Car Crashes & Vehicle Collisions

A serious auto collision injury can turn your life upside down. You will face medical bills, lost wages, car repairs and suffering during the treatment and rehabilitation process. The effects of an automobile collision can be physically, financially and emotionally devastating.

It is reported that last year there were over 6 million motor vehicle accidents with over 2 million of those accidents resulting in injuries. Historically, motor vehicle accidents result in approximately 40,000 deaths each year. For age groups 5 to 35, auto accidents are the number one cause of death.

Straightforward Information on how to Find the Best Lawyer for Your Case.

Victims of motor vehicle collisions find themselves fighting large insurance companies that have only one goal -- to pay as little as possible. Personal injury cases are vigorously defended by the insurance industry. The resources the defendant has to fight a case are endless. The insurance companies have teams of attorneys and adjusters, along with years of experience in handling car wreck claims. Victims who try to handle their cases alone may face lengthy delays, confusing paperwork and procedures, and unfulfilled obligations. In most cases, insurance companies do not settle cases fairly and fully until you demonstrate to them that you have the expert witnesses, the resources and the attorney who is ready, willing and able to face them in court. 

If you have been seriously injured in a car crash, you need to hire a true trial attorney.  Take advantage of the free consultations and interview a number of lawyers.  Ask about his or her trial record.  Ask what he or she is willing to do for you and your case.  AVOID lawyers who handle every case that walks through their doors.  You know, they handle divorces, traffic tickets, criminal matters, wills, and any other area of law.  AVOID lawyers whose practice is partially devoted to representing insurance companies.  They have divided loyalty.  Select a trial attorney with a proven track record who exclusively represents injury victims.  How will you know?  ASK QUESTIONS.  

MOST ATTORNEY ADVERTISING PROVIDES YOU WITH NO USEFUL INFORMATION.  The ads are all the same, saying, "We are aggressive" or "free consultation." By the way, what's so special about a free consultation in an injury case? EVERYONE DOES THAT!  That is why Murphy & Murphy Law Offices is committed to providing you with useful information to assist you in hiring an attorney or handling your claim yourself.

Before you hire a lawyer or talk to the insurance company on your own, you should call us or consult with another attorney. To assist you we have written The Ultimate Consumer’s Guide to Car Crash Injuries in Nevada.  Call us to get your free copy.

Beware Before Talking to an Insurance Adjuster or Insurance Company Representative

Following a car crash it is common for an insurance adjuster to call you and attempt to take your recorded statement. You probably have no experience in making claims for injuries resulting from an auto accident. The insurance claims adjuster has years of experience and training in handling car wreck claims. While you believe the purpose of the recorded statement is merely to gain information, the ultimate goal of the insurance adjuster is to obtain information that will eliminate or significantly reduce any money the insurance company must pay for your injuries. You would be well advised not to talk to an insurance adjuster before you have talked to an attorney.

Little did you know that when you were involved in an auto accident you would be thrown into a battle zone with an insurance company. The insurance industry has declared war on injured people and their attorneys. The insurance industry has funded a multibillion-dollar advertising campaign attempting to convince the public and potential jurors that all vehicle collision cases and injury claims are frivolous. At Murphy & Murphy Law Offices, if we accept your accident case it is because we believe it is meritorious and you deserve a trial by jury. It is our belief that it is of the utmost importance that auto collision victims know their rights and receive proper handling and advice in dealing with the insurance company.
