According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a truck, motorcycle, or car accident occurs every 10 seconds on our roads and highways. Cars, trucks, and motorcycles have become extensions of our homes and places of work. Now that people are spending more and more time in their automobiles, trucks, and on motorcycles, accidents have become inevitable, as drivers try to accomplish other tasks while operating their vehicles.
If you have been involved in a motorcycle or car accident, lawyer Joe Bornstein recommends that you immediately contact the police; a police report can be an essential tool in your case. If you have been injured, let the police call for transport to take you to the hospital where you should be seen by a medical professional who will determine and document your injuries.
After contacting the police, call the Law Offices of Joe Bornstein. The attorneys at our practice will consider handling your case, from obtaining the police reports to contacting the insurance companies of all parties involved in the accident. We will also ask your doctor to submit to us his or her notes on your case and any recommendations he or she makes for therapy for your injuries. You must follow your doctor’s advice with regard to medications, physical and occupational therapy, and follow-up x-rays and scans.
It is important that you speak to no one about the accident except for your attorney, case manager, or other representative from our offices . We have handled thousands of cases for people who have been hurt in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and truck accidents, and have recovered fair and just settlements that have compensated our clients for their physical and mental pain and suffering.
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, call us at 1.800.772.4624 right away.
The roads are dangerous enough without negligent drivers making them more so. People who are paying more attention to their cell phone conversations than they are to the road can be a hazard to other drivers. Add to this the hazards of drunk drivers and defective parts on some vehicles, and even the most alert of drivers may not be able to escape an accident. When you have been in a wreck, an experienced car accident lawyer can help you protect your legal rights and seek compensation for your injuries and damage to your property. Contact our offices today for a free consultation regarding your case.
Since they have smaller profile, motorcyclists are more likely to go unnoticed by other motorists who are not paying attention. Without the protection provided by an automobile, motorcyclists also often suffer much more serious injury in the event of an accident.
Automobile drivers must remain aware of their surroundings, and that includes motorcyclists. The low profile of motorcycles is no excuse for a driver's negligence. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, attorneys at our law offices can help you seek the financial compensation you need and deserve. Contact our practice today.
Negligent drivers are not just a danger to other motorists. They are also a hazard for pedestrians. If a motorist is drunk, driving recklessly, or is not paying attention, he or she can easily veer into places where pedestrians are walking, causing serious injury and even death to the people that he or she strikes. If you or a loved one has been hit by a negligent driver, we can help you hold the driver accountable.
