Do You Need a Richardson Car Accident Lawyer?
Most car accidents are the result of one or more parties’ negligence. As such, they give victims the right to file claims for damages under Texas’ fault-based car accident laws. Holding an at-fault party responsible may take more than just filing a claim. An insurance company may demand support and evidence, try to refute its policyholder’s liability, and allege your comparative fault. Hiring an attorney can help you overcome these common challenges in the fight for fair compensation. Your lawyer can handle obstacles for you while you focus on healing.
Common Causes of Texas Auto Accidents
Every year, annual motor vehicle accident statistics in Texas emphasize two of the most common causes of fatal accidents: drunk and distracted driving. In 2018, drunk drivers killed 940 victims in Texas, while distracted driving took 398 lives. Although every driver has a responsibility to drive prudently and within the confines of the law, many breach their duties and cause preventable accidents. Identifying the cause of your Richardson car accident is one of the first steps in the recovery process.
- Reckless driving
- Texting and driving
- Drowsy driving
- Driving while intoxicated
- Aggressive driving
- Tailgating
- Speeding or racing
- Making unsafe lane changes
- Ignoring rights-of-way
- Failing to maintain a motor vehicle
If a driver caused your car accident, he or she could owe you compensation through an auto insurance policy. If another party caused your wreck, such as the City of Richardson for a dangerous roadway or an automaker for a defective part, that party may be financially responsible instead. An attorney from the Law Firm of Aaron A. Herbert, P.C. can investigate your recent accident for signs of fault.
How to Receive Full Compensation for Your Damages
It is one thing to accept the first settlement an insurance company offers you. It is another to negotiate for the full amount your injuries and damages demand. When you hire an attorney, you gain the power to make stronger negotiations with an insurance company. Your lawyer can argue for maximum recovery for a range of losses.
- Hospital bills
- Future health care costs
- Lost income
- Vehicle repairs
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death damages
- Punitive damages
Start collecting evidence of your damages as soon as possible. Keep a folder with copies of medical bills, receipts, pay stubs, and income statements. Then, consult with a Richardson car accident attorney about how to pursue fair compensation for all your crash-related losses.
