Common Misconceptions about Auto Accident Litigation
Here is a quick review of common misconceptions concerning automobile accident lawsuits in Columbia:
Myth # 1: If I have a pre-existing condition, it does not pay to pursue an automobile accident lawsuit in Columbia.
Not true. Pre-existing conditions can be worsened by accidents. Just because you have already suffered one injury or illness does not mean you are not entitled to compensation for another.
Myth # 2: If my injuries aren’t severe or painful enough, my Columbia automobile accident lawsuit will not be successful.
This is a conclusion many accident victims come to. But what you do not know is that injuries not apparent at the time of the accident, or those that appear minor, can actually cause major problems down the road. Let your doctor and attorney advise you as to the best course of action.
Myth #3: The “Automobile Black Box” and the “Airplane Black Box” are the same thing.
The term black box has become a kind of catch-all for a device that measures and records certain details about an accident. But those devices used in automobiles and airplanes differ. For example, an automobile black box is considered less reliable, as it only measures wheel speed, not ground speed. Ground speed can be affected by many factors, including road and weather conditions. In addition, an airplane black box records more information, such as mechanical failures and any safety measures used or attempted. Let the Lourie Law Firm determine whether to introduce black box information into your Columbia car accident lawsuit.
