Single-car accidents can and do happen—more often than you might think. However, you might not be so sure that the crash was your fault. So, what can you do about it?
If you were injured in an accident and you think someone else is responsible, a car accident lawyer in Boise may be able to help you get compensation for your injuries and expenses. Reach out if you think someone else might be responsible for your crash but aren’t sure where to start.
In some cases, our cars simply aren’t reliable when they’re supposed to be. However, you might have had no reason to think something was wrong with your car. It may have even been a new car, so there was no reason for any parts to be worn out or faulty.
Unfortunately, that didn’t stop your car accident from happening.
You might have been injured because a part failed. The steering locked up, the brakes failed, or a tire blew out. Some mechanical failures are issues with the production of the item, not in environmental factors. If a part failed, you may have grounds to sue if a recall wasn’t issued.
When a product is unreasonably dangerous because of defects in its manufacturing, they can cause serious problems and dangerous car crashes. If this happened to you, the negligent manufacturer could be responsible for the ensuing damages.
In some cases, it may not have been a problem with the vehicle, but with the road itself.
For example, you might have hit a pothole that was wide and deep enough to damage your car, which caused you to lose control of your car and crash. In other cases, you might have hit a patch of standing water that should have drained, and hydroplaned, losing control of your car.
In these cases, you may have a claim against the department of transportation. They’re responsible for maintaining these roads. If they don’t maintain them and you’re injured, your lawyer may be able to build a claim for your recovery.
If you’re struggling after a car accident, you might be concerned that, because you were the only driver involved, you might not have a chance to recover compensation for your injuries. Fortunately, that’s far from the truth.
If you’re hurt, reach out to your lawyer about who might be responsible for your claim. Your attorney at Craig Swapp & Associates can review the details of the car crash, so they can help you find what caused your accident. After that, they can help you file a claim and seek compensation from the responsible parties.
