| Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car accident lawyers are
needed because car accidents affect 1% of the U.S. population
annually. Over three million people are injured each year in car
accidents, resulting in billions of dollars in damages.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, you need an
experienced motor vehicle accident lawyer. You may be entitled to
recover damages for your lost wages, property damage, medical bills
and pain and suffering.
At the Law Offices of Joyce A. Faraone we have handled numerous car
accident claims and uderstand the intricacies of the human anatomy and
how it is affected by sudden impact. Our staff knows how to deal with
insurance companies to negotiate the best result for you.
Below are some general statistics on car accidents in the United
States from the National Safety Counsel (NSA):
Over 4,000,000 people visit the emergency department every year due to
a car accident.
42,000 deaths are reported every year from car accidents.
Nearly 10% of car accident victims become disabled.
2 out of every 5 deaths in car accidents are alcohol related.
What to do I do if I have been involved in a car accident?
Even if you are careful, you may be unlucky enough to need the
services of a car accident lawyer. Every week, we are contacted by
many people who want to know what to do after a car, motorcycle or
truck accident. Here are seven rules to help change your luck:
At the accident scene, the fist seven rules are:
Remain calm
Stop in a safe place
Make sure no one is hurt
Call 911 and ask for the police, and an ambulance if necessary
Get the other driver's name, address and phone number. Record his
vehicle registration number. If you believe the other driver is
intoxicated, tell the police officer
Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of the witnesses
Ask the police officer for the police report number and where and when
a copy will be available
Afterwards:
Contact our office at 401-467-9110. We are here to help you .
THE CALL IS FREE AND SO IS THE
ADVICE !
We work on a contingency fee
basis. We do not get paid, unless you get paid
Contact your insurer
Get medical treatment promptly and continue to get all the medical
treatment you need for as long as you need it
Do not speak to the insurance company for the other driver. Instead,
tell the insurance company representative to call your lawyer
Have someone take photos of the cars and any skid marks on the road
(skid marks start to fade within days)
Keep track of all the places you have gotten medical treatment, the
physical ailments that you have and how the injuries affect your
day-to-day life
We want you to be safe. Be a responsible, defensive driver. Approach
intersections with caution, follow other cars with plenty of room, use
your mirrors, and slow your speed according to the road conditions.
Additionally, ensure that your vehicle is mechanically sound and
properly insured. And of course, never drink and drive.
For over 25 years, we have been vigilant in representing the injured
and their families. Joyce A. Faraone has recovered hundreds of
thousands of dollars for car and truck accident deaths and injuries.

accidents each year, contact our office for a free consultation today.
