Car Accidents

Car accidents can result from a number of factors: speeding, cell phone usage, reckless driving, negligence, drugs, alcohol, defective products, poor crashworthiness of a vehicle, and other factors.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

• In 2004, 42,636 people were killed in the estimated 6,181,000 police-reported motor vehicle traffic crashes.
• 2,788,000 people were injured and 4,281,000 crashes involved property damage in 2004.
• An average of 117 people died each day in motor vehicle crashes in 2004 – one every 12 minutes.
• Car accidents are the leading cause of death for persons of every age from 3 through 33 years old.

Each year thousands of drivers are injured in auto accidents but do not receive just compensation. It is standard practice among insurance companies to initially offer victims a small settlement. At the Law Offices of Doehrman & Chamberlain, we can determine the true value of your case and the amount of compensation to which you are entitled. We have obtained million-dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of our clients. Victims who try to handle their own legal affairs after a motor vehicle accident are often left bearing the majority of the expenses from an accident that was not their fault.

Uninsured / Underinsured Drivers

Accident victims should not be responsible for the negligence or carelessness of another driver. We can help you get monetary compensation for your medical expenses.
