Automobile Accidents
Every year millions of people are injured in automobile accidents, many with devestating consequences. If you have been injured in an automobile accident, you may be entitled to a variety of benefits including payment of medical bills, lost wages, and compensation for your pain, suffering and inconvenience.
An experienced attorney is necessary to protect your legal rights and properly evaluate your case. Insurance companies often attempt to settle claims for less than full value by convincing victims that they do not need an attorney. Until the victim of an automobile accident retains an attorney, the insurance company knows that the person it is dealing with is not prepared to take his or her case to court, does not fully understand the law, and is unlikely to obtain fair and just compensation. Our lawyers have substantial experience handling all types of automobile accident cases. In handling these types of cases it is crucial to understand the complexities of automobile accident litigation, including such legal principles as contributory negligence, assumption of risk, and the last clear chance doctrine. Many car accidents are caused by defective auto parts or flaws in the design of the car that increase the exposure to dangers that passengers face. Defective steering, defective brakes, defective tires, defective air bags, defective seat belts, defective engine parts and systems that cause fire and explosions, defective helmets on motorcycles all contribute to the constant dangers on the road.
Our attorneys are also well versed in the crucial insurance issues surrounding these cases, including liability insurance, collision coverage, personal injury protection, med-pay, and uninsured and underinsured motorist benefits. Understanding the important value of uninsured and underinsured motorist benefits is particularly vital. These types of insurance benefits allow injured persons to be fully compensated for their injuries in circumstances where the negligent driver lacks proper insurance coverage. At Regan Zambri & Long, we have a team of dedicated, experienced lawyers ready to handle all types of automobile accident cases.
