WE'RE ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE

Most of the injuries in Personal Injury claims are due to car accidents.

​

Most of us have been a victim of car accident or at least know people from our immediate family, or a close friend, who has been in a car accident.

​

Our lawyers understand that a car accident can be a life-turning event. You might be confused about your rights after a serious car accident. It is also possible that you might not correctly measure the significance and value of your case. You could be waiving badly needed compensation if you don’t file your claim correctly.

Laws in Texas for Car Accidents: Fault Decides your Accountability

​

When speaking in terms of accountability and compensation, most of the states in our country are either fault or no-fault states.

​

When the state is a no-fault state, insurance companies are to pay for everyone’s medical costs irrespective of who was at fault for the accident.

​

When a fault state, damages from accidents are to be paid by the driver who was at fault. Such is the law in Texas.

​

This means that in case of someone else’s fault during the accident, you have the right to file a case against the driver at fault. You can also file against your own insurance company if you have paid for additional coverage.

Obviously, insurance companies are unwilling to pay money to you if they can avoid it. The ONLY reason insurance companies hire Insurance Adjusters is to minimize the amount of money they pay out.

​

Hence, just the fact that the fault wasn’t yours in an accident isn’t enough. Proper evidence and proofs are required to verify that if it weren’t for the other driver’s actions, the accident could been avoided.

​

With the assistance of our attorneys, you can gather the following types of proofs and evidence:

​

• Statements of eyewitnesses;

• Police accounts;

• Vehicle control module data;

• Views of experts in accident reconstruction;

• Images of damages and scene of the accident;

• Examination of vehicles’ physical damage; and

• More.

Our lawyers have expertise in litigation to help you through your case.

Usually, depending upon their ratio of faults, each of the involved parties is to pay for their share of damages. So, if you are responsible for only 5% of the damages, you will have to pay your 5% share for the damages. The other party will not be compelled to pay 100%. The compensation is divided fairly between both the parties. The other party will compensate for only 95% of the damages.

It’s important that you understand the ways you can be compensated for your damages in a claim or a lawsuit for car accidents.

​

If the other party fails to fulfil their responsibilities and liabilities, you have right to file a case against them in court. You can be compensated for your damages as follows:

​

• Future reduction in capacity for earning;

• Medical costs;

• Missed payments or wages;

• Future medical costs;

• Physical or mental harms; and

• Physical property damage to your car

• Other damages…

After a car accident, car insurances assist their covered drivers by attempting to shield them from any personal accountabilities of the incident so that no, or very little, money and property damages are paid.

​

You will require a lawyer to prove the other party’s fault and a professional negotiator to study your case and make sure that your settlement is just. The flaws in the cases are not necessarily obvious. You can boost your chances of getting 100% compensated for your damages with the help of our lawyers.

​

In case of serious injuries, an attorney is a good option for you. Your priority should be your healing and recovery. You can depend on our legal team to get the most possible amount of money for your damages.
