Dallas Car Accident Lawyer

In 2007, Texas had more than 20 million registered vehicles – up from 14.2 million in 2000. Millions of motorists travel across our roadways every day and most drive carefully, never thinking they might be involved in an accident. Unfortunately, countless drivers fail to observe traffic signals and speed limits, or they do not keep a proper lookout for other people on Texas roads – and that leads to thousands of traffic accidents each year. More than 3,400 people died in 2007 as a result of automobile accidents in Texas, and many more suffered serious injuries.

Some of the leading factors contributing to automobile accidents in Texas include:

  • Driver inattention
  • Speeding
  • Drunk driving
  • Running of red lights
  • Defective or dangerously designed automotive parts
  • SUV rollovers or other malfunctions due to product design

The victims of car accidents often face serious injuries, with costly medical bills that may last for months or even years after the accident. Many people assume the other driver's insurance will cover all of the hospital bills, but this is often not the case because they may not carry adequate coverage – and because insurance companies may deny claims or attempt to minimize the amount of money they pay out for damages.

Insurance company representatives may try to convince accident victims to sign releases or accept insufficient settlement amounts. If you have been seriously hurt in a car accident, never sign an insurance company document without consulting with an attorney first – you can easily lose your right to legal action without fully understanding the extent of your injuries.

If you believe you may have grounds for a personal injury case against another driver, you must be able to prove negligence. Under Texas law, each and every motorist is required to keep a “proper lookout.” This means every driver has a duty to pay attention to the road and other motorists in order to fulfill his or her driving responsibilities.

Regardless of how clear negligence may appear to be in a car accident, skilled legal representation is necessary to secure the maximum compensation for your injuries. Often victims are unaware of long-term health consequences until months after the accident. An attorney with experience in Texas automobile accident cases will consult medical experts who can provide additional opinions on your injuries and future medical issues. This information can help guide a well-informed legal strategy designed with the best interests of you and your family in mind.
