What Types of Car Accident Cases Does Ashcraft & Gerel Handle?

Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents happen under a wide range of circumstances and can cause catastrophic injuries. Rollovers may occur due to car design, dangerous roadways, or defective tires. For example, SUVs and minivans have a higher center of gravity than ordinary passenger cars and are therefore more likely to roll, particularly if the car has a defective design. Additionally, other drivers’ negligence or weather conditions can increase the risk of a rollover.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents regularly occur when drivers are not looking out for walkers and runners, and unfortunately, these types of collisions are all too common on our roads and interstates today. Pedestrians typically suffer the worst injuries in a collision with a vehicle. If you were injured in a pedestrian accident, our attorneys have the experience to fight for you.

Passenger Injury Accidents

If you were injured as a passenger in a car accident, you may be entitled to seek compensation. Different individuals may be at fault for your injuries, including the driver of the car that you were a passenger in and the driver of the other vehicle. Getting fairly compensated for a car accident injury as a passenger can be complicated. Protect your legal rights by hiring an experienced attorney to represent you.

High-Speed Crash Accidents

Speeding causes accidents because speeding drivers often don’t have enough time to stop or avoid a collision. Speed limits are in place to keep drivers safe and reduce the likelihood of accidents. Drivers who speed are driving recklessly, and those who cause accidents while speeding can be held legally responsible for any damages.

Wrong-Way Driver Accidents

When a motorist drives the wrong way on the road, it can easily lead to head-on collisions, resulting in catastrophic accidents, severe injuries, and fatalities. As expected, wrong-way collisions are some of the most serious types of car accidents as both vehicles travel at high rates of speed and impact each other directly.

Unsafe Lane Change Accidents

Unsafe lane changes can cause accidents in many ways. Other drivers may be unprepared for motorists to perform a lane change, or the person executing the lane change may slam into another vehicle. Sometimes a quick lane change is necessary, as when avoiding debris in the road for example, but such maneuvers can cause serious accidents.

Rental Car Accidents

Any car accident is stressful, but when the car you’re driving is a rental, the situation becomes more complicated. There could be multiple insurance companies involved, including your own, that of the rental car company, and perhaps even your credit card company. Additionally, you could be dealing with serious injuries from the crash, as well as medical bills and missed time from work. We can help you navigate even the most difficult rental car accident case.

Road Rage Accidents

When drivers take their frustration and anger out on others, the consequence can be deadly. Far too often, a simple traffic irritation can trigger a road rage accident, resulting in personal injury or even death. If someone has been involved in an accident where the other party was displaying signs of road rage, they should speak with an experienced car accident attorney as soon as possible.

Teen Driver Accidents

Even the best teen drivers lack driving experience, and even if they’re being careful, it’s easy for a teen driver to misjudge the speed of an oncoming car, poorly execute a turn, or make other mistakes that result in an accident. If you have been in an accident involving a teen driver, or have a teen driver who has been in an accident, we are here to help.
