Biloxi Car Accident Lawyer
If you or a loved one is in a car accident/wreck, first seek medical attention. However, after your injuries are treated, you should also speak with a Biloxi car accident lawyer. While whiplash is one of the most common motor vehicle injuries, auto collisions often cause catastrophic injuries and even death. At Van Cleave Law, our experienced personal injury lawyers have a well-earned reputation for getting results. Van Cleave Law works diligently to serve clients in the Gulf Coast and throughout Mississippi. We review your case, provide you with an honest and straightforward assessment and determine the best way to help you obtain recoverable damages after a car accident.
Common Causes of Car Crashes
Some wrecks occur as a result of defective vehicles or equipment. Many happen as a result of drunk driving or driver distractions. Regardless of how they happen — and despite today’s required safety devices, such as seat belts, shoulder harnesses and airbags — tens of thousands of people are seriously injured as a result of automobile accidents/wrecks every year. During unfortunate times like these, you need responsible representation from a dedicated Biloxi auto injury lawyer. Our team frequently assists clients injured in the following types of auto accidents:
- Intersection crashes—When an accident occurs at an intersection, assigning fault can be difficult. If you suffer serious injury, however, determining liability is vital to your legal case. We scrutinize every detail of your case to find out who is responsible and what legal options you have.
- Texting while driving—Whether using a cellphone to text or talk or fiddling with a GPS unit, distracted drivers pose a danger to everyone on the road.
- Drunk driving—Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is illegal and extremely dangerous. If you or a loved one is injured by an inebriated driver, seek help from a competent accident lawyer.
Child passengers may suffer the worst injuries in an accident. Child car seats, even the safest and most technologically advanced ones, simply cannot protect children from the worst accidents.
Types of Injuries
In addition to damage to the vehicles and other property, injured drivers and passengers may incur substantial medical and hospital bills, lost wages and suffer severe physical pain and mental anguish. Common injuries that occur in auto accidents include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord and neck injuries, back injuries, broken bones, burns, and amputations. Obtaining fair and reasonable compensation for such injuries requires a skillful and knowledgeable Biloxi car accident lawyer fighting on your behalf. Whether you suffer catastrophic injury or lose a loved one in a fatal car accident / wreck, we are ready to fight for you.
How a Biloxi Car Accident Lawyer Can Help
Immediately after you suffer an auto accident injury, your time to file a lawsuit starts running out. In fact, in Mississippi, you usually have between one and three years to file a claim. The moment Van Cleave Law takes your case, we begin investigating the circumstances of your accident / wreck. Our Biloxi car accident lawyers gather evidence, contact witnesses, reconstruct the scene and calculate the total amount of damages. If you are in an accident with an underinsured or uninsured driver, we may be able to help you file a claim against your own provider for insurance damages.
If you receive a lowball when settling a car accident case offer from an insurance company, we move swiftly to see that your best interests are protected. Upon retaining our services, you gain the support of a veteran legal team that has extensive experience negotiating with insurance companies throughout the state.
