Car Accident Cases In Giles County

Combine this with drivers who fail to obey the speed limit or who are driving while intoxicated and serious accidents can occur.

We Can Help You and Your Family

If you have been injured in any kind of accident due to someone's carelessness, you need the experienced team at The Law Offices of John Day, P.C. Our award-winning attorneys can help you recover money for your losses which may include pain and suffering, medical bills, property damage, lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of earning capacity, permanent impairments, scarring, etc.

In many accidents, there can be more than one at-fault party. For instance, in a car wreck, the following claims might be possible:

• A claim against the other driver and/or his insurance company.
• A claim against your own insurance company for uninsured or underinsured benefits (depending upon the language of your insurance policy).
• A claim against the other driver's employer, if the other driver was on the job at the time of the wreck.
• A product liablity claim against the manufacturer of your vehicle if the vehicle did not perform as designed during the accident -- for example, the seat back broke or the airbags did not deploy and these failures caused or exacerbated your injuries.
• A claim against the owner of the other vehicle (if different from the driver) for possible negligent entrustment of the vehicle to an unfit driver.
• A liquor liability claim against the restaurant or bar, if the other driver was served too much alcohol before the accident.
• A claim against the State or contractor for road conditions or construction area conditions.

Depending upon the facts of your case, additional claims may be possible. But, rest assured, our office will investigate all potential parties so that you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Will I Have To Go To Court?

We make every effort to settle your case.  However, there are times when the at-fault party or the insurance company does not want to be reasonable and fair.  When that happens, we will not hesitate to take them to court to protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.  For more information on the litigation process and what to expect, click here.
