Automobile Accidents

The major cause of accidents is negligence, that is, inattention, distraction, or poor condition of the motor vehicle, or in some cases the driver. We at Burns LeBrocq Wolfe and Associates understand those events, their causes and their consequences. We also know the paths through the legal mazes that often accompany any claims for damages by those injured. Often, in a severe accident, it can be difficult to sort out exactly what took place. The victims may not be able to remember or to tell others what happened, and witnesses are often missing details because it all happened so quickly. When that happens, you need the experience of Burns LeBrocq Wolfe and Associates to help you with your case.

A case involving negligence is often based on the operator's failure to obey traffic signs or signals, to signal when turning, and to follow the speed limit, driving a car under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, or violation of some other law. Auto accidents caused by drunk drivers may also lead to claims against bars for dram shop violations. Collisions caused by hit and run drivers can still permit claims, even if the driver of the car who caused the crash is not available or identified.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else’s fault, call us at 1-732-596-1999 for a free case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
