Video On Car Wreck Cases - Negotiate It On Your Own?

When Alabama consumers are involved in car wrecks, one question that comes to mind is "Should I handle my case on my own or should I consult with a lawyer?" While there is no one right answer, but considering any good personal injury lawyer in Alabama will meet with you for a free consultation, you should at least talk to a lawyer. Now, whether to hire a lawyer has to be decided on a case by case basis.

Gerry Oginski has an excellent video regarding this question in New York car wreck cases. It is helpful for Alabama auto accident victims also and we recommend you take a look at it below.

If you would like to meet with us for a free consultation to understand your rights and options, feel free to call us at 205-879-2447.

We have admired the work of Gerry Oginski for some time and we wanted to hilight his recent video about the dangers of accepting a quick settlement offer from the other driver's car insurance company.

More Information on Hyundai

On our Alabama Consumer Law Blog, we recently posted about the requirement by Hyundai to submit any claims to arbitration. While you ponder that from a consumer standpoint on being able to properly enforce your lemon law rights, consider this interesting video of a Hyundai van. We don't know the details but it does cause you to raise an eyebrow, eh?

Car Crash Video - Lexus GS 300

Video from 2007 Insurance Institute - Various Crash Tests

This video is a little bit long (15 minutes) but it is very interesting to see what happens to various popular vehicles when there is an impact from all different directions. This reminds us why the human body can be so badly injured - even if the car survives - that force and energy from the impact can travel to the human body. We hope you find this video interesting and educational and make your own experience with crashing cars limited to watching videos....

Video of Crash Between 1992 Honda And An SUV

We found this YouTube video showing what happens when a 4X4 t-bones an older (1992) Honda. This shows the terrible impact that can result when high speeds are involved in a wreck. Be careful out there driving....

You can also see the vulnerability of SUVs to roll over when in a wreck.

Video Of Truck Skidding Without Trailer

As you know, we highly recommend Ken Shigley's blog - one reason is the depth and variety of posts he has including a nice variety of videos. One new video he has involves a YouTube video of a bobtail tractor (just the truck part without the trailer) skidding on wet pavement. Its interesting, particularly if you are looking at a truck case. Here is the video:

Video Of Side Underride On Trucks

Over the years we have handled numerous trucking cases but what is shown in this excellent video which Ken Shigley has posted about is not something we have seen in video form. It shows what happens to a vehicle that strikes a truck from the side and then what happens when the truck is equipped with safety devices to minimize the harm to the vehicle's driver. First, though, the video shows a rear impact with and without the safety devices. Take a look at the video:

This video makes it very easy to see why truck wrecks so often result in the death of the driver of the car even if the truck is not moving. Be careful out on the roads since we don't (for some reason) have the same safety devices as other countries on our trucks.

Thanks to Ken Shigley of the excellent Atlanta Injury Law Blog who alerted us to this fascinating link of a video of a truck jack-knifing, hitting a vehicle, and ending up in flames. This graphically illustrates why truck wrecks can happen so fast and be so deadly.
