Auto Accidents

Automobile accidents result in injuries to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.   These accidents occur as a result of driver negligence, including speeding, alcohol / drugs, and failure to pay attention.   Various types of automobile accidents include:

When involved in an automobile accident, the injured party must file a no-fault application within thirty days in order to have his or her medical bills paid for and loss of wages reimbursed.   These “no-fault” benefits are paid to the injured victim, regardless of whether or not s/he was at fault.

As a result of an automobile accident, the injured party can also seek compensation for pain and suffering, as well as for loss of earnings (above those paid for by “no-fault” insurance).   All too often, the seriously injured victim of an automobile accident is left wondering whether there will be adequate insurance coverage to fully compensate him or her for the injuries sustained.   Shapiro Law Offices is adept at handling all types of automobile accident cases, with a full understanding of how to uncover various insurance policies to allow for greater awards.
