Press Release Summary: Accidents are on the rise in America and injuries from
accidents are not showing any significant signs of decline. Americans often do not
fully know their options and their rights when it comes to personal injuries from
automobile accidents.

Press Release Body: Did you know that every 13 minutes, there is a death caused by a
motor vehicle accident. Americans from the ages of 1-33 are more likely to die from
a car accident than from anything else. Motorcycle accidents have been steadily
increasing. The number of car crashes went up from 4.5 million in 2004 to over 6
million in 2005, more than a 30% increase. Over 1.5 million people injured in car
accidents alone, a number that has remains steady despite lawmakers issuing stricter
traffic laws and billions of dollars spent in technological advances in traffic
safety. Attorney Robert Younce, from leading North Carolina Personal Injury Law Firm
www.AttorneysNC.com, says “Americans deserve to know [these facts] and ensure that
they are aware of their rights and their options when involved in a personal injury
case. Many of our clients tell us that they would’ve made the wrong choices and as a
result, undergone stress and lost money [had they not been provided the right
advice].”

In recent years, hard-selling ads by Law Firms on TV and stories about unfair
lawsuits have perhaps clouded the common man’s understanding about accidents and
personal injury law. First of all, when injured in an accident, one of the most
common mistakes is to accept a settlement too soon. Often, the injured run into
large bills a few weeks or months later that they never get compensated for. The law
provides protection for the injured by means of hundreds of rules that can get
complicated. Every accident is unique in it’s own way and good attorneys understand
that. Attorney David Vtipil of www.AttorneysNC.com, comments - “The general opinion
is that Attorneys are too expensive, I am much better off dealing with the insurance
company myself. However, little do they know that good personal Injury attorneys
actually charge a percentage of the settlement only, so there are no costs until the
settlement is made”. A study from the Insurance Research Counsel 2004 found that
settlements for injured victims who are represented by personal injury attorneys are
three and a half times higher than those who represent themselves. That more than
compensates for the attorney fees.

Next time you or a loved one is injured in an accident, just know that the law is on
your side and a free consultation is only a few clicks or a phone call away.
