Severe automobile accidents can, and often do, change the lives of the people involved. This happened to one of our clients, a college student. While a passenger in a vehicle, she was struck by a police vehicle and sustained multiple fractures requiring surgery. We won $1,750,000 in compensation for this client and a chance to recover from a serious injury without worrying about medical bills. At Sullivan and Sullivan LLP, we will personally fight for you, as we do for all of our clients. If you want us to fight for you, contact us for a free case evaluation. We will provide a translator if you need one.
A car accident is a collision involving an automobile and anything that causes damage to the automobile, including other automobiles, telephone poles, buildings, and trees. Sometimes a car accident may also refer to an automobile striking a human or animal. Car accidents — also called traffic collisions, auto accidents, road accidents, personal injury collisions, motor vehicle accidents and crashes — kill an estimated 1.2 million people worldwide each year, and injure about forty times this number.
A personal injury sustained in a vehicle accident might become a formal civil court case/proceeding or may be solved through an informal settlement prior to a lawsuit being filed. Auto accidents include:
– Car accidents
– Motorcycle accidents
– SUV rollovers
– Bus accidents
– Pedestrian accidents
– Insurance claims
