Legal claims that arise from motor vehicle accidents are typically governed by the law of negligence. Any individual who negligently operates a motor vehicle may be required to pay damages to an injured victim. A personal injury case involving a vehicle accident may become formalized through civil court proceedings, or may be resolved through an informal settlement before a lawsuit is filed. Vehicle accidents can include:

• ATV Accidents

• Automobile Accidents

• Aviation Accidents

• Bicycle Accidents

• Boating Accidents

• commercial and school bus accidents

• Motorcycle Accidents

• Pedestrian Accidents

• Rear End Collisions

• Semi-Tractor Trailer Accidents

• Truck Accidents

• Bus Accidents

• SUV Rollover Accidents

• Train Accidents

• Subway Accidents

The surviving family members of a fatally injured accident victim may be able to bring wrongful death charges against the defendant.

Aviation Accidents:

Airline crashes typically result in the most traumatic injuries and death. These cases are extremely complex and may involve federal, state, or international laws and treaties. There may also be limitations on recoveries and caps on damages. Weather, maintenance, ground preparation of flights, pilot error, manufacturing defects and controller error may all contribute to a crash.

Typically, the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) will conduct an investigation. Obtaining a copy of the NTSB report and having the evidence reviewed by an aviation expert is crucial to determining if there is a potential issue and responsibility.
