General information about caravan accidents that may occur during your vacation

Caravan Accidents

It is not so unlikely that you get involved in a vehicle accident while you are going on a vacation trip, as some interstates and highways get extremely busy, especially during the summer months. Auto crashes can occur on every corner as a result of speeding, internal mechanical or engine damage of cars, trucks and recreational vehicles or even simply because someone on the road got too nervous or too absent minded and lost control over the steering wheel.

What to do in case of an accident during your vacation?
If you accidentally get involved in such a misfortunate event and injure yourself through no fault of your own you must immediately find an attorney to defend your rights during the investigation and help you settle for a fair amount of compensation. No matter how skeptical you are towards requesting a legal advisor’s assistance, you may be surprised to find his advice very beneficial for the future improvement of your finances. A little initial investment on legal aid can eventually win you an amount high enough to cover not only your medical expenses and lost wages but also sufficient to secure your future for the next few years. An expert RV accident injury lawyer is what you need from the very beginning in order to get the amount you consider fair to make up for your pain and suffering during the vehicle accident recovery process.

How do RV accidents happen?

It is an interesting fact that state laws do not require special driving permits for the recreational vehicles like caravans and campers, despite they cannot maneuver so easy as other vehicles. The result is that the more inexperienced drivers that are not used to the size of that vehicle end up in accidents. Motor homes and campers driven by people unqualified to drive over-sized vehicles are more likely to end up in an accident situation than those operated by senior drivers experienced in maneuvering and keeping good balance on the road with recreational vehicles.

The hazards for a trip over of oversized-vehicles also depend on the type of RVs. Most of the accidents appear because of poorly balanced load or overloading, insufficient driver’s experience, runaway trailers, rollover caused by higher center of gravity, poorly calculated turns and driver fails to notice a vehicle in the RVs’ large blind spot.

US official statistic data provided by The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration points that over 85,000 people annually get involved in Recreational Vehicle accidents and, unfortunately, for more than a thousand of the events turns out to be fatal. If you want to know how much is your case worth when involved in a crash due to the negligence of another you then need to consult a RV injury lawyer.

People trust their insurance companies to provide them with full compensation following a property disaster or injury. Unfortunately, people rarely receive all of the insurance money they are due.

Insurance companies calculate damage claims using a computer process that undervalues claims. By design, materials and labor are valued lower than true market values. By doing this, insurance companies can defend their choices to undercut customers. They can say “our estimates show we should pay you this much” when, in reality, the cost is much greater.

When an insurance company delays or refuses to pay on a valid claim without a good reason, it is considered to be in “bad faith” of the insurance contract. At The Hackney Law Firm, we make compensating clients our mission. We stand firmly with clients, helping them to fight back against bad faith insurers in a variety of Alabama property damage and personal injury scenarios.
