Auto accidents are the most common source of personal injury. According to National Safety Council, approximately 46,800 people died from motor vehicle fatalities in 2005. The NHTSA ranks Florida in the number two position in the nation with approximately 3,543 traffic fatalities, an increase of nine percent over the previous year. The state of California leads the nation with 4,329 traffic fatalities and Texas came in a close third with 3,504 traffic fatalities. It is safe to say that driving in a motor vehicle can be dangerous.

When a motor vehicle accident causes death, severe injuries, or permanent disabilities, there is trauma in the life and family of the injured victim. They also lead to a domino effect causing grief, more pain, emotional distress, lost wages, and medical expenses.

The injured car accident victim or family may be entitled to receive financial compensation. Unfortunately, due to a lack of knowledge or representation, often car accident victims don't receive the full compensation of damages they may be entitled to. In many instances, car accident victims are unaware of the full value of their claim and accept the first offer from the insurance company. The insurance companies are hoping that car accident victims take the first offer and go away. It is estimated that insurance companies are saving millions of dollars, because auto accident victims don't know their rights. Do not be a statistic and accept an offer from an insurance company without speaking to a Personal Injury Attorney first.
