Car Accident Claims: What You Need to Know

Understanding your rights and the legal process is crucial to ensuring you receive fair compensation for your losses. At Shannon Litvin Law Office, we specialize in car accident cases, providing knowledgeable guidance and skilled representation to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
Car accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, or other distractions can impair a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely.
- Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents.
- Drunk Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs significantly impairs judgment and coordination.
- Reckless Driving: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as tailgating and road rage, contribute to dangerous accidents.
- Weather Conditions: Poor weather, including rain, snow, and fog, can create hazardous driving conditions.
- Vehicle Defects: Mechanical failures or defective parts can lead to accidents and injuries.
Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle
At Shannon Litvin Law Office, we handle a wide range of car accident cases, including:
- Rear-End Collisions: Often caused by tailgating or sudden stops, these accidents can result in whiplash and other injuries.
- T-Bone Accidents: Collisions at intersections can lead to serious injuries due to the side impact.
- Head-On Collisions: These high-impact accidents often result in severe injuries and require thorough legal representation.
- Hit and Run Accidents: If the at-fault driver flees the scene, we work to identify and hold them accountable for their actions.
- Pedestrian Accidents: When a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, the resulting injuries can be severe and require specialized legal attention.
