Automobile
Accidents -
In 2007,
there were 10.6 million automobile accidents in the United States.
1,210 drivers died in Tennessee, 1,110 drivers died in Alabama, and
3,214 drivers died in Florida; this is not to mention the millions
that were injured and the billions of dollars in car repairs that
were lost. Of those that went to court, those who went to court with
legal representation had a much higher success rate than the
unrepresented. We find that the greatest problem encountered by
those involved in an automobile accident is attempting to negotiate
with stubborn insurance companies. Our firm has a great deal of
experience negotiating with insurance companies and will see to it
that you get the compensation that you deserve. Additionally, if the
party at fault has no or not enough insurance (like approximately
22% of drivers in Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama), we will
negotiate with the uninsured/underinsured insurance carrier to give
you what’s rightfully yours.
Motorcycle
Accidents -
While less
of the populace operate motorcycles than automobiles, motorcycle
accidents are surprisingly common, especially in the South. In 2008,
145 motorcycles were killed in Tennessee, 556 were killed in
Florida, and 99 were killed in Alabama. Motorcycle accidents bring
many of the same issues common to automobile accidents; however,
sometimes the exact cause of a motorcycle accident can be less
clear, requiring the services of an accident expert to help prove
your side of the case. Our firm knows where to find the people
required to resolve your case. Additionally, approximately a third
of motorcyclists involved in major accidents reportedly hold invalid
licenses, causing further complication for the unrepresented. As
motorcycle accidents continue to be on the rise, we will continue to
see that each one is brought justice.
18-Wheeler
Accidents -
Over
500,000 18-wheeler accidents occur every year in the United States,
and the injuries sustained by those lucky enough to survive are
usually horrific, creating astronomical medical bills and great
deals of pain and suffering. Of these 500,000 accidents,
approximately 5,000 result in fatalities. In fact, 18-wheeler
trucking accidents account for one of every eight traffic deaths.
Many of the dangers of 18-wheelers result from the fact that
truckers are forced to drive long hours without sleep, and such
large tractor-trailers are extremely hard to operate due to their
wide turns and blind spots. 18-wheelers are held to different laws
and traffic regulations than smaller automobiles, making cases and
litigation in which they are involved slightly different.
Pedestrians
- In the
United States, pedestrian fatalities account for eleven percent of
motor vehicle fatalities, making pedestrian deaths the second
largest category of automobile fatalities following occupants. On
average, a pedestrian is injured in traffic every eight minutes and
killed in a traffic accident every two hours. When a pedestrian is
struck by an automobile, he or she often undergoes serious injuries
as well as a great deal of pain and suffering. Here at RON KIM LAW,
we will see to it that such unfortunate circumstances are
remunerated. While, just as in motorcycle accidents, pedestrian
injuries bring less clear negligence than automobile accidents, our
firm’s trusted associates in the accident investigation field can
shed light on the case. |

Premises Liability
is a legal term used to describe the responsibility that the owners
and occupants of a given property have for a wide range of accidents
or injuries that may occur on the site. For example, slip and fall
claims are common. In addition claims may be filed for injuries that
are result equipment that is used on the property. Also injuries
that may be a result of another person's actions on the property may
be the responsibility of a property owner, especially if the owner
fails to provide adequate security on the property. Each year,
thousands are unrightfully injured due to the negligence of a
property owner. These injuries can occur from anything from faulty
stairs, floors and walkways to electrical shock. If you think you
were injured by the negligence of a property owner, please contact
RON KIM LAW to get the legal assistance necessary to get the
compensation that you deserve, including reparations for pain and
suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages. Common cases of
premises liability include, but are not limited to |
