Please contact us if you have been injured in an automobile accident, car accident, truck accident or any type of accident involving a motor vehicle."A car accident is an incident during which an automobile either departs from regular pathway into a ditch, or collides with anything that causes damage to the automobile, including other automobiles, telephone poles, buildings, and trees. Sometimes a car accident may also refer to an automobile striking a human or animal. Car accidents — also called road traffic accidents (RTAs), traffic collisions, auto accidents, road accidents, personal injury collisions, motor vehicle accidents, and crashes — kill an estimated 1.2 million people worldwide each year, and injure about forty times this number."

Car accidents fall into several major categories: * Head-on collisions
* Rear-end collisions
* Side collisions
* Rollovers
* Single-vehicle collisions
* Multi-vehicle collisions
* Backup accidents
* Level crossing accidents
* Suicide
* Staged Vehicle Accidents
Collisions can occur with other automobiles, other vehicles such as bicycles or trucks, with pedestrians or large animals (such as moose), and with stationary structures or objects, such as trees or road signs.
The result of a side collision; most cars are not as structurally sound side-to-side as they are front-to-back and damage can be more severe to the vehicle and the occupant than at the same speed in a rear-end collision.
In a collision between two cars, the occupants of a car with the lower mass will likely suffer the greater consequences. See: crash incompatibility.
