Cars have come a long way in recent years, and they're built now to be safer than ever before. But even modern vehicles fail to keep drivers and passengers safe sometimes, leading to devastating car accidents. These can be some of the most overwhelming and confusing accidents to deal with, especially if the part of the vehicle that caused your injury was supposed to keep you safe.
Accidents involving defective vehicles are high-stakes cases, and there will be many legal obstacles in your path. Rely on a car accident lawyer who has the experience to overcome those obstacles. Turn to Richard E. Lewis, P.S.
Nearly any component of a vehicle, whether yours or another driver's, can lead to injury when it doesn't do its job. Some defects, such as issues with the brakes or steering, make a collision more likely to happen in the first place; others, such as defective seatbelts and airbags, cause more serious injuries when there is a collision. These are often called "crashworthiness" claims, and they can involve pursuing compensation from several sources, including:
The driver of the vehicle that crashed into yours may also be partially responsible. This can lead to situations where liability is disputed between several negligent parties while you are caught in the middle, waiting for the compensation you need to rebuild your life.
Attorney Richard E. Lewis understands the impact your accident has had on your life, and his priority is to help you get the compensation you need in a timely manner. Richard will negotiate with the negligent parties, their insurance companies and their lawyers to help move toward a positive outcome for you. He has the experience and resources to take on auto manufacturers and other big companies that might be responsible for your injuries. And if they won't come to a fair settlement, he is prepared to take them to trial.
