Car/Auto Accident

A car/auto accident is a traffic accident involving one or more vehicles. A car/auto accident may result in (1) injury or death to one or more people, (2) damage to the vehicle or vehicles involved, and/or (3) damage to private or public property such as light poles, fences, or buildings. If you have been in a car/auto accident, it is important to gather the insurance information of everyone involved, identify any witnesses, and, if necessary because of injury or by law, report the accident to the local police or sheriff's department. Legal responsibility for most car/auto accidents is usually determined by which party was careless, a process for which a lawyer may be helpful.
