Automobile accidents are unfortunately, unavoidable consequences of today’s hectic lifestyle. Even a low speed “fender bender” can result in significant injuries.
Auto accidents require immediate attention and investigation into the facts and details surrounding the collision. Therefore, it is crucial that you contact an attorney as soon as possible so that evidence can be preserved and witnesses talked to before their memory fades. It is also important for an investigator to photograph and diagram the scene and the vehicles involved in the accident before they are repaired or altered.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are at the mercy of vehicle drivers when they cross the street, walk in a parking lot, or cross a driveway. Distracted, fatigued, or uncaring drivers all too often strike pedestrians, inflicting life-changing injuries to pedestrians just trying to get from one place to another. If you or a family member was hit by a vehicle and injured, the Fromen Firm can deal with the insurance company while you focus on recovery.
Rideshare Accidents
How we use vehicles is changing as the popularity of rideshare services like Uber and Lyft grows. The fact automobile accidents are unfortunate, unavoidable consequences of today’s hectic lifestyle remains the same. Even a low speed “fender bender” can result in significant injuries.
If you’re using a rideshare service when the vehicle’s in an accident, the legal and insurance issues grow. But the Fromen Firm can help you get the medical care and compensation you need, no matter who is involved or which party caused the crash.
For all accidents, there are also important deadlines that must be addressed after a motor vehicle accident. You have 30 days to file your No-Fault application with your insurance company to insure that your medical bills and lost wages are covered. You have no obligations to speak to representatives from any of the other automobiles involved in the accidents or their insurance company.
For over 50 years the attorneys at John J. Fromen have successfully represented automobile accident victims obtaining just compensation for the injuries sustained. Our experience is also critical in having any lost wages reimbursed and medical expenses paid.
Our firm has vast experience in handling all types of automobile accidents including, but not limited to, those involving drunk drivers, drivers under the influence of narcotics or prescription medications, intersection accidents, rear-end accidents, T-bone, and head-on collisions.
Further, you may have additional insurance available to you under your own automobile policy. This is commonly referred to as SUM, or Supplementary Underinsured or Uninsured Motorist coverage. We would be glad to discuss and review your policy with you to see if you have any of this coverage available and how it can help you in your time of need. Please call or email our office with any questions.
