Auto Accidents: Protecting Your Rights

We help clients navigate the complexities of dealing with insurance companies, ensuring that their legal rights are protected and that they receive fair compensation for their injuries.
Common Causes of Injury: Understanding Liability
In personal injury cases, understanding the cause of injury is crucial to determining liability. Patterson Legal Group has extensive experience in identifying the root causes of injuries, whether they result from:
- Negligence: Such as distracted driving, failure to adhere to safety protocols, or medical malpractice.
- Reckless Behavior: Including aggressive driving, speeding, or driving under the influence.

Identifying the cause of injury is essential to building a strong case and securing the compensation you deserve.
