AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

Automobile accidents can happen anywhere and may result in physical injuries as well as property damages. Some of the most common types of auto accidents, include:

• Side-impact collisions. Also known as being broadsided or t-boned, side-impact collisions happen when the side of one vehicle is hit by the rear or front of another vehicle.
• Rear-end collisions. This type of automobile accident occurs when one car hits the vehicle in front of it. The most common type of injury associated with rear-end collisions is whiplash.
• Vehicle rollovers. When vehicles make sharp turns at high speeds they can often flip and roll. While all automobiles are subject to rollover accidents, SUVS are most susceptible.
• Sideswipe collisions. These types of accidents happen when two vehicles are parallel and swipe each other.
• Multi-vehicle collisions. Accidents that involve more than two vehicles often occur on bus highways or freeways. These accidents are also known as multi-vehicle pile-ups and involve several vehicles.
• Head-on collisions. Often resulting in traumatic injury or fatality, head-on collisions occur when the front ends of two vehicles collide.
• Single-vehicle accidents. When only one vehicle is involved in an accident, it is usually caused by the driver hitting another object. Single-car accidents will typically result in personal injury and property damage.

At Powell & Associates, we have a proven record of helping victims involved in automobile accidents recover their losses.

TRUCKING ACCIDENTS

• Lack of driver experience and training
• Defective equipment and poorly maintained trucks
• Driver fatigue

• Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks
• Driver intoxication
• Dangerous weather conditions
• Excessive speeding
