Motor Vehicle Accidents
The St. Louis motor vehicle accident lawyers at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. understand the ins and outs of motor vehicle accidents and can assist you in the aftermath of an accident. Accidents are often preventable but still represent the leading cause of death for Americans younger than 35 years old. The primary cause of crashes is negligence, defined as failing to exercise care to avoid harming another person. Distracted driving is a prime example of negligence. Product liability can also be a factor in car accidents, but is less prevalent than negligence. When you're involved in an motor vehicle accident, it is important to cooperate with the police and your insurance company. Beyond that, you should avoid talking about the accident or admitting fault to anyone. Any statements you make regarding your contribution to the accident could be used against you during the course of litigation.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else's fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you.
