Car accidents can have serious consequences for those involved, ranging from minor scrapes or bruises that heal over time to more serious injuries such as fractures or spinal cord injuries. In catastrophic accidents, victims may experience life-altering issues such as the loss of a limb or traumatic brain injury. We work to ensure that they will be fully compensated for these losses.

In addition to physical injuries, car accidents can leave lasting psychological repercussions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, and depression. These injuries can further extend the time needed to make a full recovery, and they can mentally and physically affect a person's overall quality of life. Our lawyers understand how to ensure that emotional trauma and other mental health issues will be addressed correctly when an injury victim recovers compensation from the responsible parties.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident?

After an accident, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself and ensure that you receive full compensation for your injuries and damages.

• Check yourself and passengers for injuries.
• Call 911.
• Move to a safe area.
• Stay calm and limit discussions about accident details; do not admit fault.
• Collect the other driver's full legal name, phone number, and insurance information, as well as contact information from any witnesses.
• Document everything at the scene, if possible, by taking photos or videos.
• Provide the police with a statement.
• Seek medical attention, preferably at an emergency room.

Demonstrating Liability Following Car Crashes

The process of proving liability following an auto accident involves demonstrating that one party was negligent, and their negligence directly resulted in harm to the victim or victims. This typically comprises three key components:

• Duty: Drivers are legally required to exercise reasonable care while operating vehicles on roadways. They have a duty towards others on the road, ensuring that they will be able to get to their destinations without suffering harm.
• Breach: A driver may breach their duty by failing to exercise reasonable care, such as by speeding and engaging in reckless driving.
• Damage or injury: A victim must establish a connection between another driver's breach of duty and the injuries they suffered in an accident.

Demonstrating each of these elements requires an objective analysis based on experience gained through years of practice representing clients in personal injury cases. At Burress Injury Law, we pride ourselves on providing tenacious legal representation for our clients. With our comprehensive knowledge of the applicable laws and the methods used to establish liability, we work to ensure that our clients will be able to receive the full compensation they deserve.

Qualified Representation

Gathering evidence, understanding law enforcement reports, and negotiating with insurers are just a few hurdles on the path toward rightful compensation. Burress Injury Law brings valuable insight and hundreds of years of collective experience to the cases we take on. We work to ease the burden on victims, allowing them to focus entirely on the recovery process while we handle the legal side of a case and fight for full and fair compensation.
