Jamestown, New York Auto Accident Attorney

AV Rated ®

If you have been injured in a car accident, you need the assistance of a lawyer that takes the time to explore the many variables of the case in order to pursue a solution that is in your best interests. At the office of Erickson Webb Scolton & Hajdu, our lawyers are highly educated and skilled individuals who are focused on providing you with representation that is tailored to suit your individual situation. To gain the ability to pursue a personal injury case in New York, there has to be a death, dismemberment, distinct disfigurement, fracture or other “serious injury”: one that has caused you or a loved one to lose function or requires surgery. Your lawyer can help you further understand how your case may fit within the guidelines that have been established.

Our focus in handling auto accident and other vehicle accident matters is not only on the offending driver. We view your case from a multifaceted perspective, seeking to determine if aspects of the vehicle’s design or outside influences contributed to the severity of the injuries you sustained in the crash. Some of the details we look for are listed below, though there are hundreds of different characters that we may examine.

  • seat belt defects
  • defective air bags
  • improper signage on the road
  • improper road design or maintenance

Our attorneys also handle trucking accidents. In these types of cases, we take the time to scrutinize all aspects of the situation, taking into account the federal laws and guidelines that apply to trucks. Many accidents are thoroughly preventable. Our firm goes the extra mile in gaining access to information about the driver of the truck. This could include driver’s logbooks, information about a driver operating outside the parameters established by law (such as reckless driving or falling asleep at the wheel), or discovering if a driver has prior violations. All of these aspects are important to your case.

As in any personal injury case that our firm handles, we pursue wrongful death claims on behalf of individuals who have lost a loved one in a crash or accident. Our firm also handles motorcycle accident cases.
