When you’re in a motor vehicle accident, you may be injured and are dealing with property damage. To worsen the impact of your accident, a new or leased car may result in additional expenses and paying the remaining balance on your car loan, even if it is totaled during the accident.

Any car accident may leave a driver or passenger anxious and unsure of how to handle injuries or property damage, but if an auto accident occurs on one’s private property, it may be even more difficult to determine damages and who is liable in the claim. This may pose an additional stress factor as claims regarding accidents that happen on roads and highways have a more straightforward process.
Whether you or a loved one are involved in an auto accident, there are many considerations to be ta...
You’ve been injured as a passenger in another driver’s car during an auto accident. What should you do? Situations like this can often be frustrating and worrisome. As a passenger, you were not operating either car involved in the accident. You and your insurance are not responsible for claims or any damage to either car as result from the collision. You are not at fault, yet you are an injured victim following the actions of other drivers.

The truck driver could be at fault, and the “type” of driv...

Following a car accident, a police report is a documentation written and compiled by the officer who arrives at the scene of your car accident. Here, law enforcement reports on all relevant details or any factors regarding your car accident. These repo...
How much is your personal injury claim worth? Like so much in life, it depends. Before we get into the ins and outs of determining what your claim may be worth, it’s important to know there is no magic calculator to quickly estimate a case’s value. Rather, accurately calculating an individual case’s value requires an experienced personal injury lawyer to navigate the details of that case to ultimately lead to the best possible outcome.
