Carelessness is taxed heavily when an aggressive and effective personal injury lawyer becomes involved.  When a person's conduct is unreasonable, the damage they cause creates liability to pay.

If an automobile injury lawyer can determine fault and negligence, recovery of damages (monetary compensation) is usually appropriate.
