Car accident lawyers — call 24/7
Hurt in a car accident? Talk to an experienced personal injury attorney now. No charge to call.
Car accidents are the most common cause of serious injury claims — and insurance companies are ready for them. Adjusters call within hours of a crash. They take recorded statements. They offer quick settlements, often before the full extent of injuries is known.
An experienced personal injury attorney can level the playing field. Call Personal Injury Legal Centers 24/7 and we will connect you with an attorney in your area who handles car accident cases.
What we handle
Types of car accident cases we handle
Head-on collisions
Among the most serious crash types. Often involve severe injuries and wrongful death claims.
T-bone / side-impact
Intersection crashes where one vehicle strikes the side of another. Common at red lights and stop signs.
Hit-and-run
The at-fault driver fled the scene. Uninsured motorist coverage may apply — an attorney can help you recover.
Uninsured / underinsured
The at-fault driver has no coverage or not enough. Your own policy may still cover your injuries.
Drunk driving crashes
Hit by an impaired driver. These cases often involve punitive damages in addition to compensation for injuries.
Distracted driving
Texting, phone use, or other distraction caused the crash.
Multi-vehicle pileups
Chain-reaction crashes with multiple vehicles. Fault can be shared — an attorney can sort out liability.
Single-vehicle passenger injury
You were a passenger in a crash caused by the driver of your own vehicle. Passengers often have claims.
Injuries
Common injuries from car accidents
Whiplash
Neck and upper back soft-tissue injury.
Traumatic brain injury
Concussion, contusion, or more serious TBI.
Back and spinal injury
Herniated discs, compression fractures, spinal cord injury.
Broken bones
Arms, legs, ribs, pelvis — common in higher-impact crashes.
Internal injuries
Bleeding or organ damage, often not visible at first.
Lacerations and burns
From broken glass, airbags, or post-crash fire.
Joint injuries
Knees, shoulders, wrists damaged by seat belt or steering wheel.
Emotional trauma
Anxiety, PTSD, and sleep disturbance after a serious crash.

Questions
Car accident questions
A few things to know before you call.
I was in a car accident but my injuries seem minor. Should I still call?
Yes. Many car accident injuries — whiplash, soft-tissue injury, concussion — do not show their full effect for days. Call now, while the details are fresh, and an attorney can tell you whether to pursue a claim.
The other driver’s insurance company already called me. What should I do?
Do not give a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney. Adjusters are trained to use your words against your claim. Call Personal Injury Legal Centers first — it costs nothing.
The crash was partly my fault. Can I still recover?
Often, yes. Many states allow injured people to recover even when they share some of the fault. The exact rules vary by state. Call and an attorney can walk through how the rules in your state apply to your situation.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim?
The deadline — statute of limitations — varies by state. It can be as short as one year. Do not wait. See our state-by-state statute of limitations page, or call now.
What if the at-fault driver had no insurance?
You may still have options. Your own auto policy’s uninsured motorist coverage often covers injuries from an uninsured at-fault driver. An attorney can tell you what is available.
