Car accident claims are one of the most common types of civil tort cases filed by attorneys. In the majority of states, cases are tried under general negligence theories, in which the attorney for the plaintiff files a suit, and then must prove that the injuries of the plaintiff were sustained at the hands of the negligent defendant. If you have been involved in an auto accident, and require representation as either a plaintiff, or a defendant, please contact an attorney in your area for proper legal counsel.
