Automobile collisions on busy South Coast corridors like Interstate 195, Route 140, Kings Highway, and Coggeshall Street frequently cause catastrophic harm. As dedicated car accident lawyers, truck accident lawyers, and motorcycle accident lawyers, attorney Luiz investigates crash scenes, gathers police reports, analyzes vehicle telemetry, and consults medical specialists to prove liability. The firm handles a wide variety of motor vehicle claims:

• High-impact rear-end collisions, broadside impacts, and rollover accidents involving reckless drivers
• Commercial truck and delivery van crashes requiring compliance audits of federal safety rules
• Motorcycle and bicycle collisions caused by distracted or negligent motorists
• Pedestrian injuries in crosswalks, school zones, and parking areas across New Bedford
