At Saggese & Associates we know how devastating motor vehicle accidents can be. The number of car accidents increases every year — involving millions of Americans. Even though an accident is a common event, it is unanticipated, and the injuries can be life-altering or, tragically, fatal.
Our firm has experience prosecuting claims against careless drivers, fleets, and manufacturers whose vehicles failed to meet crashworthiness standards. We aggressively preserve evidence and pursue maximum compensation for injured clients.
