Motor Vehicle Accidents

FAQs on auto accident lawsuits

Q. What should I do after an accident?
A. Your first priority is to make sure you do not have any injuries that need immediate attention. Then you need to call the police, obtain the other driver's insurance information, take photos of the road conditions and damages to your car, speak to witnesses, and go to a doctor even if you do not feel hurt. Once home, you should write a detailed account of your accident, obtain a copy of the police report, and seek legal counsel from a qualified motor vehicle accident lawyer. Tell insurance companies to speak to your attorney regarding your accident.

Q. Who can I sue if I have incurred expenses because of a motor vehicle accident?
A. Most lawsuits are filed against the liable driver in an accident. However, extenuating circumstances may allow you to sue other parties, such as automobile manufacturers, construction companies, bars, and car owners.

Q. What are the primary causes of automobile accidents?
A. Common causes of motor vehicle accidents include—

Speeding
Recklessness

Drunk driving
Unsafe road conditions

Cell phone use
Rubbernecking
