Auto Accident? We Can Help
It is estimated that more than two million people are killed in automobile accidents each year across the globe. Even those who observe the rules of the road, drive defensively, and wear their seatbelts can fall victim to a deadly car collision.
Though we hear about the horrors of drinking and driving from the time we are children, there are still those who feel they are able to drive a vehicle after having alcoholic beverages. Even just a couple of glasses of wine at dinner can impair your ability to react quickly enough to avoid an accident, and many people who drive after drinking do not even realize that their alcohol intake has affected their driving ability.
Some of the more common types of auto accidents are head-on collisions, rear-end collisions, and side impact collisions, all of which can result in devastation. While most car accidents involve more than one vehicle, people are killed daily in SUV rollovers and by colliding with a stationary object such as a tree or highway median. Auto accidents may also involve a collision with bicycle, motorcycle, public transportation vehicle, or a pedestrian.
Regardless of what caused the motor vehicle accident, the results can be serious injury, permanent disability, and death. The aftermath of an auto accident can be physically and financially catastrophic to the victim and families of the victim, especially when a life is lost.
What is most tragic is that car accident fatalities could have been prevented in many cases. If you have suffered or if you have lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence while driving a motor vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation. The experienced auto accident attorneys at The Cochran Firm have represented thousands of clients, just like you, who have suffered tremendous pain through no fault of their own.
