Common causes of car accidents
While some accidents are unavoidable, many collisions occur due to the careless, reckless, or wanton actions of another drive which can include:
- Intoxicated drivers
- Distracted drivers
- Speeding
- Improper lane change
- Failure to yield
- Violating stoplights or stop signs
- Driving at night without headlights on
- Mechanical defects
- Following too close
To recover compensation on behalf of their client, an Isle of Wight car accident attorney and its team must establish that the other driver negligently caused the accident.

- Lost wages

No fee unless we win
At Rutter Mills, you will never receive a surprise bill for legal fees. We operate on a contingency basis, meaning if we do not recover money on your behalf, you will never owe us a dollar. We only recover our attorney’s fees if we successfully recover money in your case.
We believe in transparency with our clients. We will never increase our contingency rate during your case, and we will never charge an up-front fee before taking on your claim. We operate this way because trust between attorneys and clients is critical.
