Car accidents are one of the leading causes of death for thousands of people each year. This number continues to rise and is predicted to be the number one cause of accidental death over the next couple of years. This is a depressing fact considering that most car accidents are preventable. It is also the reason why there are more than enough auto accident lawyers or car accident lawyers who specialize in car accident cases in almost every major city in the country.

Car accidents are also the most common cause of personal injury claims. In a car accident claim, you have the right to compensation for the injuries, suffering and pain caused by an auto accident through no fault of your own. Claims can include coverage against uninsured drivers, serious injuries, medical expenses incurred as a result of a car accident, loss of income and defective vehicle claims and compensation claims for pedestrians.

If you are the victim of an auto accident, it is of utmost importance that you know and assert your rights. And since your rights and regulations depend in the state or locale where the accident takes place, you should check you local state regulations.

If you are to successfully claim compensation for a car accident, you need the help of the specialists, specifically auto accident lawyers. There are also auto accident attorneys, motorcycle accident lawyers, truck accident lawyers or accidents lawyers, depending on the kind of accident you are involved in. An auto accident lawyer or any of these lawyers for that matter, will provide the legal assistance needed if the accident was not your fault. The possibility of monetary compensation for an auto accident that was not your fault and has caused you injury is high. Normally, these costs are covered by insurance companies but an auto accident lawyer can get you full compensation for all losses including loss of earnings, medical expenditures, and damage caused by the accident. In addition, an auto accident lawyer can also help in situations where the individual at fault is not insured and as a result cannot pay through insurance.

In auto accidents where someone else was at fault, the burden of proof that there was negligence involved, lies on your shoulders. Courts of law and judges consider a number of factors when trying to determine whether there is negligence involved. And attempting to prove a case of negligence is what an auto accident lawyer does best. Many lawyers offer initial consultations for free which makes it easier for you to find out whether you have a good, solid case.
