Types of Car Accidents Handled By The Brick Car Accident Lawyers Team

There are tens of millions of vehicles of all types on the road, and drivers vary in their ability to drive safely and in how closely they adhere to safe driving rules.

Some of the car accident types that our Brick car accident lawyers can help you with include:

• Frontal and rear-end collisions
• Rollover accidents
• Side-impact accidents
• Blindspot and no-zone collisions
• Intersection accidents
• T-bone and narrow lane accidents
• Parking lot and sidewalk accidents
• Speeding, reckless driving, and aggressive driving cases
• Distracted, drowsy, and intoxicated driving accidents
• Vehicle malfunction and road damage accidents
• Texting and driving accidents
• Truck accidents

For each of the accident types above, depending on how the accident in question occurred, negligence may be involved. When filing a claim with your insurer or suing for damages, how your accident occurred and whether or not negligence was involved are important factors to consider.

• Speeding, drinking and driving, and driving recklessly or aggressively are all examples of negligent driving behavior. The same applies to drowsy and/or fatigued driving, distracted driving, and driving a dangerous or under-maintained vehicle.
• Driving without the training, experience, or licensing required to operate a motor vehicle is a form of negligence.
• If a tire blowout, brake failure, loose cargo, or other types of vehicle malfunctions lead to an accident, these factors can also point to negligence.
• Environmental factors such as inclement weather, slick surfaces, cracked roads, uneven roads, steep turns, and narrow roads can also lead to accidents, and you may be able to prove negligence for these factors as well.

Common Injuries Our Brick Car Accident Lawyers Will Help You Include In Your Compensation Claim

Car accidents can lead to serious personal injuries, such as:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Internal organ injuries
• Internal bleeding
• Broken, fractured, or crushed bones
• Sprains, strains, lacerations, bruises, and body punctures
• Damage to the nerves, muscles, or ligaments
• Injuries to the eyes, mouth, or teeth
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Death and/or varying degrees of paralysis or incapacitation

In addition to the above, you or a loved one may also suffer different types of financial loss after an accident, such as:

• Property damage
• Vehicle damage
• Lost income or lost earning ability
• Medical expenses

You can only include the losses outlined above in your claim if you can connect those losses to your accident. This requires evidence. We discuss evidence in the next section.

The Brick Car Accident Lawyers Team Will Investigate Your Accident And Gather Evidence

To win compensation for the losses you suffered in an accident, you need to gather evidence, such as:

• Proof of medical treatment expenses
• Proof of vehicle repair expenses and/or property damage
• Proof of lost income
• Video/photo evidence that proves the liability of another party
• Eyewitness statements about how the accident occurred
• The police report of the accident
• Expert testimony from medical and economics experts proving that you suffered injuries serious enough to warrant a claim

Our Brick Car Accident Lawyers Will Help You File A Claim Or Lawsuit

Armed with the evidence outlined above, you can file your claim with your insurer. The amount you are entitled to in compensation depends on the limits of the insurance policies you hold.

However, you may be able to sue an at-fault party for damages if you suffered catastrophic losses in an accident. Depending on how your accident occurred, you may be able to sue any one of the following parties:

• A driver, vehicle owner, or vehicle operator (such as the owner or operator of a fleet of commercial trucks) if driver negligence, a lack of driver training, or poor vehicle maintenance led to an accident.
• A town or municipality if road damage, road repairs, poor signage, or faulty traffic control devices caused or contributed to an accident.
• A construction or vehicle maintenance team if their actions in any way caused or contributed to your accident.
