Causes of Car Accidents in Suffolk

Every year, the lives of millions of people are turned upside down because of auto accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were almost 43,000 deaths in 2002 because of car accidents. Of the 6,316,000 car accidents that occurred that year, about 2.9 million resulted in injuries. Auto accidents are the leading cause of death for people under 30, and they disproportionately affect those between 15 and 24, and over 75. Every 12 minutes, one person dies because of an auto accident. Every 14 seconds, a car accident results in an injured victim.

Auto accidents can be attributed to various causes, and often there are several factors that contribute to a single accident. About 40 percent of car accident fatalities occur because of a drunken driver. Another 30 percent of car accident fatalities can be attributed to driving above the speed limits and well over 33 percent occur because of reckless driving. Drive errors, distracted driving, poorly designed roadways and vehicle defects can also cause or contribute to a car accident.

More often than not, car accidents are the result of one or more factors, and establishing liability can be complicated. That's why it's so important to contact an experienced car accident lawyer as soon as possible. Our car accident lawyers conduct thorough investigations in all cases, and our clients can be assured that we will make sure they receive compensation from all parties responsible for an auto accident.

Dealing With an Insurance Company

Unfortunately, because of the financial, physical and emotional strain that most car accident victims face, they may be anxious - too anxious - to reach a settlement with the insurance company handling their claim. Insurance companies are only too aware of this, and only too willing to take advantage of car accident victims.

Our car accident lawyers have seen far too many instances where insurance companies delay paying on claims, or make settlement offers that do not even begin to cover a victim's pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages. The number one goal of an insurance company is not to make sure car accident victims are treated fairly. Rather, it is to settle claims for as little as possible.

Our Suffolk County car accident lawyers are never intimidated by insurance companies, and we have no trouble going toe-to-toe with their lawyers, even if it means going to trial. Our car accident clients can be assured that we will stand up for their rights.
