While most Motor Vehicle Accidents are referred to as either a car, motorcycle, or truck accident, there are actually five ways in which all Motor
Vehicle Accidents can be classified.
1. The number of cars involved.
2. The cause of the accident.
3. The parties involved.
4. The manner in which the accident occurred.
5. The type of injury sustained.
1. The number of cars involved.
Most of us envision two cars colliding when we think of a Motor Vehicle Accident. However, many car accidents occur without striking another vehicle and some occur as the result of more than two cars colliding. When determining the value of your case, the number of cars involved in the accident will be an important factor. The more cars involved in the accident, the more opportunities you will have to find someone to pay for your injuries.
2. The cause of the accident.
Motor Vehicle Accidents may result from defective vehicles or dangerous roadways; however, the most common cause of accidents is distracted driving.
Distracted driving includes
Texting while driving,
Drunk/High driving,
Speeding,
Tailgating, or
Driving while tired.
3. The parties involved.
A few of the most common parties involved in Motor Vehicle Accidents include
Truck Drivers,
Uber/Lyft Drivers,

The most common ways in which Motor Vehicle Accidents occur include
Head on Collisions,
Side Swipes,
Rear End Collisions,
Car or SUV Roll Overs, and
Side-impact or T-Bone Collisions.
5. The type of injury sustained.
Motor Vehicle Accident injuries range from minor soft tissue pain to permanent disfigurement and death. In general, the greater the injury the greater the case value will be.
Here is a short list of some of the most common types of injuries that occur from Motor Vehicle Accidents:
Death,
