Car Accidents 
Millions of Americans are injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents every year. Staggering statistics reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that the majority of accidents involving cars, trucks and SUVs could have been prevented if proper driver safety was applied. An accident can completely alter your life and impair your physical and mental health.

NHTSA statistics show that fully 98 percent of reported accidents involve a single, distracted driver. Rubbernecking was the highest percentage of single distractions, followed by driver fatigue, looking at scenery or landmarks, passenger or child distractions, adjusting the radio or other music form, and cell phone use. While the increase in cell phone use is believed to be a significant contributor to higher car accident statistics, in reality the influence appears just minor. As cell phones become even more widely used the effect may become more of an influence and it might take time for the actual impact to appear in studies.

Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders are the most vulnerable people on the road. In the event of an accident, motorcycle drivers and passengers face far more risk than those in cars and trucks. At The Law Offices of Chalik & Chalik , they understand the complexities of defending injured cyclists, and the need for fair and just compensation.

The U.S .Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported more than 17,000 injuries and 4,500 motorcycle-related fatalities in 2005 (the highest number to date). Almost half of the people who died were not wearing a helmet.

Motorcycle crashes end in severe injury or death more often than auto accidents. More than 80 percent of multi-vehicle accidents involving motorcycles are caused by the negligence of the driver of an automobile. Since motorcycles can stop much faster than cars, they are more likely be rear-ended by a negligent driver following too closely. Many motorcycle accidents also occur when the driver of an automobile fails to yield the right of way.

Chalik & Chalik  is aware of insurance company defense tactics, and Chalik & Chalik wants to make sure you get the compensation you deserve. Depending on the severity and impact of the motorcycle accident, medical bills, lost wages, disfigurement, pain and suffering, and a loss of life enjoyment can be claimed. The Law Offices of Chalik & Chalik can help you prove cases that include:

• Negligence by the defendant in failing to prevent your injury. An example would be a reckless or inattentive driver involved in the accident. 
• Liability for defective products that may have caused the injury or fatality.
• Recalls because of poor design or faulty production of the motorcycle. Cycles recalls have run the gamut of causes from bolts that break, brakes that fail, loose handles, to defective tires. 

Truck Accidents
Every 16 minutes, another person in the United States is injured or killed in an accident involving a large truck. Eighteen-wheelers and other large freight carriers can be extremely dangerous when handled improperly on the road, and can turn deadly if improperly maintained. If you or someone you love was injured or killed after a collision with a large truck, you are most likely dealing with ongoing medical or burial expenses and emotional strain.

A fully loaded eighteen-wheeler will pretty much destroy any other vehicle on the road upon impact. Many passengers or drivers involved in truck accidents require a lifetime of care due to traumatic and severe spinal or head injuries.

Truck accident lawsuits tend to be far more complex than other vehicle accidents for several reasons, so it is best to consult with a Chalik & Chalik truck accident attorney.
