Motor Vehicle Accident

Have you or someone you love been injured by another car, whether it crashed into you while you were behind the wheel or even walking along the street? Any kind of vehicle accident can be devastating. If you’re hit while on your bicycle, your motorcycle, or by an 18-wheeler, they can be more devastating still. The Law Offices of Samuel Ogbogu can help.

More often than not, the other driver is liable for your injuries in a motor vehicle accident. However, it could be that there are other parties who are liable or even partially liable for your accident. For example, perhaps road conditions contributed to the accident. If that’s the case, then those who failed to properly maintain the roads could be liable. 

If you were hit by an 18-wheeler, the driver may be liable, yes, but the person who hired the driver could be liable, those who loaded the truck improperly, those who performed repairs upon the truck, the truck’s manufacturer, and other parties. When we look at your case, we’ll tell you exactly who is liable for your case and then we’ll bring a case against all involved.

For having been in a motor vehicle accident, you can recover economic as well as noneconomic damages. The former consists of compensation for wages that you might have lost from being unable to work on account of your injury. Additionally, economic damages can cover medical bills resulting from your injuries, such as trips to the hospital, rehab stays, medications, therapies, and much more. 

Noneconomic damages are for pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and more that cannot necessarily be quantified. When we take your case, we do everything in our power to help you and yours recover as much compensation as possible. Indeed, when we sit down with you, we’ll tell you exactly what kinds of compensation you can expect as a result of your case.

Get out of the way of further harm if you can. Check yourself and others for injuries. Call 911. The police can file a police report which will help your case. Hopefully, no one is injured. Even if that’s the case, receiving professional medical care is essential. You or others may be in shock and unaware of internal injuries, among other potential complications a medical professional can discover.

Get the other driver’s information: their name, address, insurance, contact information, if possible take photos of the vehicles, and the scene. Do so politely. Do not admit fault. In fact, say nothing that can be construed as admitting fault. Contact your insurance company. Then, contact us for a free case evaluation.
