Single-vehicle collisions apply when a driver and any passengers are injured or killed. For single-vehicle accidents, liability may lay on multiple different factors. It may depend on environmental factors or car malfunctions. More popular, though, is negligence on the driver’s part. If so, it’s necessary to hire an attorney who understands negligence. An attorney can effectively identify elements of negligence and best represent you or your loved one if you have a viable claim.

Death is one of the deadliest results to come from a car accident, especially when it involves a child. It involves damages such as pain and suffering, funeral expenses, and even loss of inheritance.
