Why Hire a Tucson Electric Vehicle Accident Lawyer?
Electric vehicles can cause a lot of damage in Tucson when they collide with other vehicles on the road, bicyclists, and pedestrians. There is a high concern for fires, electrical shock, and burns due to their large batteries.
Some common injuries from electric vehicles include:
- Road rash
- Head trauma
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
- Accidental amputation and/or limb entrapment
- Paralysis
- Spinal injuries
- Whiplash
- Bruising
- Concussion
- Depression
- Broken bones
- Anxiety
- Internal organ damage
- Torn ligaments
- Burns
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Electric vehicle crashes can also be more dangerous for first responders due to electric currents and exploding batteries. No matter your involvement, if you’ve been injured in an EV-related accident it’s imperative that you reach out to an attorney from Lerner and Rowe.
You deserve financial compensation to help cover medical bills and other losses. A Tucson electric vehicle accident lawyer will find the liable party behind your electric vehicle wreck and hold them accountable for compensation.
Types of Claims a Tucson Electric Vehicle Accident Lawyer Can Handle at Lerner and Rowe
Electric vehicles are just like traditional vehicles in the sense that they can be involved in any of the following common Tucson traffic wrecks:
- Fender benders
- Head-on collisions
- Collisions with fixed objects
- Pileups
- Turning crashes
- Collisions with parked cars
- Single-car collisions
- Angle crashes
- Multi-vehicle collisions
- T-bones
- Sideswipes
Electric vehicle accidents, however, can involve unique injury claims. Exploding batteries, even in parked cars, and software malfunctions are potential dangers. In these cases, a Tucson electric vehicle accident lawyer can pursue compensation from the car manufacturer or software developer responsible.
Potential Causes of Electric Vehicle Collisions
Here are some other ways that electric vehicles can happen in Tucson:
- Batteries that catch fire or explode, either from a collision or spontaneously
- Self-driving steering complications
- Sudden acceleration or deceleration
- Negligent manufacturing
- Defective parts
- Poor maintenance
- Driver inexperience
- Loose parts from panels and doors
Determining causation is the first step in figuring out if you have a valid claim. It’s possible multiple parties owed you or your loved one a duty of care and failed to uphold it.
If this is the case, you will have multiple insurance companies to deal with which can get complicated. Not only can a Tucson electric vehicle accident lawyer help investigate the accident to determine the true cause, but they will also handle correspondence and negotiation with the insurance companies while you focus on recovering from your injuries.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim After I’m Hurt in an Electric Vehicle Collision?
You have two years to file your electric vehicle claim in Tucson, due to the Arizona statute of limitations. Your attorney will help you figure out exactly when your deadline is, so act fast and contact us today.
