Determining Fault After a Texas City Car Accident

One of the most important strategies our Texas City car accident attorney will provide to you is clearly demonstrating fault in your accident. The evidence in your case determines fault, but that does not mean the police report contains all the information available. We investigate your case fully to determine all parties at fault.

Examples of those who may be at fault in a car accident include:

• Drivers: The driver of the vehicle that did not abide by traffic laws or was operating under the influence is at fault in many situations.
• Driver employers: If that driver was working at the time of the accident, the employer may be responsible for the losses you incurred as well. This does not happen in every situation, but it can occur if the driver was engaging in workplace services at the time of the accident.
• Vehicle manufacturers: If your accident occurred because a vehicle broke down due to poor design or malfunctioning components resulting from poor assembly, we seek action against the manufacturer. We look at trends in vehicles like yours to determine whether this may be the case.
• State agencies: In some situations, the at-fault party is the city or state, and while the rules for these claims differ, they can still be valid. That includes poor road maintenance, debris on the road, or non-working streetlights.

You may not be sure why the accident happened. We will find out. When you contact our Texas City car accident attorney, you become our priority. We will gather as much information and data as possible to build your case. The more parties we identify as at fault, the more opportunities we have to recover damages for you.

What’s the Process of a Car Accident Claim in Texas?

After a car accident, focus on getting medical care. Once you know what all of your losses are, our Texas City car accident attorney will build a claim for you that includes all of your losses and evidence to back up those claims. Consider the following steps, which are part of the claims process in most situations.

• Gather records and documents. Before anything else, expect our attorney to gather as much information as possible about your injuries, even speaking to your doctors and gathering medical records.
• File the claim. After calculating all losses, we then file a claim with the insurance company for the documented losses. This outlines who is at fault, what happened to you, and your financial losses.
• Negotiate. We do not encourage you to negotiate with the insurance company yourself. They will use a variety of tactics to limit the compensation paid to you. Instead, our Texas City car accident attorney will work to answer any of the questions the insurance company has. We negotiate a fair settlement for you.
• File a lawsuit. There are some situations where the insurance company fails to act or denies your claim. In these cases, our legal team will pursue action against the at-fault party by filing a lawsuit. This generally prompts them to take your case seriously and leads to a settlement.
• Go to trial. In most cases, this does not happen. However, our trial-experienced attorneys are ready to represent you at trial if necessary.

Every step of the way, we provide you with clarity, clear communication, and support. Let our Texas City car accident attorney guide you.

Cost of Hiring Our Texas City Car Accident Attorney

The cost of hiring a Texas City car accident attorney is nothing upfront. You pay nothing out of pocket for our legal services. Instead, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay only if we win your case.

The cost of hiring our legal team depends on the type of case and claim, and what you agree to at the time of your consultation. We are always transparent about these costs. Remember, you only pay out of the settlement you recover when we win your case.

Steps to Follow After a Texas City Car Crash

Knowing what to do after a car accident is essential. These steps protect your right to file a claim for compensation later. Take the time to engage in these steps when you can do so safely.

• Call 911, move your vehicle out of the immediate area of harm, and wait for help. Follow the dispatcher’s guidance on how to handle any injuries in the meantime.
• Get the other driver’s name and contact information. You need to gather their insurance information and driver’s license data as well.
• Take photos and document the accident thoroughly. This includes taking photos of the location, the damage, and the surrounding area.
• Get the name and contact information for anyone who saw what occurred or was involved in the accident.
• Get medical care immediately. Even if you feel like you have no injuries, go to the hospital for a checkup.

These steps prepare you for the steps necessary to file a claim. We also encourage you to contact us immediately. By hiring a Texas City car accident attorney, you prepare yourself for whatever the insurance company tries to do to you.
