Serious Vehicle Accidents
Injuries from a violent crash can mean you can no longer earn a living, care for your children or even look after yourself. PJ Campanaro Attorney at Law is committed to helping you get back to financial stability after a serious accident.
A Determined Advocate After A Serious Collision
Getting fair compensation after a crash is rarely simple. You must meet strict deadlines and seek funds from an insurance company that is more interested in profits than in making you whole. Attorney Campanaro has represented thousands of accident victims. She handles every detail of your claim, from investigating the collision and examining evidence to filing paperwork and negotiating with the insurer.
Crashes Can Cause Devastating Injuries
A serious car, truck, motorcycle or bicycle crash can be fatal or lead to permanent disability. Common serious injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord and back injuries
- Crushed and amputated limbs, hands and feet
- Organ damage
- Fatal injuries
You could be entitled to significant compensation for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering and more.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders have little protection in a crash, so a motorcycle accident often leads to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries or death. Many of these crashes happen because a driver fails to notice or respect a rider on the road. Common causes include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Failure to yield
- Drunk driving
- Weather conditions and road hazards
Attorney Campanaro gathers witness statements, police reports, photos and, when needed, accident reconstruction to prove that the other driver's negligence caused the crash and your injuries.
Bicycle Accidents
Georgia sees hundreds of bicycle crashes every year, and when a car and a bicycle collide, the cyclist is almost always the one who gets hurt. Common causes include:
- Distracted drivers: Not looking for cyclists before turning or changing lanes.
- Dooring: A parked car's door opened into a cyclist's path.
- Blind spots: A driver drifting or merging into a cyclist riding beside them.
- Equipment failure: Brake, steering or chain problems on the bicycle.
Injuries range from road rash and facial trauma to fractures, concussions and spinal cord injuries. See a doctor even if you feel fine, and let attorney Campanaro document your injuries and pursue full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.
What Damages Can You Recover?
- Medical expenses: Ambulance rides, emergency care, hospital stays and ongoing treatment.
- Lost wages: Time away from work, from a few days to months.
- Long-term costs: Physical therapy, rehabilitation and reduced earning capacity.
- Noneconomic losses: Pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
What To Do After A Crash
- Check yourself and any passengers for injuries, and call 911 if anyone needs medical attention.
- If you can, move to a safe spot away from traffic.
- Exchange insurance and contact information with the other drivers, and get contact details from witnesses.
- Unless you need emergency care, wait at the scene for the police.
- Take photos of the scene, the damage and the other vehicles' license plates.
- See a doctor as soon as possible, even if you feel fine. Some injuries are not immediately apparent.
The Importance Of Evidence
Photos and video of the damage, witness statements, surveillance or traffic camera footage and the police report all strengthen your claim. The right evidence makes it much harder for an insurer to blame you or deny compensation.
