AUTO ACCIDENT?
Auto
Accident
Driving is as much as part of most people's lives as
eating and sleeping. With so much time on the road,
accidents seem inevitable. But while some crashes prove
minor, many more result in serious injuries or fatalities.
In many cases, motor vehicle accidents are the result
of driver distraction or recklessness. From cell phones
to speeding to substance abuse, certain behaviors put
people at risk.
If you have been injured because of someone else's
negligent or wrongful behavior, you may be entitled
to compensation under the law. We can help you deal
with the insurance companies, who often want you to
settle for less than you are actually due. Mr. Braddock
will stand up for your rights and make sure you receive
what you deserve. In addition, we can help you file
a lawsuit against the guilty party. You may be able
to receive compensation for your pain and suffering,
loss of earnings, medical expenses, impaired earning
capacity, and personal property damage. There are time
limits governing auto accident cases, however, so please
contact us today!

Ford/Firestone
"Bridgestone/Firestone compiled evidence of tire
safety problems at least eight months before its huge
recall in the U.S., but failed to take any action, according
to internal Firestone documents." The Wall Street
Journal.
Automobile manufacturers have an important responsibility
to consumers when it comes to vehicle design and safety.
Defective design, parts, or production can spell disaster
on the roadways. This is exactly what happened in the
case of the Ford/Firestone tires. A problem with Firestone's
ATX and ATX II tires in the P235/75R15 size caused their
tread to separate . For SUVs, in particular the Ford
Explorer, this meant a high risk of vehicle rollover.
Rollover accidents are some of the most serious motor
vehicle accidents, often causing permanent injury or
death to drivers and passengers. SUVs have a higher
propensity for rolling over already; the defective tires
increased this risk.
If you purchased Bridgestone/Firestone Tires, especially
the Firestone Radial ATX P235 75 R15, please
contact us as soon as possible. You must
act quickly to ensure your claim will not be barred
by statutory limitations.
