Driver Negligence Auto Accidents
Many of today's lawsuits are based in driver negligence auto accidents. How do you know of your car accident was the result of a driver's negligence? This term can cover many different aspects of driving from the everyday occurrence that we are guilty of, to the insane behaviors some people show behind the wheel.
Filing a lawsuit based on driver negligence simply means that you are claiming that the driver of the other car is directly responsible for the car accident because of a behavior or lack of behavior at the time of the event.
A lawyer can advise you if the events surrounding your car accident are up to the state's standards for filing a lawsuit based on driver negligence, although some things seem glaringly obvious. Many states are cracking down on the use of cell phones while driving, and of course texting while driving is equally if not more dangerous.
The personal injury settlements stemming from cell phone and texting related accidents have been quite phenomenal, especially considering that it has been well publicized how dangerous texting and talking on the cell phone is, even by the cell phone companies. Lawsuits involving texting and cell phone use usually end in personal injury settlements rather than a court room trial.
Enraged driving is yet another example of driver negligent car accidents. Road rage, while the defense lawyers have worked hard to turn it into a syndrome, in some way affect 83% of drivers in the United States, whether being cut off, experiencing a near miss, or being the victim of a road rage related accident.
An auto accident lawyer can be a valuable resource in understanding your rights within the law, and just how far those rights extend in road rage accidents. Lawsuits involving incidents of road rage also tend to end in high personal injury settlements or high jury awards. Lawsuits involving road rage are simply society's way of stating that they have had more than enough of aggressive drivers who make poor judgments based solely on their emotions.
Personal injury settlements involving road rage are a strong message to overly aggressive drivers that their behavior is unwarranted and unacceptable by society's standards. Even a high personal injury settlement or jury award involving a road rage incident is simply not enough to wipe away the pain and suffering associated with a road rage accident. Despite the rising number of auto accident lawsuits filed on behalf of victims of road rage, the incidents of road rage continues to climb in the United States.
Even the best attorneys can never attain enough compensation for the victims of neglectful and dangerous drivers, as there is no monetary reward that can repay an individual for the loss of health and lifestyle. Auto accident attorneys are the legal voice for the victims of this callous and cruel carelessness.
Aggressive attorneys are typically able to produce ample monetary awards for negligent driver cases, but even the absolute best attorney can not turn back the hands of time and prevent the tragedy. In this country, we compensate people the best we can for their pain and suffering, but compensation does not replace everything that has been lost.
A lawsuit is the victim's chance to explain to the jury and to the defendant how their life has changed because of an auto accident that could have been prevented with a little care on the driver's part. During a lawsuit, the victim is permitted to in essence confront their assailant, and allow their voice to be heard.
It is the job of the attorney to tie their voice into the letter of the law and create for the jury an understanding of how a life was impacted because someone stopped caring how dangerous a car can be.
Unfortunately, even though victims have a lot to deal with right after having a serious car accident, an attorney should be contacted immediately. Many attorneys will come to a hospital room upon request in order to get the filing of the lawsuit underway as quickly as possible.
Medical insurance runs out quickly. It is always best to file a lawsuit as soon as the facts of the case have been established. Time is precious, and filing a lawsuit quickly and with specific intent can make the time after the accident less strenuous much earlier in the process.
