal on their own within a reasonably short time. If you suffer injuries that will have permanent effects, such as injuries limiting physical or mental functioning, these types of injuries often will justify more substantial financial recovery. When the behavior of the at-fault driver is particularly reckless, the judge or jury may award punitive damages. Punitive damages are a special type of damages that may be awarded in cases involving drunken driving, street racing and other extremely unsafe driving practices. Some common types of injuries that occur in a car accident include:

Fractures or broken bones
Dislocations and tears of tendons/ligaments
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Paralysis (quadriplegia/paraplegia)
Injuries to the spinal cord
Damage to internal organs
Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries

If you or someone you love has suffered injuries in a motor vehicle collision, you may recover a wide array of damages including lost wages, medical costs, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, diminished enjoyment of life and loss of consortium. Burial and funeral costs along with punitive damages may also be awarded based on the specific facts of the case.
