Car wrecks can come in many forms, and involve anywhere from one vehicle to dozens of vehicles.

Multi-Vehicle Car Accidents

Multi-vehicle car accidents are the most common type of car accident. They can occur for several reasons, including:

Distracted driving

Drunk driving

– Reckless driving

Speeding

– Drunk driving

– Reckless driving

Hit and Run Accidents

Hit-and-run accidents are unfortunately common. If a driver hits you and then does not stop after the collision, they are considered a hit and run driver and violate multiple traffic laws.

If you are involved in a hit and run accident, it will be essential that you note the make, model, and license plate number of the car that struck you. In addition, you should seek immediate medical help if you’re hurt. Also, if possible, get the contact information of any witnesses who may have seen what happened.

Finally, contact the police as soon as you can. Once you give the best description of the hit-and-run vehicle as possible, officers will work to apprehend that driver.

Side-Impact Car Crashes

Side-impact car crashes are often referred to as T-bone accidents because they resemble the letter “T.” These are, unfortunately, often fatal accidents.

Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions occur when two cars collide while traveling in opposite directions. Many extremely dangerous car crashes happen when a wrong-way driver is impaired due to alcohol or drug use. That driver often has no idea their vehicle is about to encounter oncoming traffic.

Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end accidents are among the most common. These accidents occur when one car hits another car from behind. A rear-end collision can be very serious and often result in whiplash or other injuries.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident?

If you are involved in an auto accident, it is important to take the following steps: – Stay calm and do not panic.

– Move your car out of the way of traffic if possible.

– Check on all drivers and passengers involved in the accident.

– Exchange information with other drivers involved in the accident (name, address, phone number, insurance company, policy number).

– Take pictures of the scene of the accident.

– Contact the police.

If you are injured in a car accident, seek medical attention right away. The car accident attorneys at Cantor Grana Buckner Bucci will work with you to get the compensation you deserve for your injuries. We hope you never have to experience a car accident, but we are here to help if you do.

Recoverable Damages After a Car Accident

A car accident can result in several damages, often divided into two categories: economic and non-economic.

Economic Damages

Economic damages include any losses that can be quantified in terms of money. This includes things like medical bills, property damage, and lost wages.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages cannot be quantified in terms of money. This includes things like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and others. 

If you are injured in a car accident, the car accident attorneys at Cantor Grana Buckner Bucci will work to get you the compensation you deserve for both economic and non-economic damages. We understand that being involved in a car accident can be a traumatic experience, and we want to help make things right.

What is My Car Accident Case Worth?

It is difficult to determine the value of a car accident case without looking at all the facts and circumstances surrounding it. However, some factors are taken into consideration when determining the value of a car accident case:

– The severity of your injuries.

– The amount of property damage.

– The extent of your lost wages.

– Whether or not you were at fault for the accident.

– The jurisdiction in which the car accident occurred.
