Automobile injuries

The growing population in Wilmington and its surrounding areas brings more cars and drivers on our roads. As a natural consequence, the number of traffic accidents continues to be on the rise. Cell phones and other new technology also play a large role in the increased amount of crashes. It is very important to consult a car accident attorney if you are involved in an automobile accident and are injured as a result. Contrary to their commercials, the insurance companies do not have your best interest at heart. You need an injury law firm looking out for you.

Some important tips if you’ve been involved in an automobile accident:

• Call 911 – It is very important to get law enforcement involved so that a crash report is generated.
• Identify all witnesses – It is very common for the other driver in an accident to have a different story than yours. Cases are often made by other disinterested witnesses that saw the crash. Witnesses often leave before the police arrive so try to get names and telephone numbers if you are able.
• Take pictures – Pictures speak 1000 words and can help your case greatly. Take pictures of your car, the other parties car, the accident scene and any visible injuries to your person.

Dog bite cases

Another common type of personal injury that we see are dog bites. There are 4.5 million people bitten by dogs every year, and many of these people are seriously injured and entitled to a settlement. A dog attack can not only cause physical injuries like wounds, infections, and disfigurement, but the emotional trauma from an attack is often lasting. Attacks on children generally cause even more physical and psychological damage. Working with an injury settlement lawyer at Girdwood & Williams can help you recover what you’re owed and move past a dog attack.
