Welcome to Smith & Smith, Auto Accident Attorneys
An auto accident is an unexpected, frightening, and often life-changing event. Injuries sustained in an accident can be serious or fatal, and in many cases multiple family members are hurt in one accident. While you are trying to recover from your injuries, you will be forced to deal with insurance companies and you may even be facing criminal charges. At the very least, you may be facing expensive repairs or the complete loss of your vehicle. If you have been involved in an auto accident, you need the help of an experienced auto accident attorney to get the compensation that you need and deserve.

Auto accidents happen quickly and you may not have seen it coming or have any idea what may have caused it. If you were knocked unconscious or sustained a brain injury, you may have no memory of the events that led up to your accident. An experienced auto accident attorney knows how to thoroughly investigate your accident to determine what caused the accident and who is responsible for your injuries. Common causes of auto accidents include:
- Driver negligence
- Excessive speed
- Intoxication
- Distracted drivers
- Hazardous weather conditions
- Defective vehicle
- Defective roadways
