Distracted Driver Accidents

Many drivers on the road take for granted just how much they need to pay attention to their task. Any number of distractions can take away the focus necessary to be safe while on the road, and even a momentary lapse of attention can lead to disastrous consequences.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

One of the most devastating outcomes of a car, truck or motorcycle accident is for one of the victims to suffer a head injury. In a traffic collision, head injuries are not uncommon — and can be quite serious — for several reasons.

Spinal Cord Injuries

When you are involved in a car accident, you might be fortunate enough to escape without serious injuries. Wearing seat belts and having a car with airbags and other safety features can help you avoid traumatic injuries. Among the most serious are head injuries.

Wrongful Death

Facing the death of a loved one involves grieving and managing their affairs, including funeral planning. This process is already stressful, but it can be compounded for those who must confront the fact that their family member’s death was caused or accelerated by someone else’s negligence.
