According to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the International Institute of Highway Safety, a total of 38,824 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2020. The leading causes of death by motor vehicle accidents are alcohol, speeding, lack of seat belt use and other problematic behaviors such as distracted driving. Catastrophic auto accidents can be complicated, with more than one party at fault. In addition, there can be parts of the motor vehicle that are defective that contribute to the accident. Whether your accident seems straightforward or is complex, it pays to have someone on your side who can help navigate the complexities of an auto accident lawsuit. Our team of trial lawyers actively litigates auto (car) accidents in Pennsylvania and New Jersey including cases from ride shares such as Uber and Lyft, SEPTA accidents, trucking accidents, car accidents, motor vehicle accidents, train derailments and accidents, and boating accidents. ## Why Should You Hire Us to Represent Your Auto Accident Case? Here are some key reasons why you might hire a personal injury attorney for your car accident claim: - Insurance companies and adjusters often times dramatically undervalue car accident claims. - Insurance companies routinely offer small settlement figures compared to what victims might win in a civil trial. - Since many injuries sustained during car accidents reveal themselves slowly over time, there is a danger that, without the help of a lawyer, you may settle for too little to cover the cost of your long-term medical care. An experienced car accident lawyer may direct you to medical professionals who will examine you with an eye toward future medical expenses. - A seasoned car accident attorney will know how to discover facts that will strengthen the liability part of your claim through discovery, investigation, accident reconstructions and depositions of witnesses and experts. - A veteran car accident lawyer will negotiate tough with insurance companies, earning maximum recovery. - A motor vehicle attorney will advise you concerning any statutes of limitations that might apply to your case. ## Our Car Accident Lawyers Are Here To Help The car accident lawyers at Green & Schafle understand how costly and distressing a car accident can be.
