Topic: PERSONAL INJURY LAW
When you've been injured in a motor vehicle collision, you should not call it an "accident". To most people, including jurors, an accident is something that is no one's fault. If you've ever been rear-ended in a motor vehicle crash, it's no accident. It was the fault of the person who hit you. Instead of upholding their obligation to pay careful attention to traffic, they decided not to pay attention, and in so doing, they literally chose to crash into you. Their insurance company wants you to call this an accident in order to minimize their responsiblity.
If you've been in any motor vehicle collision, and you've been injured, please call to me to discuss your rights, as well as the responsibility of the other driver and his or her insurance company.
