Car Accident Attorneys
The aftermath of a car accident can be filled with confusion and anxiety. It is likely you are shaken up emotionally from the accident and may have serious injuries to deal with as well. When a car accident is the result of another person’s negligence, it can be particularly difficult to deal with. One minute you are on your way home from work, and the next, you are forced to deal with insurance companies and medical professionals while attempting to maintain your normal day-to-day activities. It can all seem like an overwhelming task; you may be watching your medical bills mount alarmingly, and if you are unable to work due to your injuries, you may be unable to pay your normal monthly expenses.
According to a WebMD article, a 2001 British research study found that a full one-third of all those involved in a non-fatal auto accident suffered from depression, persistent anxiety, phobias, or PTSD for as long as a year after the accident. Some of the symptoms associated with these issues include an inability to relax, insomnia, low energy, fatigue, confusion, feeling angry, upset, out of control, or feeling helpless. A car accident attorney from Palace Law can take a considerable amount of the stress and anxiety from you by dealing with the insurance company, helping you receive a fair settlement, helping you find appropriate medical care, and giving you the time to heal from your injuries without worrying about your financial future.

I had an outstanding experience working with Ciana on a personal injury matter. Without her expertise, I would have never realized that I even had a case. Ciana’s attention to detail and deep understanding of personal injury law were invaluable. She guided me through every step with professionalism and care, ensuring I understood the process and felt supported. Thanks to her diligence and expertise, what could have been overlooked became a well-handled case. I highly recommend Ciana to anyone needing a knowledgeable and dedicated legal professional.

Aria has been working with me and she is very thorough. I don’t get good sleep at night because of my injury but knowing that Palace Law is on the job gives me peace of mind specially, when they have employees like Aria thanks for letting me give my feedback and putting me in a position to give feedback.

They have been entirely helpful since they accepted my case. Thorough and informative every step of the way. When I had an IME and no gas in my car they arranged for a ride to and from. After fighting tooth and nail myself with little to no results Palace Law stepped in and immediately Sedgwick stopped dragging me through the mud.
Compensation You May Be Entitled to Following Your Car Accident
The circumstances surrounding your car accident and the extent of your injuries will determine the level of compensation you might expect. Medical expenses related to the accident will be covered, as well as lost wages and future wages if you cannot return to work for a significant length of time. Compensation for pain and suffering can also be a part of a settlement, and, in some circumstances, mental anguish, loss of consortium, and even punitive damages could be claimed.
What Are the Common Causes of Car Accidents?
While every car accident is unique, and the facts and circumstances of each car accident determine how those involved will proceed, the two most common factors associated with car accidents are:
- Distracted driving: We are a nation of multitaskers, and regardless of the dangers involved in doing anything else while driving, we eat entire meals, check or set the GPS device, talk to our passengers, fiddle with the car controls, listen to music, turn around to see what the children are doing, watch what’s happening on the side of the road, and daydream while behind the wheel.
- Fatigued Driving: The NHTSA believes that at least 795 auto accident fatalities in 2017 were related to fatigued or drowsy driving. According to the National Sleep Foundation:
- Those who get 6-7 hours of sleep per night are twice as likely to be involved in a car accident than those who routinely sleep 8 hours a night
- Thirty-seven percent of drivers admitted to falling asleep at the wheel, with 13 percent saying they did so regularly—at least once a month
- Younger drivers (between the ages of 18 and 29) are more likely to admit driving while drowsy than older adults
- Men are more likely to drive while drowsy or fatigued than women and about twice as likely to fall asleep while driving
