Bristol Car Accidents Lawyers

Car accidents lead to most deaths and catastrophic injuries in the US, with an average of six million accidents and three million fatalities each year. Driver negligence is often to blame for disrupting the lives of victims and, by consequence, making it impossible to earn income and support their families.

Legally, negligent drivers and their insurance companies are obligated to compensate innocent victims fairly for the harm they cause. Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford is a multi-practice injury and accident law firm whose attorneys have gained some of the greatest success in car accidents throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

For each client we represent, we use over 65 years of experience in complex car accident litigation to deliver the best possible results.

Seasoned Lawyers Dedicated to Maximizing Compensation for Car Accident Victims

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation reports that 127,127 car accidents were reported in Pennsylvania in 2015 alone, and that about 1,200 accident victims lost their lives. Although data actually shows that fewer people are dying in car accidents each year, car accidents are on the rise in Bristol and the surrounding areas, fueled by the need to commute to work and the availability of technology that can dangerously distract drivers.

At Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford, we understand the far-reaching consequences that injuries sustained in a car accident can generate. When you retain our team of car accident lawyers in Bristol, you can rest assured that we will put in the work necessary to fully evaluate and analyze your case to make sure you obtain the compensation that you deserve. We don’t back down from insurance companies who use scare tactics to convince you that their settlement offer is the only option. We will fight to prove your right to compensation.

Car Accident Injuries Range from Minor to Catastrophic

The results of a car accident can vary dramatically, but a car accident does not need to be serious in order to cause serious injuries. In many cases, a car accident can exacerbate a preexisting condition or cause an injury that may seem minor but, in reality, can cause long-term negative consequences. Some examples of common injuries in car accidents include:

• Whiplash: Whiplash is one of the most common injuries sustained by car accident victims. Although whiplash may resolve quickly in some cases, in others, it can cause pain and other symptoms that make it difficult for you to work and require rehabilitative care to fully recover.
• Concussion: A concussion happens when you suffer a sudden blow to the head, bruising the brain. A concussion is characterized as a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) in that it can lead to temporary cognitive effects and may or may not result in loss of consciousness. 
• Spinal cord injuries: Not every spinal cord injury results in paralysis. In fact, many spinal cord injuries are actually injuries to the discs and areas around the spine rather than to the vertebrae themselves. These injuries can cause chronic pain and other symptoms.
• Head injuries: Many car accident victims complain of headaches after a car accident, and a headache that lasts for an extended period of time can be a sign that the crash caused a more serious brain injury, such as a TBI. 

Burns, lacerations, and broken bones are also common after a Bristol car accident and can be serious in some cases. Regardless of the type of injury from which you are suffering, it is important to seek out medical care so that you can obtain a proper diagnosis to aid in your recovery. A physician’s report and recommendations can also be an important tool in estimating the total future cost of your recovery. An experienced car accident lawyer in Bristol, PA can help you evaluate this information and develop a plan to negotiate a successful compensation package.
