Question 1

What should I do after a car accident to protect my rights?

Accepted Answer

After a car accident, your first priority should be your safety and well-being. Then, call the police so that there is an official accident report. Next, focus on gathering evidence, such as taking photos of the vehicles, getting contact information from witnesses, and exchanging insurance details with the other driver. Avoid making any statements on the scene that could be interpreted as accepting liability. Even apologizing can be misconstrued as guilt or blame. Stick to the facts when speaking with the police and your insurance company. Contact our car accident lawyer as soon as possible. Our personal injury attorney has over 13 years of experience handling auto accident claims and will outline the best path forward to recover compensation for your losses.

Question 2

Who can be held liable in a boating accident?

Accepted Answer

Determining liability is an essential factor in boating accident claims. Who is at fault depends on the circumstances of the incident. For example, if the operator was driving under the influence or acting recklessly, they are likely to blame. However, if the accident is attributed to a faulty part on the boat, our injury attorney may suggest pursuing a product liability claim to hold the manufacturer responsible. During your free consultation with our lawyer, we will review the details of your case and strategize the next steps, including evidence collection to establish liability. Often, victims are unsure who to hold liable for their personal injuries. That is where guidance from our legal team becomes invaluable. It is our job to make a case for negligence and negotiate a fair settlement with the at-fault party. Our boating accident lawyer does not charge any fees unless you win, so working with our firm is risk-free.

Question 3

How is a truck accident case different from a car accident case?

Accepted Answer

There are several reasons why truck accident cases are different from collisions with regular cars. The sheer size of a commercial truck is a factor, as the impact of the crash is much greater and commonly results in more catastrophic injuries. Additionally, truck accident claims involve more parties, making it challenging to determine liability. Depending on the cause of the crash, our truck accident lawyer may file a personal injury claim against the truck driver, the trucking company, or a parts manufacturer. For example, if the collision happened because of improper loading or regulation violations, the trucking company is likely at fault. Whereas if the driver was speeding, they would be liable. Each of these parties has their own insurance and lawyer, further complicating the case. Our firm has secured millions of dollars in settlements for injured victims and knows exactly what to do to collect evidence, build your case, and negotiate for maximum compensation with the insurance company.

Question 4

Are motorcyclists always at fault in an accident?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, motorcycle bias is still a prevalent issue. Insurance companies are often quick to blame the rider when an accident occurs. Adjusters assume you were speeding, lane-splitting, or behaving recklessly. But we know the truth: motorcycles have just as much of a right to be on the road as any other vehicle. Distracted drivers don’t give riders adequate space and fail to check blind spots before merging. We will use traffic cam footage, dash cams, witness statements, and accident reconstructionists to show what caused the crash and place liability exactly where it belongs – on the other driver. Our attorney fiercely advocates for the rights of motorcyclists and will work tirelessly to overcome these judgments on your behalf so you can secure the compensation you deserve. Our founding partner, Brandon F. Loshak, is an AV Preeminent Rated attorney professionally recognized for his work defending the rights of accident victims.

Question 5

Do I have a case if I slipped and fell on someone else’s property?

Accepted Answer

When you slip and fall on someone’s property, you may have a premises liability case. For the property owner to be held liable, you need to have evidence showing that they knew there was a hazard (or should have reasonably known) and failed to repair it or warn visitors. If you trip over your own feet and break your arm in the fall, the property owner won’t be responsible. However, if you tripped on damaged concrete, you potentially have a case. Our slip and fall attorney offers free consultations, so if you aren’t sure if your injury qualifies for a civil claim, don’t hesitate to reach out to our firm. We will review the details of the incident, inform you of your rights, and explain your legal options.
