Texas Car Accident Lawyer
There were 40,100 motor vehicle deaths in 2017 according to estimates by the National Safety Council. The safety council also estimated that 4.7 million people were seriously injured in motor vehicle crashes that same year. Victims do not just sustain traumatic injuries in such accident but also have to deal with financial and emotional consequences.
Do not suffer in silence if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident that was caused by another person’s negligent actions. Contact a qualified car accident attorney that will work tirelessly to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. An attorney can help you recover medical and hospital bills, lost wages, funeral costs and more.
How an Experienced Attorney can Help You
Your attorney will quickly start the process of forming a strong case against the defendant’s side. The attorney will review your case, help you gather evidence and give you the necessary advice you need to make informed decisions about your case. The most urgent factors your attorney will look at following a traumatic car crash include:
- Funeral costs
- Medical treatment and other medical costs now and in the future
- Lost wages
To form a strong case, you will need to submit all the documentation needed to establish a claim so that you can receive a settlement you deserve. Your attorney will handle the medical providers, insurance companies and the litigation process so that you can focus on your recovery.
What you need to know about Insurance Companies
Since Texas is a fault state, insurance companies will first determine fault before they provide coverage. It is the insurance of the at-fault or negligent driver that should pay for your losses. However, insurance companies are mostly interested in obtaining the lowest possible settlement. Your attorney has experience negotiating with insurance companies and will always demand you get the full compensation you deserve.
