Finding a Santa Fe Personal Injury Attorney

What is a Santa Fe Personal Injury Claim?

Personal injury claims are the result of an injury caused by the negligence of another person or entity. There are many different types of personal injuries, including premises liability claims (slip-and-fall accidents, dog bites, etc.), product liability claims for dangerous or defective consumer or medical products, medical malpractice claims, wrongful death claims, workplace accident claims, nursing home neglect and abuse claims, and auto accident claims. Auto accident personal injury claims are the most common type of personal injury. In virtually every case, driver error is the cause of an auto accident.

Driver error usually translates into liability for an accident. A jury will ask whether the driver acted in a manner that another reasonable person, given the same set of circumstances, would have done. The answer to that is usually that the person did not act reasonably. When a driver exceeds the speed limit, tailgates another driver, changes lanes without properly looking, or runs a stop light or stop sign, he has committed a driver error, thus his or her negligence caused the accident. It can be extremely beneficial to speak to a Santa Fe personal injury lawyer from Sullo & Sullo to ensure your rights are protected and that your personal injury compensation is enough to fully cover your injuries and damages.

What Types of Galveston County Personal Injuries Does Sullo & Sullo Handle?

Auto accidents occur every single minute of every day across the United States. While some of these accidents are minor parking lot bump-ins that do not result in any significant injuries, others can cause severe or catastrophic injury or even death. Auto accidents include large commercial truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, auto-pedestrian and auto-bicyclist accidents, and, of course, car accidents. An auto accident can occur between two vehicles or can involve multiple vehicles. Motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents tend to result in very serious injuries because motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians have virtually no protection, other than a helmet if worn.

  • Auto accident injury claims may include auto-pedestrian accidents, or car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. To ensure you receive a full and fair settlement amount that will cover all your damages, it is important to speak to a Santa Fe auto accident lawyer from Sullo & Sullo as quickly as possible after the accident.
  • Car accident injury claims may be for a two-car accident or a multi-car accident. A high-speed collision may have caused your accident, or you may have been involved in a T-bone accident, a texting-while-driving accident, a head-on collision, or a rear-end crash. Distracted driving is one of the primary reasons for car accidents. We are a nation of multi-taskers with many people texting, talking on their cell phones, fiddling with car controls, eating entire meals, or turning around to see what the children and pets are doing in the back seat. If you are the victim of a car accident caused by the negligence of another driver, a Santa Fe car accident lawyer can help.
  • Truck accidents often cause catastrophic injuries to those in smaller passenger vehicles. Because the injuries can be so severe—like spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries—having a Santa Fe catastrophic 18-wheeler accident lawyer helping you get the medical treatment you need while fighting for a full settlement is essential.
  • Motorcycle accident injury claims can also be extremely serious. Motorcyclists have virtually no protection, other than a helmet. Even motorcyclists who are extremely careful and who have taken a motorcycle safety course are at risk from drivers who fail to properly look for the smaller vehicles.

Damages You Might Expect from a Santa Fe Personal Injury Claim

While your exact damages will depend on the details and circumstances surrounding your accident as well as the extent of your injuries, you are generally entitled to receive medical expenses, lost wages, lost future wages, and pain and suffering. Pain includes actual physical pain as well as emotional pain and trauma. Pain and suffering also encompass the many ways you are no longer able to live your day-to-day life, work, or enjoy your life as you did prior to the accident.

The Many Ways a Santa Fe Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help with Your Personal Injury Claim

While you can handle your Santa Fe personal injury claim on your own, it rarely results in a positive outcome. Insurance companies go out of their way to limit the amount they pay out. They often offer a quick, low settlement amount that doesn’t begin to cover all the injured party’s damages. Many individuals accept such an offer because they are financially desperate or just want the entire process to be over. Later, when they realize the settlement doesn’t begin to cover all their damages, it’s too late.

Those who are legally represented virtually always obtain a much higher settlement amount. Your Santa Fe personal injury attorney will definitively prove liability by investigating your accident, then will carefully calculate your damages. Your attorney will then negotiate with the insurance company for a full settlement. If these negotiations are unsuccessful, your attorney will file a lawsuit on your behalf and litigate your claim in court.
