We Can Help with All Kinds of Car Accident Cases

At the Morris Bart law firm, we handle various kinds of car accident cases, such as:

Passenger vehicle accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Truck accidents
Bus accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Bicyclist accidents
Commercial vehicle accidents
Taxicab accidents
Rideshare vehicle accidents

In some cases, your car accident might not involve another vehicle or person directly. Instead, it may involve a government entity that neglected road maintenance, a construction company that left objects or other hazards on the road, or a vehicle malfunction.

Even if there is no other party “present” at the scene of the accident, that does not necessarily mean that no one else is liable for your damages.

When Multiple Parties Are Involved

Some car accident cases might involve more than one party, whether the accident involved more than one vehicle or if other parties might be vicariously liable for one of the driver’s actions. If your car accident involves more than one liable party, you may be able to pursue compensation from each party individually, as each party might be liable for different reasons.

For example, suppose your accident involves a commercial vehicle driver who was working when the collision occurred. In that case, their employer might be considered responsible for their actions even if they were not present at the scene.

Your lawyer can look into which other party or parties might be liable for your accident and take appropriate legal measures. For instance, other potentially liable parties might include:

The mechanic who last worked on the at-fault vehicle
The manufacturer of the vehicle or vehicle part that malfunctioned in an accident
A government municipality

You Might Be Entitled to Compensation After a Car Accident

If you were a victim of a car accident, you might be entitled to receive compensation for multiple types of damages, including:

Medical expenses: You may be able to receive compensation for the costs of treatment, surgeries, medical appointments, prescription medicines, and emergency care, among other types of medical services and products.
Lost wages: If you lost income because you had to stay home from work to recover or because the accident forced you to have your vehicle repaired or replaced, you might receive compensation for wages you lost due to missing work.
Property damage: You may get compensation for the repairs you needed to make to your vehicle or other property. If your vehicle was totaled in the accident, you might recover the cash value of the vehicle.
Pain and suffering: This type of damage can be broad and apply to physical and emotional pain. If your injuries caused you severe physical pain or you suffered emotionally after the car accident, you may include this in your damages.
Permanent disability: In severe cases, a car accident can change a person’s life forever. If you sustained a permanent disability and it affects the way you work and earn income, perform self-care and home-care duties, or navigate relationships you have with loved ones, you might receive compensation for these losses.

Your lawyer may suggest other damages to pursue, depending on the details of your case.
