Motor Vehicle Accidents
The most common cause of personal injury and wrongful death is
a car, truck or motorcycle accident. According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
Someone in the United
States is involved in a car accident every 10 seconds.
These accidents
may be caused by another driver’s negligence, such as reckless
or drunken driving, or they may be caused by a product or maintenance
defect. Nierman Law, P.L.C. has experience handling even the most
serious claims.
Following an accident, it is in your best interest to consult
with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Determining
who is
liable for your accident damages and how much you are entitled
to recover can be a complicated process, often requiring knowledge
of state statutes, police accident report codes, appeals courts
decisions, and insurance policies. Nierman Law, P.L.C. can help
guide you through this process. After experiencing the trauma of
a traffic accident, we understand the stress of dealing with the
police, opposing claim adjusters, medical professionals, rental
car companies, as well as your own insurance companies. We can
assist you in dealing with all of these parties to build a cohesive
claim strategy, secure evidence, and preserve your rights. In some
cases, the insurance company may be forced to pay you punitive
damages because of bad
faith claim handling.
In most cases you will be forced to deal with a large insurance
company. Even if the person at fault was uninsured or underinsured,
we can help you with your claim for compensation. As the primary
cause for personal injury, traffic accidents are the highest cost
to insurance companies. These companies will have teams of adjusters
and lawyers working hard to limit the amount of benefits paid on
your claim. However, Nierman Law, P.L.C. will be on your side to
help you and protect your rights.

Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders face additional risks on the road and are therefore
more likely to experience more serious injury in an accident. Nearly
two-thirds of motorcycle accidents that involve another vehicle
are caused by the other driver. Often the other driver is not paying
enough attention to notice the person on a motorcycle.
The unique issues of a motorcycle accident claim require the
knowledge of an experienced personal injury lawyer. Issues such
as compliance
with traffic laws, motor vehicle regulations, medical treatment,
and liability could delay your claim.

Commercial Truck Accidents
Traffic accidents involving commercial trucks are often much more
serious than the typical car accident. Despite the fact that commercial
truck drivers have been shown to be more cautious than the average
automobile driver, the additional weight and obstructions of driving
the larger vehicle often result in more serious accidents.
These accidents also result in more complex claims. Determining
the liable parties means a careful review of all the facts and
relationships. In addition to the truck driver, trucking companies,
contractors, employers, and insurance companies may all be potential
parties to your claim.
As the driver of a commercial truck you may be looking at a worker’s
compensation claim in addition to your personal injury claim against
the liable party. Your unique situation requires the careful review
of an experienced legal team.
