Auto, truck, bicycle, motorcycle, train, bus, and taxi accidents

Automobile accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injuries in the United States. Whether you were driving a car, riding a bike, or walking as a pedestrian, if you were involved in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. At Cutler & Associates, our experienced personal injury attorneys can help you navigate the complex legal process and ensure that your rights are protected.

Truck accidents can be particularly devastating due to the size and weight of these vehicles.

If you were involved in a truck accident, our team of attorneys can help you recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Bicycle and motorcycle accidents can also result in serious injuries, as riders are often left vulnerable to the impact of the collision. Whether you were hit by a car while riding your bike or were involved in a motorcycle accident, our attorneys can help you pursue a claim for damages.

Train, bus, and taxi accidents are also common causes of personal injuries. If you were injured while riding on public transportation or were hit by a train or bus, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys have experience handling a wide range of transportation-related injury cases and can help you understand your legal options.
