Common types of car accidents

Head-on car crash

This involves two vehicles crashing front-to-front, often at high speeds, and they frequently result in severe or even fatal injuries. A head-on collision attorney can help determine who was at fault and pursue compensation for injured victims.

Rear-end collisions

These are among the most common accidents, typically caused by a driver following too closely or not braking in time. Even low-speed rear-end crashes can cause whiplash and other neck injuries. If you've been hurt in a rear-end collision, a rear-end collision injury lawyer can help prove the other driver's negligence and pursue compensation for your losses.

T-bone collisions

A T-bone collision is a side-impact crash (shaped like a "T" at impact) that often happens when a driver runs a red light or stop sign at an intersection. These broadside crashes often result in severe injuries to the struck vehicle's occupants. A T-bone crash attorney can investigate the accident, determine who failed to yield, and help injured victims seek compensation.

Side impact car crash

Side-impact collisions happen when one vehicle hits the side of another, often at intersections when a driver fails to yield or runs a red light. Because the sides of cars have less protection, even a moderate impact can cause serious injuries to the occupants.

Hit-and-run cases

A hit-and-run accident is one where the at-fault driver flees the scene illegally. Victims still have options to seek compensation through their own insurance or other avenues. A hit-and-run accident lawyer can help navigate these claims and work to identify the responsible driver.

Multiple vehicle accidents

Multi-vehicle accidents (chain-reaction pile-ups) involve three or more vehicles, often starting with one crash that triggers others on busy roads or highways. Figuring out who is at fault can be difficult since multiple drivers may share blame. A multi-vehicle accident attorney can analyze the crash, determine each party's liability.

Questions and Answers

What should I do right after a car accident?

How do I know if I have a car accident or vehicle accident case?

What types of compensation can I recover after a car accident?

How long do I have to file a car accident claim?

How long does it take to resolve a car accident lawsuit?

The short answer is that the timeline for resolving a car accident claim can vary widely. Some cases settle relatively quickly, and others can take years – it really depends on the circumstances. Here are a few factors that influence how long it takes. Severity and complexity of the case. If your accident was straightforward (clear liability and minor injuries), it might settle in just a few months. However, if there are questions about who was at fault or if injuries are severe and require lengthy treatment, the case will likely take longer to resolve. Medical recovery time: It’s often wise to wait until you are either fully recovered or have a clear prognosis before settling, so all your medical costs and future needs are known. This process (reaching maximum medical improvement) can take months or more than a year for serious injuries, and the claim usually won’t settle before then. Insurance negotiations. Once you file a claim, there will be an investigation and negotiation with the insurance company. Insurers might make a quick low offer, but negotiating for a fair settlement can take time and back-and-forth. This phase can last weeks or several months, depending on how willing the insurer is to agree to a fair amount. Lawsuit and court schedule. If a fair settlement can’t be reached, your attorney may file a lawsuit. After a lawsuit is filed, both sides go through discovery (exchanging evidence, depositions, etc.), which can take many months. Courts are often backlogged, so simply getting a trial date could take a year or more from the date the lawsuit is filed. Even after a lawsuit starts, settlement can occur at any point. In fact, many cases settle on the eve of trial. In summary, a simple claim might resolve in a matter of months, whereas a complex lawsuit could take a year or two (or more) to fully conclude. Most car accident cases are settled out of court, but the negotiation and legal process require patience. Your attorney can give you a better timeline based on the specifics of your case and will work to resolve it as efficiently as possible while still maximizing your compensation.
