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:
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 successfully claim compensation. Insurance 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.

about our firm’s experience with motorcycle claims.
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.
