Trucking Accident Attorney in Carmel, Indiana

With more than 6 million collisions occurring every year, motor vehicle accidents continue to be one of the leading causes of accidental injury in the United States, despite the legislation of important safety considerations, such as seat belts and air bags. In fact, one death occurs every 13 minutes. Semi- or 18-wheel trucks, fully loaded, may weigh up to 40 tons -- and fatality rates in truck accidents are as high as 94 percent.

For motorcyclists, the statistics are even scarier. With no vehicle structure to protect the cyclist, injuries occur in 98 percent of motorcycle accidents, which are often caused by other drivers who didn't see the motorcycle.

Insurance companies have a tendency to treat injured motorists as nothing more than statistics, expecting the same level of recovery in a six-week period. This is clearly unrealistic, yet the insurance companies will hire experts to evaluate injured people in the insurance company's favor. People with pre-existing conditions are prone to injury in impacts at lower speeds, and the driver who caused the accident should be held accountable.

You deserve to have an attorney who treats you as more than an injury statistic. Injured motorists in Carmel, Indiana, can trust Yosha Cook Shartzer & Tisch to look beyond the numbers and get them the help they need.
