These Terms of Use govern your use of this website, operated by The Accident Advisory (“we”, “us”). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
Information only — not legal advice
The Accident Advisory provides free, general information. We are not a law firm, we do not provide legal advice, and using this site does not create an attorney–client relationship. Information here is no substitute for advice from a qualified attorney about your specific situation. Laws differ by state and change over time.
Acceptable use
You agree to use the site lawfully and not to misuse it — for example, by interfering with its operation, attempting unauthorised access, or scraping or copying content other than as permitted below.
The reviewer form
If you submit the “Become a Reviewer” form, you’re providing your own professional information for us to consider you for our editorial review panel. Submitting the form isn’t a guarantee we’ll get back to you, and doesn’t create any contractual or professional relationship between us. We may contact you by the email or phone number you provide about your inquiry.
Intellectual property
The content on this site is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by law. You may read and share links to our guides; you may not republish substantial portions without permission.
No warranties
The site is provided “as is”. While we work hard to keep our guides accurate and current, we make no warranties that the content is complete, error-free, or applicable to your circumstances, and we are not responsible for decisions made based on it.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. [Confirm cap / carve-outs with counsel.]
Third-party links and future services
Our guides link to third-party resources we don’t control. If we later introduce an optional service to connect you with independent attorneys, additional terms and disclosures will apply and will be presented at that time.
Changes, governing law and contact
We may update these terms; continued use means you accept the changes. [Governing law — to decide, ideally with counsel: given this site is entirely US-facing, most sites in this position choose the law of a specific US state for practical enforceability against US visitors, rather than the law of the operating company’s home jurisdiction. Still a real decision, not a placeholder to fill blindly.] Questions: our our contact page.
