Car accidents can take many forms and cause many different types of injuries. The Doan Law Firm has experience handling all kinds of car accident cases.

Whatever the circumstances of your accident, we will look closely at all parties who may share responsibility for your injuries, not just the other driver. Our goal is to unlock every source of insurance and compensation available to you.
Determining fault after a crash requires understanding the cause. In fact, causation is one of the elements of a negligence claim.
Some of the most frequent causes of car accidents on Texas roads include:
In many accidents, more than one cause contributes to the crash. An experienced attorney can help you investigate your crash and identify the factors that caused it.
Anyone who suffers injury or loss as a result of a car accident is entitled to receive compensation if the person responsible was negligent. This includes drivers, passengers, pedestrians and property owners.
Texas requires drivers to carry liability insurance in the event of an accident. Texas drivers must carry at least $30,000 per injured person, up to $60,000 total per accident, and $25,000 for property damage (commonly referred to as 30/60/25 coverage).
However, this coverage may not be sufficient to cover all your damages after an accident. You may need to turn to other insurance sources (e.g., UM/UIM coverage) or pursue additional legal action against the driver(s) responsible for the crash.
While every situation is different, following are some of the losses for which you may receive compensation:
An attorney with experience representing victims of car accidents in Waco will be able to analyze your situation to determine the full extent of available damages.
Injured in a Wreck? We Can Help.
Texas follows a rule known as modified comparative negligence. Under this rule, you can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident, as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50 percent.
If you are found to be 50 percent or less at fault, you can recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. For example, if your damages total $100,000 and you are found to be 15 percent at fault, you would be entitled to recover $85,000. Once your level of fault reaches 51% of more, you are barred from recovering compensation through the court system.
Shared fault is an issue in many car accident cases. Insurance companies often try to shift as much blame as possible onto the injured party to reduce or eliminate their own client’s liability. Therefore, you shouldn’t accept an insurance company’s initial assessment of fault without question. An attorney can investigate the accident independently and work to ensure that any fault assigned to you is accurate and not inflated to minimize your recovery.
If you find yourself as a victim in a traffic accident, there are important things you can do to improve your chances of recovering financial damages from the responsible driver.
While each case is different, here are some things to keep in mind:
It’s challenging to provide an accurate estimation of your case’s value without discussing the circumstances of your collision. Factors such as the severity of injuries suffered, number of involved parties, and complexity of the collision will all factor into your case’s value. We are happy to discuss your specific case during a free consultation.
A car accident lawsuit in Waco, TX can take anywhere from several months to more than a year. The complexity of your case and whether or not it goes to trial will play a significant role in determining how long it may take. Our lawyer is happy to discuss your case and the possible directions it could take during your free initial consultation.
Not all car accident lawsuits go to trial. If you are offered a fair settlement value that accurately takes into account the injuries and damages you suffered in the collision, it may be in your best interests to accept that offer. The Doan Law Firm’s auto accident attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to trial, if doing so is necessary to fairly resolve your claim. We have more than two decades of experience in auto accident litigation and always strive to secure the best possible outcome for each of our clients.

At the Doan Law Firm, we take car accident cases on a “contingency fee” basis. You do not pay any upfront costs to retain our attorney, and we are only paid if we secure a successful settlement or case verdict on your behalf.
