Auto Accidents

At the Locks Law Firm, our car accident lawyer works diligently to ensure that accident victims are properly compensated.

MR. JERRY LINDHEIM: Automobile accidents result from a number of reasons, from a simple negligence to the reckless conduct of a driver who is intoxicated driving under the influence. It can be simple various violations of the motor vehicle code. Every state has passed laws associated with the operation or how to drive a car. We all understand that. It's basically the aftermath of a particular type of accident that causes our body to move within a car that results in different type of injuries, whether or not to our head, to our neck, our shoulders, our hands, our back or other parts of our body from the way that we move inside the care. Doctors are brought into these types of cases to evaluate each person who is injured in a particular accident, because that is described as the mechanics of a particular injury. There is closed-head type of injuries, there are herniated discs that result in our neck and in our back because of the motion of our body within a motor vehicle. All these are evaluated to determine different types of injuries which range from a neck sprain to the more complicated types of injuries that require surgical involvement. These all require appropriate assessment with the intervention of an attorney, through the assistance of medical testimony to maximize any recovery that you can obtain in these particular cases. Many insurance companies question whether or not an individual is hurt. This is what requires the medical intervention or medical doctors to come in and assess the conditions. How serious is a person injured in a particular accident? It varies on a particular circumstance. Whether or not a person is extracted from a car from the jaws of life or a simple rearender where there's not a lot of property damage, all of these types of injuries, whether or not very little property or significant property damage are all known to cause serious injuries. The insurance company is there to serve as an impediment. We get involved to overcome that impediment with regard to insurance companies who challenge every type of claim along the way. We are there to combat that particular industry, the insurance industry, with the assistance of medical providers to overcome all those hurdles that insurance companies have posed in these particular claims to maximize recovery in each and every one of these cases.
