Every year, thousands of legal cases are filed in trial courts across the United States for various reasons. In 2005 alone, it is estimated there were 26,950 tort trials, which include personal injury, contract, and real property trials in state courts nationwide. This averages to about 539 trials per state. While most cases are settled outside of court, the ones that do go to trial underscore the importance of having an experienced motor vehicle accident lawyer.

In 2005, of the nearly 27,000 trials, 68% (18,404) were decided by juries, and 54% of those jury trials ended in favor of the plaintiff. Notably, 6.3% (1,159) of these trials resulted in an award to the plaintiff of one million dollars or more in damages. Such outcomes highlight the necessity of aggressive legal representation.

Common Injuries in Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents often result in a variety of injuries, some of which are more common than others. Here are a few frequently sustained injuries:

• Bulging or Herniated Discs in the Spine: Often caused by trauma from car, bus, or truck accidents, these injuries result in spinal discs becoming irritated, inflamed, or ruptured.
• Concussions: Also known as mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI), concussions result from a bump or blow to the skull, interrupting normal brain functioning. Motor vehicle accidents are a common cause.
• Torn Muscles: Whiplash, a type of torn muscle injury, is common in car accidents, caused by a sudden jolt to the neck that tears muscle fibers. Torn muscles can occur in various body parts due to unnatural movements from impacts.

The Importance of a Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer

Many people are unaware of the extensive services a motor vehicle accident lawyer provides. Lawyers are subject matter experts who perform several critical tasks, including:

• Gathering and Admissibility of Evidence: Ensuring that evidence collected is admissible in court according to legal statutes and precedents.
• Interpreting and Applying the Law: Lawyers must interpret statutes and binding legal precedents, which influence how laws are applied in specific cases.
• Cross-Examining Witnesses: To prove necessary elements in court, lawyers gather evidence through sworn testimony, either at trial or via depositions, strategically questioning witnesses to support their client’s case.

These tasks require years of education, practice, and experience. Most people recognize the need for expert legal handling of their cases, leading them to seek experienced lawyers.
