Auto Accidents
According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), an auto accident occurs every few seconds in the United States. Each year, millions of wrongful deaths and tens of thousands of serious injuries occur. Sometimes, these injuries are catastrophic and can include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, severe burns, and bone fractures. At D'Amore Law Group, our attorneys understand the impact a serious injury in a car accident can have on our clients, and we work tirelessly to help them rebuild their lives.
Most car accidents are caused by another driver's negligence, which includes speeding, inattentiveness, failure to use or observe traffic signals, and driving unsafely in inclement weather conditions. Drunk drivers, product defects, and intentional or reckless conduct are other common causes of automobile accidents.
Generally, injured plaintiffs can recover two types of damages in automobile accident cases: economic and non-economic. Economic damages include present and future lost wages, present and future medical expenses, and any other costs incurred because of the injury. Non-economic damages include those for pain and suffering and the emotional distress suffered. The damages may be different if the person has died from his or her injuries; please see the wrongful death page for more information on these damages.
Our experienced personal injury attorneys employ every available strategy to ensure that our seriously injured clients recover the maximum amount of damages to which they are entitled. Utilizing the latest technologies and most innovative legal strategies, our attorneys thoroughly investigate each claim. These techniques include, but are not limited to accident reconstruction; analysis of police reports and witnesses; medical experts to determine necessary future medical treatment; and expert forensic economists to determine lost wages and future earning potential as well as pain and suffering and the loss of enjoyment of life.
