Car upside down Most car accidents that result in injuries are usually caused by violations of traffic laws. Someone is rushing and decides to drive faster than they should. Someone makes the decision to change lanes without looking. Someone can’t afford to be held up by a stop sign or light, so they decide to drive right through it. Someone is addicted to their “smart” phone, so they choose to look at it instead of paying attention to the road. Tailgating, aggressive driving, drinking and driving, and driving while under the influence of medication or fatigue are all causes of accidents. These are the choices that people make, either consciously or unconsciously, that lead to car accidents. If someone does any of the above and collides with another person, they are liable for any injuries or property damage caused by the car accident.

These rules are not intended solely to provide police officers with justification for issuing traffic tickets. These safety rules are in place to keep us all safe. If people break the rules of the road and injure someone, they must pay for the damage or injury caused by their actions. To require less encourages those who break the rules to continue doing so, making them a hazard to those who drive lawfully and safely on public roads. Violations of traffic laws make drivers dangerous not only to others, but also to themselves and passengers in their vehicles.

Typically, an automobile collision injury results from a decision to break the law. Choosing to speed, attempting to beat a red light, and failing to pay attention (messing with a cellphone, text, radio, or whatever is distracting the driver). These are the choices that lead to the majority of car accidents and injuries. The laws that were enacted to ensure the safety of everyone else. The insurance industry refers to “accidents” as if nothing could have been done to prevent what happened. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Insurance claims and lawsuits for damages, injuries, and deaths are caused by drivers who violate traffic laws and traffic safety regulations that apply to all drivers.

Very efficient staff. I am VERY pleased with this firm. Gina W.

Very professional job handling my accident claim. I had some ER bills, and some visits to my ortho after (and various other bills that kept coming in). I was afraid I was going to get stuck owing money, but Doug Goyen took care of the case and had everything paid, including compensating me for the injury. Great lawyer IMO. I felt like my case was taken care of very well. Thx!! Bernard M.

Doug is a great attorney. He took care of my auto accident claim promptly, and answered any questions I had. I also had one of my hospital bills go into collections for non-payment. I was able to contact Doug a year after the accident, and received a copy of the check the hospital claimed they didn’t receive. I highly recommend this guy. David J.

The Law Office of Doug Goyen helped me recovery every bit I was owed on my claim. Very happy I used them. They knew what they were doing, and kept me informed. I felt taken care of the whole way. You wont go wrong using them. Arthur H.

Mr. Goyen helped me take on my own insurance company, the great and mighty Allstate. My prior firm basically dumped me, with a permanent injury because the case didn’t meet their financial guidelines for a settlement. I was a bicycle rider hit by a car driver at an intersection, and Allstate was the company on BOTH SIDES OF THE CLAIM. My own insurance company tried to throw me under the bus to limit their payout! Without Mr. Goyen’s help, I would have been left with NOTHING! I had thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills, unable to receive treatment to correct the issue. He was unafraid and helped me get the best settlement I could … I am tremendously thankful! Pamala M.
