For law firms and attorneys that handle accident cases, the vast majority of their clients have been involved in automobile accidents. While auto accidents may be the most common cases handled by accident attorneys, there are also some firms and professionals that specialize in injuries due to other types of accidents.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are similar in many ways to accidents involving passenger vehicles, but they’re also different in several ways. A motorcycle crash, even at low speeds on city streets, can cause much more significant -or even life threatening- injuries.
Hiring accident attorneys who are familiar with motorcycle laws and the serious injuries to riders, which can result from vehicle impact, is critical to your case. You need an attorney who knows the right experts to call, to ensure you get the compensation you deserve, both immediately, and for issues you may encounter in the future as a result of the accident.
Truck Accidents
Crashes involving big rigs are particularly dangerous because of the massive size and weight of these vehicles. Many truck accidents result in fatalities or serious health issues for all involved. There are also very specific regulations and requirements for commercial drivers, both owner-operators and company drivers, and they can often be essential in proving fault by the truck driver.
Knowledge of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, as well as experience in handling these often very complicated cases, are all part of the services that accident attorneys can provide.
Train Accidents
While not as common as motorcycle or truck accidents, accident attorneys with experience working with train accident victims have specialized knowledge of all aspects of inspection, safety, and operation of the railway system.
Injuries from train accidents, including commuter trains and “el” trains, can be serious, with fatalities often a result of the crash. Involving accident attorneys as soon as possible when these types of tragedies occur is the best way to ensure you will have the assistance you need to be compensated for your injuries or loss.
Remember that top accident attorneys will provide a free consultation to discuss your case. In addition, accident attorneys will only collect their fees if your case settles, so you have no out of pocket expenses for the legal representation you need.
