Car Accidents
Every year, there are millions of car accidents in the United States, with many of them resulting in injury or death. If you have been injured in a car accident, through no fault of your own, then you may be entitled to compensation. A car accident can result in tens of thousands of dollars in unanticipated costs, including medical bills, lost wages and property damage. Those costs do not include the physical, mental and emotional toll of a serious accident.
While a variety of factors can contribute to a car accident, negligence or irresponsible behavior is often to blame. If you have been injured due to the actions or inaction of another, then it is important to seek legal counsel from Flint Cooper’s experienced car accident attorneys for the best chance at obtaining the compensation you deserve.

Common Car Accident Causes
When a driver’s actions are negligent or intentionally reckless, they are putting themselves and all other drivers around them at risk. Not only is this against the law, but it also increases the likelihood of being involved in a car accident. Some common causes include:
- Speeding
- Texting while driving
- Driving under the influence
- Driving while tired
- Failing to obey traffic signals
- Failing to signal before changing lanes
- Expressing road rage
- Failing to yield
- Driving recklessly
- Weaving in and out of lanes
- Failing to maintain the vehicle
If a victim can prove that another driver’s actions or inaction caused an accident, the victim may be entitled to compensation for their damages. The experienced car accident attorneys at Flint Cooper will review the circumstances of a car accident and work to locate evidence that shows the opposing party’s liability.
Proving a Car Accident Case
A car accident claim is a type of personal injury lawsuit. Generally, someone injured in an automotive accident must prove liability to recover compensation in a personal injury claim. Proving another party’s negligence in a car accident requires demonstrating the following elements:
Duty — The other driver owes all others on the road a duty to operate their vehicle in a reasonably prudent manner and to follow the law.
Breach of duty — They breached their duty by failing to operate the vehicle in a reasonably safe manner or by breaking the law.
Causation — The breach caused the accident, which resulted in injuries.
Damages — The victim suffered damages or injuries due to the accident.
Car accident victims rarely know how to prove the legal standard of liability in court. The experienced car accident attorneys at Flint Cooper guide clients through the legal process. Our experienced attorneys will craft a strategy to demonstrate the responsible party’s liability.
Flint Cooper’s car accident lawyers also handle insurance company negotiations. However, when insurance companies refuse to give victims an acceptable offer, Flint Cooper’s lawyers do not hesitate to take the case to trial.
