The Law Offices of David W. Holub, P.C. , which concentrates in personal injury and wrongful death litigation, focuses a large part of the firm's practice in the area of car, truck (semi-tractor trailer), motorcycle and bicycle accidents. The area of our practice which includes all claims for injuries connected with automobile collisions, car-truck crashes, semi-truck to semi-truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, and bicycle accidents is described below.
The Car Crash
An auto accident can change the course of a person’s life in a split second. An injury can have far reaching impact on an entire family if a family member is unable to work, if hospital or home nursing care is required, or if the injured person's ability to contribute to the operation of the household is altered. We have over twenty five years of service to people who are dealing with the consequences of brain injuries, head trauma, back pain and back injuries, internal organ injuries, neck injuries (sometimes called whiplash injuries), broken bones, paralysis, fractures, tears, numbness, nerve pain, concussions, burns, disfigurement and scarring, and permanent disability and impaired ability to work,
We are committed to providing high quality legal service which includes an uncompromising pursuit of our client’s legal interests, while being accessible and attentive to our clients during times of personal challenge. We understand that auto accidents also bring emotional stress over how to pay medical bills and replace damaged property. We are devoted to serving our clients by assisting them in dealing with their auto insurance company, their health insurance carrier, and the other driver's insurance company. If a prompt settlement cannot be negotiated we promptly file suit to recover compensation for not only physical and emotional injuries, but medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
As soon as we are retained, our legal team begins working to establish liability on the part of the driver responsible for the crash. This includes interviewing witnesses, analyzing the crash scene, and on occasion hiring experts to prove the accident was caused by the negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of the other driver. Acts of negligence that typically lead to a crash include:
If you were injured or involved in an accident, it is critical that you consult with an attorney who has extensive trial litigation experience. If your case cannot be settled, it is crucial that your attorney understand how to prepare your case for trial and how to win your case. Mr. Holub has successfully litigated thousands of auto accident cases and knows how to effectively negotiate prompt and fair settlements.
The Truck Crash
A large number of our client cases involve a collision involving a semi-truck or what some people call a tractor trailer and still others describe as 18 wheelers. Car truck collisions (and semi-truck to semi-truck collisions as well) more often than not lead to permanent injury, catastrophic injury or death. Large trucks frequently weigh sixty thousand pounds or more. Many trucks carry hazardous materials. If you or someone you care about has been injured in an accident while driving a semi, or as a result of colliding with a semi, tractor trailer, or 18 wheel truck, it is essential to consult legal counsel with experience in dealing with the myriad of issues and complexities posed by collisions involving trucks. These type cases almost always require an attorney who has a team with experience in accident reconstruction, but also experience in analyzing the logs of the truck driver involved in the crash, the drivers DOT qualification file, and in obtaining data from the on board event record (black box) available on most modern tractors. We have such a team and stand ready to serve should you or your family need our assistance.
The Motorcycle Crash and Bicycle Crash
We also serve a number of clients who have been injured while operating a motorcycle or a bicycle. Motorcycle accident victims and bicycle accident victims will frequently encounter painful physical and emotional injuries just as may be encountered by persons involved in auto and truck crashes. However, the victim of a motorcycle accident is statistically more likely to suffer injuries that are serious and debilitating because motorcycles lack protective cages and seatbelts or airbags, and because motorcycles operate at highway speeds. Moreover, motorcyclists are frequently ejected from the vehicle during the crash and can suffer road burns and serious head injuries. Bicyclists can suffer similar injuries because of open exposure to high speed vehicles and often such injuries can be just as serious. Moreover, though motorcyclists and bicyclists have the same legal protections on the road as cars and trucks, it is helpful to have an attorney with experience to make clear to jurors that drivers who are careless around motorcycles and bicycles should be held to account for their wrongful conduct. Like other accident victims, motorcyclists and bicyclists who are injured in a crash will benefit from the representation of an attorney who will vigorously advocate for their legal rights. Our firm is experienced in this area of the law and stands read to serve the injured cyclist.
