Thousands of people are injured or killed every year in car accidents. Car accident figures have reached such numbers that they are thought to become the main cause of preventable death over the next fifteen years. Road accidents are the most popular cause of personal injury claims. Whether you were the driver or passenger in a car accident, or even if you are a pedestrian you could be entitled to compensation for pain, suffering and injury caused by a road traffic accident that was not your fault.

• Claims against an uninsured driver
• Claims for serious injuries
• Claims for medical expenses caused by a car accident
• Claims for loss of income
• Claims for defective vehicles
• Claims for pedestrians involved in car accidents

When seeking legal assistance in order to claim compensation following a car accident that was not your fault, you may have to provide medical evidence. In some states you can make a claim if you fall under one of the following:

• A loved one is killed
• You suffer a fractured bone or multiple fractures
• You suffer a permanent disfigurement
• You suffer the loss of a sense/senses
• You suffer the loss of a limb
• You suffer debilitating injuries such as spinal or brain injury

It is important to seek assistance and advice from a qualified and experienced car accident lawyer as soon as possible following the incident. You may be limited for time when it comes to claiming compensation depending on which state you are in, so it is important to seek advice as soon as possible
