Car, Bike and Pedestrian Accidents

Road accidents can involve cars or trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and other vehicles. If the accident is minor, with no injuries and minimal damage, the participants in the accident can agree amongst themselves and forego involving the insurance company or police. While this does happen, it happens very rarely.

Most often, you have to hire a lawyer to defend your rights in court, receive material compensation, or prove your innocence in the accident. Remember that the consequences of an accident may be delayed. For example, the injured person may think they are fine, when they have actually sustained internal hemorrhage or breaks in their bones. Therefore, it is advisable not to abandon the police protocol for recording an accident.

Quite often, road accidents are caused by truck drivers who do not have time to rest and have been on the road without sleep for a long time. In this case, both people and valuable cargo that was transported in the car may be damaged. According to statistics, the truck driver is not always to blame for such accidents. More likely is that the culprit of the accident is the driver of a car who violated traffic rules and flew under the wheels of a truck. The lawyer will help to understand everything and defend their rights, achieving compensation for damage to valuable cargo and a damaged car.

Accidents involving motorcyclists or cyclists happen often. They can violate traffic rules or jump on the road in front of cars, becoming responsible for an accident. The same applies to pedestrians, who can be both the culprits and victims of an accident. It is very difficult to prove your innocence in court and receive compensation for material and moral damage on your own. It is better to immediately contact a lawyer for help.

In any case, there will be some kind of damage in the accident. It may only be material, which is undoubtedly the best option, because human life and health are priceless. This is not always the case, however, and the health of the participants in the accident can be damaged. The worst outcome is that there may be fatalities. Also, a person injured in an accident may subsequently become disabled due to their injuries.

The lawyer will help to assess all material damage to the victims, which will include the cost of treatment. Compensation can also be obtained by relatives who have paid for medical care for the victim of the accident before their death, as well as payment for the funeral. In the event of an accident involving trucks, when commercial cargo is transported, the company responsible for the condition of the road section where the accident occurred may be prosecuted if it is established that the accident occurred due to the poor condition of the route.
