Accidents & Crashes

Our team of lawyers permit us to offer a full-range of legal services to those who have been involved in vehicular accidents.

If you have been hurt due to an injury or someone else's carelessness, good legal representation is often necessary to recover for your expenses and damages. A good injury lawyer will know how to maximize your recovery with your own insurance company as well as from the insurance company of the person who injured you. 

The experienced trial lawyers of the Ziff Law Firm believe that you deserve the best representation available in your lawsuit or settlement negotiations.  Feel free to call us at 1-800-ZIFFLAW or E-mail us to see if we can help you.

Our firm has represented thousands of people who have suffered physical or emotional harm because of someone else's negligent or reckless actions. Our clients have been awarded monetary damages for medical costs, lost income (past and future), expenses, and pain and suffering due to accidents. Examples include rear-end crashes, drunk driver accidents, intersection collisions, chain-reaction car accidents, airplane crashes, truck crashes, train accidents, and bus wrecks.

Have you suffered a serious personal injury? Serious injuries include: broken bones/ fractures, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, significant burn injuries, herniated disks and major psychological injuries like anxiety and depression. We understand that soft tissue injuries like rotator cuff tears, strained or sprained ligaments in the neck or back, whiplash, etc. can cause permanently disabling injuries.

Because there are strict time deadlines (called "Statute of Limitations") that apply to personal injury cases, victims have a limited timeframe in which to file their cases. It is important that you contact an attorney if you believe you have a claim so that you protect your right to file suit.

No one is ever truly prepared for a major auto or truck accident, which often cause personal injuries and life-long disabilities. Broken bones, pain, and other critical wounds can lead to huge hospital bills. A lengthy absence from work, made necessary by your pain and suffering, can lead to lost wages or loss of employment. Insurance companies are quick to take advantage of people who are injured in a car wreck or other major accident; they only want to save themselves money. If another person’s negligence has caused you to be injured in a car or truck accident, you are entitled to compensation for your hospital bills, other medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other losses. A qualified civil plaintiff’s attorney can help you decide whether or not to file a lawsuit.

If there is a fatality that occurs because of the negligence or misdeeds of another person, the legal definition for that is wrongful death. The lawyers of the Ziff Law Firm know that wrongful death cases are governed by special rules and procedures that vary from the general rules of civil litigation. Wrongful death claims hold an individual (defendant) accountable for causing injury to another person (plaintiff). The primary goal of a personal injury tort is to provide relief (damages) to the plaintiff and to deter the defendant from inflicting further harm to others. Because it is impossible to grant damages to a deceased victim, wrongful death laws are designed to compensate the deceased’s survivors.
