Statistics Reveal Leading Causes Of Holiday Auto Accidents

Every holiday season, drivers hit the roads in search of the perfect gift or friendly social occasions. Every year, motorists ignore icy conditions, have too much to drink, and get so distracted by the stress of the pending holidays that they fail to take basic safety precautions whilst behind the wheel.

Accident Claims: Should You Settle Pre-Trial Or Go To Court?

Most individuals take measures to ensure that they are safe throughout the day, but unfortunately, these measures can be in vain when other people act negligently. When this occurs, it is usually the right of the victim to be reimbursed for the damages that they’ve suffered due to the other person’s negligence. While some people choose to take a settlement, others decide to take their case to court. Both of these options have pros and cons, and any accident victim should understand all of them.

The Role Of a Reputable Accident Attorney

Accident claims are all unique in case particulars and personal situations, with determination of punitive damages needing evaluation. Compensatory damages for property can be relatively simple, but personal injuries often include a “pain and suffering” component. Calculating an appropriate punitive remuneration amount can be complicated, so it is important to retain an accident attorney with a solid track record.
