free consultation (877) 715-9300 MENU JUSTICE ONE CASE AT A TIME BECAUSE YOUR CASE MATTERS FREE CASE CONSULTATION CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER Despite the numerous safety features of modern automobiles, victims involved in car accidents still face the risk of severe personal injury or wrongful death. While advances in technology have made way for airbags, crumple zones, and anti-lock brakes to protect anyone traveling by car, these features can’t prevent the negligent behaviors of other drivers. That’s where a car accident lawyer can help. Police around the United States respond to an average of 6 million car accident calls every year, and insurance companies see a similar number of car accident claims. While the at-fault driver’s insurance should cover damages to the car and any personal injury damages, that compensation is not awarded automatically, and it often does not cover the full extent of the accident. After a car or truck accident, the last thing you want to have to do is deal with an insurance company, especially when the insurance company will likely resist paying out a full and proper settlement. You need a car accident lawyer on your side to prove the value of your case and fight for the compensation you deserve. When you’re ready to begin building your claim, fill out the form below to set up a free consultation with an injury attorney at Wettermark Keith.
