FAQs

A: After being in a car accident, evidence is vital to proving fault and showing the extent that you were affected. Examples of useful evidence can include pictures and video of the scene, your visible injuries, and the damage to both vehicles. Witness statements from passengers in your car or bystanders who saw the accident happen can make a big difference in proving who should be liable for the incident. When meeting with your lawyer at Blinder Law, the more evidence you have, the better we can understand what happened and work to advocate for your fair compensation.

A: Motorcyclists can take several precautions to help reduce the chances of being in a serious accident. Riders must always gear up, wear a helmet, be seen, stay alert, practice extra diligence at intersections, avoid speeding, not riding in bad weather, and riding a motorcycle that is appropriate based on size and skill level. But keep in mind that even the most cautious motorcyclist may find themselves in an accident because a reckless car driver hit them. If you or someone you care about has been injured in a motorcycle crash, now is the time to get legal support.

A: Vehicles like semis and other commercial trucks are vastly larger than passenger cars. In fact, they can weigh around 80,000 pounds while most passenger vehicles are only 3,000-4,000 pounds. So you can imagine that in the event of a collision between the two, it is often the passenger car driver and passengers who suffer the most. Truck drivers, trucking companies, and part manufacturers owe a duty of care to the public to ensure that trucks are safe to drive so that serious accidents can be avoided. Unfortunately, these parties do not always prioritize the safety of the public, and when an accident happens, assistance from a lawyer may be needed.

A: Yes, it is possible to obtain repayment for your medical bills and other losses after being in a rideshare accident. However, many people have noticed that it is difficult to do so on their own. Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft intentionally create a distance between themselves and the liability associated with car accidents. These companies may say that they offer compensation to those who were injured while riding as a passenger, but it’s not as easy to obtain as they make it seem. Having a lawyer intervene to speak with the rideshare company can coax them into handling the situation as they should in a way that is fair for the victims involved.

A: There are many ways that a wrongful death can happen. Essentially, if a party’s actions or inaction led to another’s death, then the surviving family who relied on the deceased can come forward and file a wrongful death lawsuit. Examples of incidents that can be wrongful death related include car accidents, workplace accidents, construction accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability, defective product cases, and more. If you are grieving the loss of a loved one who you believe was taken before their natural time due to an at fault party, then now is the time to speak with our team at Blinder Law.
