Nearly 3 million Americans are injured in motor vehicle accidents each year. Given the amount of time that people spend driving, a certain number of accidents is inevitable. However, when these collisions are avoidable and caused by driver negligence or defective products, victims are entitled to be financially compensated. Unfortunately, insurance companies tend to offer victims low initial settlements, causing many victims to settle for less than fair compensation for their pain and suffering.
Accident victims should not have to suffer because of the negligence or carelessness of another driver. To discuss your claim with an experienced Bradenton and Sarasota auto accident lawyer, contact Heintz & Becker today. Schedule a complimentary consultation. We can level the playing field and help you obtain the compensation to which you are justly entitled.
Car Accidents
A variety of factors can result in a serious car accident. If you have been involved in an auto accident, our personal injury attorneys can help determine whether another party's negligence contributed to your injuries. If so, we can help you secure compensation for your physical pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma.
Common auto accident causes include:
- Driver distraction – talking on the cell phone, adjusting the radio or other devices, talking with passengers, dealing with children or pets, eating or grooming in the car, attempting to retrieve dropped items, etc.
- Driver impairment – driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (both legal and illegal), sleepiness, illness, etc.
- Dangerous road conditions – foreign obstacles or substances on the road's surface; pot holes or other road damage; etc.
- Defective products or mechanical failure – tire blowouts, brake failure, axle failure, etc.
- Unsafe, excessively high speed.
Motor vehicle accidents frequently cause serious personal injuries. Auto accident victims may suffer traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and even wrongful death. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, you may be entitled to compensation.

Crashworthiness and Auto Defects
Crashworthiness refers to a motor vehicle's capacity to protect its occupants during a collision. Product liability law holds auto manufacturers responsible for known or foreseeable safety hazards that cause vehicles to not offer a certain level of protection during accidents.
Making an automobile crashworthy requires the implementation of safety features designed to minimize occupant injuries, prevent ejection from the vehicle, and reduce the risk of fire. Seatbelts, airbags, padded dashboards, shatterproof windows, and collapsible steering columns are the most common crashworthiness features of a car. When flawed or insufficient safety design leads to a serious personal injury, the victim may be entitled to compensation.
Our attorneys have experience in motor vehicle defect litigation. Whether your case involves structural design flaws, defective tires, or any automotive defect, we want to discuss your case with you.
