According to national statistics, approximately 6,000,000 auto accidents occur each year, causing close to 40,000 fatalities. Broken down by age, traffic crashes are the number one cause of death for every age from 3 through 33. Accidents involving automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, pedestrians and buses unfortunately result in serious injuries. These automobile accidents may be due to driver error. However, other factors may play a part in causing these accidents. For example, some vehicles are poorly designed or manufactured. Poorly maintained roads and improper traffic control signals are responsible for causing some car accidents. Some motor vehicle accident circumstances even require the use of accident reconstruction experts to determine the cause of the accident.

Most auto accident victims never receive the full amount of damages to which they are entitled. The major reason is that they don't know the full value of their claim and will often accept the first offer that an insurance company makes. Evaluating all the possible causes of a serious motor vehicle accident is the role of an experienced auto accident lawyer. In addition, motor vehicle accident victims may need a lawyer's help in finding an appropriate physician or arranging for a medical care provider to wait for payment until the case is settled. Motor vehicle collisions often cause extraordinary suffering and loss to motorists, passengers and pedestrians, in addition to property damage to your car. Injured victims face medical bills, lost wages, loss of ability to fully work in the future, pain and suffering. Mr. Peterson wants to help you get the best and most appropriate medical care so that you can recover as soon as possible.
