South Carolina Accident Attorneys

In the late 1900s, there were over 183,000,000 licensed drivers in the United States.

Today, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports there are over 205,000,000 registered motor vehicles. This increase in transportation makes mobility quick and easy but also lends itself to an increase in hazards.

2009 Automobile statistics:

• 10. 8 million automobile accidents
• 2.2 million accident related injuries
• 35, 900 automobile accident related deaths

Rear-end collisions are the most common accidents. More commonly known as “whiplash,” there have been over two million reported each year, while frontal collisions, rollovers, and “t-bone” accidents happen a great deal as well.

Automobile accidents can produce very different types of injuries, even in small scale accidents. It’s difficult to find jurors who have not been individually involved both directly or indirectly in some type of automobile accident. These experiences taint the jurors’ views on automobile accidents, and as a result insurance companies try to persuade jurors’ attitudes about those who pursue lawsuits for victims of automobile accidents.

An insurance company is unlikely to offer fair compensation to a victim of an automobile accident who does not have an attorney. Having an attorney helps to avoid being unprepared when trying to take the case to court, especially when insurance companies typically offer little for an accident.

It is common for injured car accident victims to try and negotiate directly with the insurance company themselves; however, in many instances the victim often receives initial concern by the carrier who then proceeds to build a case against them.

Hiring an attorney will help the victim avoid doctors and insurance companies who deem that little or no injury has been sustained from an automobile accident. When a catastrophic injury has occurred, there is obvious need to dispute this matter and the victim must do so unwaveringly to steer clear of insurance companies who try making their claims worth very little.

Many different professionals can be utilized to help break down the events and repercussions of an automobile accident and Strom Law Firm knows to use these professionals and take the necessary steps to properly present any automobile case.

Don’t let the insurance company try to settle your claim for less than it is worth.  Insurance companies are focused on making money, not ensuring that you receive fair compensation for your injuries. Although the insurance adjuster may push you to settle your claim, you need to make sure that you finish treating and understand the full extent of your injuries.  You also need to know whether you will need future treatment or suffer from any future impairment before you even consider settlement.

Our car accident lawyers are prepared to fight for compensation in the courtroom and will defend your right to compensation for your past and future medical bills, lost wages and future earnings, your pain and suffering, and in the event of a fatal car accident even wrongful death.
