Common Car Accident Causes

Among the most devastating, yet tragically common, injuries caused by car accidents are traumatic brain damage and spinal cord injury.  Unfortunately, it only takes a moment of inattention or distraction on the part of another driver to cause an injury that can change lives forever.  In many cases, car accidents have been the result of:

• Speeding
• Cell phone usage
• Reckless driving
• Influence of drugs or alcohol
• Defective products
• Poor vehicle crashworthiness

Too often, the tragic end to a car accident is the wrongful death of the victim.  At our Indianapolis, Indiana firm, an experienced car accident lawyer is prepared to stand up for victims and their families and hold accountable those whose negligent disregard for the safety of others has created pain and hardship.

In some instances, car accident claims can be resolved without the assistance of a lawyer.  However, when an accident causes serious injury or extensive property damage, an attorney's assistance can be crucial to obtaining just compensation.  Often, insurance companies attempt to under represent the value of car accident claims and offer smaller settlements than victims may be rightfully entitled to.  Many times, victims who try to handle their own legal affairs after a car accident are left bearing the majority of the expenses from an accident that was not their fault.  At the Law Offices of Doehrman & Chamberlain in Indianapolis, Indiana, a car accident lawyer can determine the true value of your claim and the amount of compensation to which you are entitled. Throughout our firm’s history, we have obtained multiple million-dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of our clients.
