Car Accident – When to Contact a Lawyer

Car Accident

 

Car Accidents in the U.S.

According to the National High Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 5.4 million car accidents happen each year on United States roads. There are over 200 million people who rely on a car or small truck each day for transportation in the U.S. Roughly 5% of all U.S. drivers will be involved in an accident, not counting drivers who are involved in multiple accidents each year. According to Census.gov, approximately 57 million people reside in the Northeastern U.S. as of 2010. The amount of land area per capita is much lower than the southern and midwest regions of the U.S. This could contribute to a higher chance of car accidents occurring in densely populated areas.

Why Contact a Car Accident Lawyer?

Depending on the state you are hurt in will determine how long you have to file a claim. A car crash can happen in a matter of seconds. The events that occur after an accident will happen whether you are ready or not. Hospital bills will start to accumulate soon after being checked out in the emergency room. Monthly expenses will not cease due to an accident. An experienced car accident lawyer will be able to explain all of this and more. If you or someone you know has been injured in Rhode Island, Connecticut or Massachusetts, contact Rob Levine & Associates for help today.

A legal team will provide you with the information necessary to file a claim and get justice for your injuries. Most of us do not have much experience dealing with car accident claims, which is why it is vital to have assistance from someone who does. Negotiating with insurance companies is one of the most important parts after a car accident. Having an experienced car accident lawyer on your side will ensure you get fair compensation for as much as possible. Compensation can cover property damages, hospital expenses, lost wages and more.
