Auto accidents come in many forms. While car accidents are the most common, that is due simply to the number of cars that are on the road. There are also motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, rideshare accidents, bus accidents, and any other kind of vehicle you can picture. Accidents of this nature may be hit-and-run accidents, head-on collisions, rear-end collisions, t-bone accidents, and the like. There are really an endless number of forms that an auto accident can occupy.
What these accidents have in common, beyond the fact that they all involve vehicles, is a breach of one party’s duty of care. When you get on the road, you are expected to follow the rules of the road, to pay attention, and all that stuff we are taught when learning to drive. When a person’s carelessness, recklessness, or negligence leads to an accident, it means that they failed to uphold their duty of care. For example, imagine a drunk driving accident. The individual who is intoxicated had to make the decision to get behind the wheel of the vehicle, therefore breaching their duty of care. A drunk driving accident like this is fairly straightforward, in a legal sense, since the individual that was intoxicated is clearly in the wrong. However, many car accidents are more complicated and take longer to determine the parties at fault. If you’ve been in a car accident, a drunk driving accident, or even a rideshare accident, then reach out to Brent Adams & Associates to discover how we can help.
Injuries from car accidents can cover a wide array of conditions, from broken bones to more serious and long-term injuries like traumatic brain injuries. Brain injuries are a particularly troublesome type of injury because each one can be so very different from the next. One person may suffer a brain injury that leaves them unable to remember great swaths of their life, another person’s could make it so they have difficulty forming new memories, and still, other injuries may not affect memories at all but things like senses, emotions, or even regulation of bodily functions. These injuries can be quite disabling and require a lot of money spent on medical care and continued care, so it is vital that you reach out to a firm like Brent Adams & Associates to ensure those responsible for causing your brain injury are held liable.
If you are suffering from a long-term disability, such as one of the brain injuries mentioned above, then you deserve to seek assistance. An LTD lawyer can help you to get everything in order to seek Social Security Disability benefits. SSD benefits can be quite tricky to get approved, far more so than most people expect. But while an attorney is no guarantee that the experience will be easier, research has shown that those that work with an SSD lawyer tend to move through the system quicker. This is due to the simple fact that an SSD lawyer understands what the system wants to see and can help you to put together a compelling application the first time around rather than waiting to apply again or send back further information to be granted approval.
