Highway collisions are among the leading causes of death and permanent injury in the United States. If you or a loved one has suffered injury or death as a result of an accident involving an automobile, motorcycle or pedestrian fatality or injury, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your losses and suffering. The experienced personal injury attorneys at Anzellotti Sperling Pazol & Small can help you understand your rights and plan a course of action.

Every year tens of thousands of people die in automobile crashes — according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, someone in the United States is involved in a collision every 10 seconds. One-third of all car incidents result in injury, and nearly one percent result in death.

Another 3,000 people die each year in motorcycle collisions. Motorcycles are more vulnerable to injury-causing incidents because they are smaller and less protected than automobiles. Because of the increased susceptibility of motorcycles and the negligence of drivers on the road, motorcycle incidents often result in devastating events.

Every year approximately 5,000 pedestrians are killed in motor vehicle collisions in the United States. Pedestrians account for two percent of those injured or killed in traffic incidents.

Determining negligence in the case of an injury- or death-resulting highway incident, while not always clear-cut, is usually legally necessary. This is especially true if a police report is filed or legal claim pursued. Under the law, drivers are required to exercise “reasonable care” in the operation of a motor vehicle. A driver who fails to exercise “reasonable care” is considered negligent and can be held responsible for damages.

It is important to bear in mind that all personal injury claims are subject to statute of limitations law, which limits the time a victim of any injury-causing incident has to file a suit. Trust the lawyers at Anzellotti Sperling Pazol & Small to know the applicable laws and limitations that relate to your case.

A wrongful death is a devastating event. Families of the wrongful death victim often feel pursing legal action will only increase their feelings of distress. Some families do not immediately realize the impact a wrongful death can have on their lives, so contacting a wrongful death attorney is always a good idea.

The experienced attorneys of Anzellotti, Sperling, Pazol & Small understand the delicacy of wrongful death suits and will try to resolve the wrongful death lawsuit as quickly as possible in a sensitive, tactful manner.

Wrongful death suits can recover expenses associated with the death itself, in addition to any loss of salary, benefits, pain and suffering, companionship, and other factors that increase the burden on the family already suffering a grave loss. Wrongful death suits differ, and our attorneys will properly determine what compensation each family member can seek based on the relationship between the wrongful death victim and the individual survivor.

A wrongful death suit can be a time-consuming process. However, by retaining an experienced attorney the victim’s survivors will be in good hands. The lawyers at Anzellotti Sperling Pazol & Small have the resources and knowledge necessary to expedite every wrongful death suit to an ultimate satisfactory conclusion.

While no amount of money can replace a wrongful death victim, financial losses incurred because of someone else's negligence should not be permitted to add to the survivors’ suffering.
