Montgomery Car Accidents: Common Injuries and How to Protect Your Rights

Car accidents can result in serious injuries and losses for many victims in the Montgomery area. To protect your rights, you should always seek medical help and begin treatment immediately after an injury. Then, you should speak with a Montgomery car accident lawyer at the Law Office of Richard F. Matthews, Jr. about your legal options.


Common Car Accident Injuries

Any car accident injuries might lead to an injury claim. The following are some common injuries our firm sees among victims:


  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Lacerations and bruises
  • Joint dislocations
  • Spinal injuries
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Internal injuries


Getting medical attention should be your priority after a crash. Some injuries are apparent, while others manifest symptoms after hours, days, or even weeks. You should seek medical care as soon as you notice any possible signs of injuries. Having a prompt diagnosis can help your physical health and your legal claim.


How Can You Protect Your Rights After A Car Accident?

Seeking a legal case evaluation is the best way to know and protect your rights as an injury victim. After a car accident, navigating the legal aftermath can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with injuries, property damage, and insurance companies. Hiring a skilled lawyer can play a vital role in protecting your rights and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. 


Here are some ways a lawyer can help:

  • Legal experience - A lawyer with experience in personal injury and car accident cases possesses in-depth knowledge of relevant laws and regulations. We can interpret the complex legal jargon, assess your case's merits, and provide guidance on the best course of action.
  • Investigation - We conduct thorough investigations to gather evidence, including accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions. This critical information helps establish liability and strengthens your case.
  • Negotiation - Dealing with insurance companies can be arduous, as their primary goal is to minimize payouts. We can handle negotiations on your behalf, ensuring you don't settle for less than what you deserve.
  • Calculating damages - We can accurately assess the total damages you've incurred, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain, and suffering. This calculation is essential to claim fair compensation.
  • Court representation - If negotiations with the insurance company fail to yield satisfactory results, your lawyer can represent you in court. Our courtroom experience enables us to present your case effectively, increasing your chances of success. We will safeguard your legal rights throughout the entire process, preventing any unfair treatment or intimidation from the opposing party.
  • Peace of mind - Engaging a lawyer alleviates stress, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we handle the legal complexities.
