Vehicle and Automobile Accidents
We all rely on automobiles. Whether we are the ones doing the driving or the ones being driven, driving a vehicle is an essential part of our lives. Many people rely on their vehicles in order to get to and from work. Some vehicles are an actual part of the job for those employed as landscapers, truck drivers, exterminators or the like. Others rely on their vehicles to transport families and children to school, activities and sporting events. Yet, our reliance on vehicles can quickly turn into disaster, leaving us injured, confused and lost in a maze of insurance company nightmares.
Have you, or someone you know, recently been injured in an automobile accident? If your life has been turned upside down by an automobile or other transportation related accident you need to call Jim and Carrie Carroll at C&C Law.
At C&C Law, we represent injured people – many of whom have been hurt in auto accidents. We fight for the rights of the good people of the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania in the Endless Mountain Region including Bradford, Sullivan, Tioga and Susquehanna counties and our neighbors of New York in Tioga and Chemung counties, in all transportation related and automobile accident matters.
Every day, we deal with auto insurance companies and medical providers as we fight to get our clients the benefits they deserve. Because we focus our attention on injured persons, we have a unique understanding of all the circumstances involved in getting injured as a result of another driver’s negligent actions.
The more we drive the more likely it is that we will get into an accident. The real question is . . . how serious will that accident be? Accidents range from fender-benders to all out vehicle collision and crashes. The unpredictable nature of car accidents can lead to minor crashes resulting in severe injuries. A fender-bender can result in whiplash or soft tissue damage. While these injuries may seem trivial to some, we understand that their effects can be chronic and disastrous. At C&C Law, we know that the aftermath of even ‘minor’ injuries can affect your job, your family, your life and your pocketbook.
And when the injuries aren’t minor? When an auto accident causes severe injuries that can affect you the rest of your life? Serious accidents can result in trauma, shock, burns, brain damage and other serious injuries. We understand that any injury can be crippling physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially and we are here to fight for you – to keep you, your life, and your family afloat as you focus on getting better in the aftermath of an auto accident.
If you’ve been injured, you probably have a lot of questions. Who is going to pay for my medical bills? Will my insurance company cover this injury? Is the other driver’s insurance company going to take care of me? What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance? What about the time I’ve had to take off work? What about my pain and suffering? These are all important questions that deserve answers.
Perhaps the most complicated, fearful, and annoying aspect of an auto accident is dealing with insurance companies. It is important to remember that insurance companies are, at all times, representing THEIR interests. Insurance companies just love it when an injured person attempts to ‘go it alone’ with their auto claim. When they offer you a settlement or a specific amount for your injuries, do not accept it! Insurance companies historically bully injured people into small settlements, believing that most injured people just don’t know any better and won’t bother hiring a lawyer who does.
At C&C Law, we’ve been handling insurance companies for a long time and know how their games are played. We have a great success record in getting our injured clients the full amount of benefits to which they are entitled. You have rights and deserve protection. Let Jim and Carrie help you through the insurance company nightmare and fight to get you the maximum money you deserve.
Automobile and transportation related injuries are extremely common. In 2003, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, there were 4,746,307 total highway crashes involving passenger cars. There was another 79,081 involving motorcycles and 59,672 involving buses. Trucking accidents are also common. For highway accidents involving light trucks there were 3,345,165 accidents and another 436,082 involving large trucks. These statistics are very revealing. These numbers tell us how common it is for people to suffer serious injuries in automobile, trucking, or other transportation related injuries. Whether your injury resulted from a car, truck, bus, or motorcycle, C&C Law can help.
Jim and Carrie have extensive experience in personal injury, automobile accident and transportation related cases. They have seen it all from the fender-bender, to the motorcycle accident, to the accident involving a large truck, to the pedestrian or bicyclist hit by a car. We offer you that experience today.
C&C Law will get you through the difficult times that follow an auto accident. Almost daily, we fight with insurance companies and know how they try to prevent you from getting the compensation you deserve. If you have been injured in Northern Pennsylvania or in neighboring Southern New York, contact Jim or Carrie Carroll at C&C Law to obtain the aggressive legal representation you need. It only takes one phone call to ensure that your interests are protected. Contact us today for a free consultation.
