Bautista LeRoy Law Firm provides expert assistance for single-vehicle accidents. Since 1990, our attorneys have provided Kansas City Metropolitan Area residents with outstanding legal representation in personal injury cases. Thanks to years of experience we have consistently obtained positive results for clients.

This article details the factors contributing to single-vehicle accidents, the compensation options available and why an attorney could prove beneficial.

 

What Are The Common Sources Of Single Vehicle Crashes?

At first glance, accidents involving one vehicle might seem straightforward. However, their causes are far more complicated. Here are some of the common contributors:

  • Distracted Driving
  • Speeding
  • Weather Conditions
  • Driving Under the Influence
  • Vehicle Defects
  • Fatigue

 

What Factors Increase My Risk For A Single Vehicle Crash?

There are multiple factors that increase the probability of accidents in a single car, including:

  • Time of Day
  • Road Conditions
  • Age and Experience
  • Rural Area

 

Can I Receive Compensation After Being A Single Car Accident?

Even when only one vehicle is involved, there may be grounds for filing a personal injury claim. If your accident was the result of defective automobile parts or road conditions with missing signs and poor maintenance practices, you could file compensation claims against both manufacturers and local governments that have maintenance duties to address them.

 

Why Hiring A Personal Injury Attorney Would Prove Beneficial?

Personal injury attorneys specialize in representing injured parties and can be invaluable when making claims for compensation for various reasons:

  • Law Expertise
  • Identifying Liabilities
  • Maximizing Compensation
  • Negotiation Skills

 

When Should An Attorney Be Hired?

After an accident occurs, immediate legal advice must be sought immediately. Delays could affect evidence-gathering efforts and shorten your statute of limitation window. Hiring one early can get them working on your case immediately.

Should you experience injuries that require long-term treatment and insurance issues arise, seek legal advice immediately. A skilled attorney will ensure any settlement reached covers future medical costs.

 

What Are The Criteria To Find An Effective Attorney?

  • Experience: For optimal representation in a car accident case, hire an attorney with years of expertise.
  • Reputation: Search for an attorney with a strong track record based on client testimonials and case outcomes.
  • Communication Skills: Your attorney should keep you updated with the status of your case by communicating all options clearly.
