Car Accident & Auto Accident Attorneys

Automobile Accidents are the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 35. According to statistics released by the United States Department of Transportation, there were approximately 6.3 million auto accidents in the United States in 2004, with these accident causing approximately 2.9 million injuries and 43,000 deaths. Auto accidents have been steadily rising since the 1990s, partially as a result of increased sales of sport-utility vehicles, and partially due to the increase in overall vehicles on the road.

This trend increases your chances of being in an accident, and if you are involved in an automobile accident, you need to move quickly to protect your legal rights. Remember, some of your injuries may not be apparent at first or may grow worse with time. Each car accident case at Kelley/Uustal is handled by an experienced personal injury lawyer.

Use care when choosing an attorney. Too often, the focus of inexperienced attorneys in automotive accident cases is solely on the cause of the collision, fault between the parties, and insurance bad faith. Experienced trial attorneys, however, also focus their efforts on “second collision” claims. These claims address automobile safety and stability features that fail to provide a vehicle occupant reasonable protection from injury, regardless of the cause of the crash. In catastrophic injury cases, where the injured victim needs extensive medical care, this experience may mean the difference between life and death.

The Kelley / Uustal Forensic Discovery Methodology reconstructs the accident, seeks out evidence that others miss, and finds proof in evidence that means nothing to attorneys without forensic experience.

Through our experience and the Kelley / Uustal Forensic Discovery Process, we have built a strong track record of helping victims in their pursuit of justice and have obtained some of the largest verdicts in the country for catastrophic vehicle accident injuries.
