Automobile Liability

Lydecker’s Automobile Liability practice represents insurance companies, businesses, and individuals in the defense of claims arising from motor vehicle accidents. Our attorneys handle matters ranging from routine collisions to complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, multiple vehicles, and disputed liability.

We develop defense strategies through careful analysis of the accident circumstances, applicable law, medical evidence, and claimed damages. Working with accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals, and other experts when appropriate, we evaluate negligence, causation, comparative fault, and potential exposure.

Bodily Injury and Property Damage Claims

We defend clients against claims involving alleged physical injuries, permanent impairment, lost income, medical expenses, and property damage. Our attorneys examine the nature and extent of the claimed losses, including preexisting conditions and disputes concerning the necessity and reasonableness of treatment.

Commercial Vehicles and Employer Liability

We represent businesses and their insurers in claims involving company vehicles and employees operating vehicles in the course of their work. Our defense addresses allegations of vicarious liability, negligent hiring, training, supervision, and entrustment.

Complex and High Exposure Litigation

Our attorneys handle serious accident claims involving pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles, and multiple parties. We assess competing accounts of the incident, available physical and electronic evidence, and expert opinions to build a comprehensive defense.

Strategic Litigation and Resolution

From initial investigation through discovery, mediation, and trial, we focus on protecting our clients’ interests and pursuing efficient, favorable resolutions. We evaluate opportunities for early settlement while preparing each matter for litigation when necessary, keeping clients informed throughout the process.
