Women Pinned Underneath a Car


 


Recently, in Washington, DC a women was struck by a motor vehicle while she was travelling on her scooter. The Vehicle came to a rest on top of the women. There is video of the accident and subsequent events. The average weight of an automobile is several thousand pounds. A motor vehicle can easily break bones, cause permanent injury, or death if it is on top of a person.

Fortunately, for the scooter rider, there was help nearby. Several close by military personnel assisted in getting the vehicle off the injured women. They used their resourcefulness and grabbed the cars jack to lift the vehicle off the injured women. When Emergency Services arrived they took the women to the hospital. Because of the quick action taken by the good Samaritans near the accident the time it to to get the women to the hospital was significantly reduced. This is highly important because the sooner a person gets to a medical facility after an accident usually the better.

Depending on how the accident happened, a person struck by a motor vehicle accident may be entitled to compensation for their injuries. I do an independent investigation whenever I sign up a new client for a car accident.  Quite often, when a person is struck by a car their injuries require hospitalization, which can mean a massive accumulation of medical bills. I have helped several clients struck by motor vehicles as a Car Accident Lawyer.

One of my clients was walking on a sidewalk when a car pulling out of a local grocery store parking lot struck my client. This caused significant injury and hospitalization. As a general matter, a person walking on a sidewalk struck by a car is rarely if ever the one found to be at-fault. This is because sidewalks are for pedestrians and vehicles crossing sidewalks are required to exercise care when driving over them. I routinely provide free consultations for person injured in Car Accidents and other Personal Injury Claims.

Even if you decide not to call me you should probably still get in contact with a lawyer. The Law Offices of Christopher G.

What is The Drivers Exchange of Information?

Image
 If you are ever in the unfortunate circumstances of needing a car accident lawyer, you will most likely have received a Drivers Exchange of Information. When a person gets into a car accident most of the time the local authorities will respond to the scene. They arrive at the scene assess the situation and issue a drivers exchange of information. Why The Drivers Exchange of Information is Important. When the local authorities arrive on the scene they usually speak to each driver, passengers and any witnesses. The officer will typically collect information about every one they talk to and what the officers findings were. The officer will then put this information in a police report. Generally, the police report is not available immediately and cannot be obtained for a few days or even weeks after the accident. This is precisely why the drivers exchange of information is important. Because the drivers exchange of information is usually distributed to each driver at the scene of the ...
