Fatal Car Crash
Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury-related death in the US for people ages 3 to 33. Negligent drivers who cause serious injury to people in an auto accident are almost always represented by the attorneys from the insurance company. These lawyers are paid to prevent the injured victim from receiving a fair compensation for the injuries that were sustained. As a matter of fact, these attorneys work hard to poke holes in the victim's testimony, which may affect the credibility of the victim and the final monetary judgment from the jury. This type of insurance misconduct is rampant in today's legal process involving vehicular accidents.
Jim Leach is an experienced auto accident attorney who has successfully settled numerous cases for other clients who have been injured in auto accidents. He is well versed in the detailed processes used by insurance companies to determine the settlement and trial value of your case. As a result, his practice utilizes a unique case management system that covers all the bases in collecting the information required to defend your claim for fair compensation.
Auto accidents are generally decided using the law of negligence. If a person was operating a vehicle inappropriately resulting personal injury and/or property damage, they may be required to pay the damages that were caused by their negligence. Negligence may be defined as intentional or reckless conduct that ultimately caused the accident. 
There may also be instances where there was no negligent driver. It may be that a product liability or component defect in an automobile is responsible for injuries sustained by a consumer or user of that product. Some examples of this are the Firestone tire litigation in the 1990’s or the Ford Pinto gas tank explosions in the 1970’s.
