CAR ACCIDENT INFORMATION
Information on car accident lawsuits

Contact Weitz & Luxenberg for a free consultation.

If you have important questions for a car accident lawyer, come to Weitz & Luxenberg for information. We have successfully represented injured clients for decades by securing maximum damage awards to cover medical bills and lost wages.

Automobiles have become icons of American culture. Ever since the first Model T rolled off the assembly line 100 years ago, they have defined our lives. We ride in cars everyday to get to work, to shop, or to visit friends and family. The price of gasoline is discussed as much as the weather. Songs have been written about them and played on the radio to our delight. Automobiles have made our society the most mobile in history.

But our love affair with the automobile has an ironic and deadly twist. Car crashes on our nation’s highway have become the leading cause of death for people between 2 and 34. How can that be?

According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NHTSA), an average of 117 people died each day in motor vehicle crashes in 2006 – or one automobile-related death every 12 minutes. In 2006 alone, there were an estimated 5.9 million police-reported traffic crashes, in which 42,642 people were killed and 2.6 million people were injured.

You could be the best driver in the world and more sober than a judge, but it’s the other driver that can injure you or wreck your family automobile. NHTSA reports that alcohol-related traffic fatalities rose to 17,602 in 2006 – representing 41 percent of all traffic fatalities for the year.

Seek justice . . .

If you or a loved one are in a car accident and thankfully escape injury (and the medical bills associated with it), your secondary concern is over the damage done to your car. To find out if you are entitled to monetary compensation – for personal injury or for automobile damage – you will need an experienced lawyer with a proven track record.

Weitz & Luxenberg car accident lawyers work on a contingency basis. Your legal representation is free unless we win compensation for you. It’s a Win-Win business relationship at Weitz & Luxenberg: Your lawyer gets paid only if you do.
