Motor Vehicle Accidents
Auto accidents are not “simple.” Each one is different and there is no set damage calculation. In many instances you need medical treatment, you can’t work, your car needs to be fixed, and you need a rental car. You need help fast. You need an experienced auto accident lawyer.
The last thing you need is the insurance company runaround. Rick Woods is experienced in this area of law and knows the rules for pursuing these complex cases. When you’ve been injured in an auto accident, don’t go it alone. If you or a loved one was the victim of a serious auto accident, Rick wants to provide you with the legal help you need.
Your Rights
The law requires the person or company responsible to pay for your auto accident repairs and injuries. Many victims of motorcycle and auto accidents in Arkansas try to handle their own personal injury cases. They hope the insurance companies involved will settle as promptly and fairly as advertised. Unfortunately, not all insurance companies respond in that manner and you need an auto accident lawyer on your side.
Insurance companies’ obligations are to their stockholders and policyholders, not to people injured in an auto accident. Insurance companies have enormous advantages: vast wealth, armies of sharp, experienced adjusters and lawyers, and dozens of legal reasons to reduce or deny compensation. Insurance companies have argued for tort reform to reduce costs, but have failed to pass on any benefit by way of reduced premiums. With Rick Woods, an experienced auto accident lawyer, his obligations are to you. Allow him to turn the tables on the insurance company and help you with your claim. If you don’t call, he can’t help.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you’re involved in a motorcycle accident, many complications can arise afterward. Insurance companies stop at nothing to ensure that their liabilities are reduced. You’ll likely face an uphill struggle when trying to get the compensation you deserve. That’s why you need an experienced lawyer at your side. With more than 24 years of experience, Rick Woods offers compassionate and aggressive legal counsel and will go to bat for you.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 2,500 motorcyclists in the US die every year from injuries sustained in accidents. Almost ten times as many are hurt in non-fatal accidents. When it comes to multi-vehicle accidents, almost two-thirds of motorcycle accidents are caused by other drivers violating the right of way of the motorcyclist.
Motorcycle accident injuries are usually more serious than other vehicle crashes, and they can result in severe physical injury or even catastrophic brain damage. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident and you’re left with serious, possibly life-threatening injuries or mounting medical bills, you need an experienced lawyer to help you get the compensation that is due to you.
