Types of Car Accidents We Handle
When you contact our legal team, we get to work building your claim. To do that, we gather all the evidence available to demonstrate what occurred. This is critical because it determines exactly who should pay for your losses. Some of the types of car accident cases we handle include:
- Distracted driving accidents: Drivers eating or drinking, texting, watching a podcast, or adjusting navigational devices
- Impaired drivers: Often the result of alcohol or drug use
- Reckless operation: Speeding, illegal lane changes, tailgating, or aggressive driving
- Inexperience-related accidents: Failing to follow the law, not yielding the right of way, or other causes
- Mechanical-failure related accidents: Brake, tire, and transmission failures that lead to accidents
These are some examples, but far from the full picture. No matter what happened to you, give us a call. Our St. Albans car accident lawyer will investigate and create a clear picture of who is at fault in your case.
Getting All of the Evidence Necessary to Build Your Case
Our lawyers will investigate and build your case by seeking all available evidence. That means going further than just the police report. We look at:
- Accident reports
- Witness statements
- Forensics from the accident site
- Dash cameras and surveillance footage
- Expert testimony
In some situations, victims may face claims that they are partially at fault for their accident and injuries. Under West Virginia Code §55-7-13A, the state follows a modified comparative negligence law. That means you can recover damages as long as you are under 50% at fault. If you are found 51% or higher responsible, you lose that right. We work to minimize that claim against you.
Types of Injuries Suffered in Car Accidents in St. Albans
Victims of car accidents face incredible trauma due to the force, weight, and overall trauma involved. With the guidance of our St. Albans car accident lawyer, we will consider current and future losses you have related to your injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken and fractured bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Amputations
- Soft tissue injuries
- Whiplash
- Burns
In each of these cases, you likely have serious medical bills, rehabilitation costs, surgeries, and long-term medication needs. You may miss work, including suffering injuries that no longer allow you to go back to the same type of work you were doing. Most victims also have non-economic losses, including pain and suffering and mental anguish. You should receive damages for all losses we demonstrate.
