A car accident can be an expensive ordeal, with medical bills, vehicle repairs, and lost wages totaling thousands of dollars. Receiving compensation for an accident that was not your fault can assist you in obtaining the necessary financial and medical assistance.

Insurance companies routinely underpay car accident victims, paying only the bare minimum or only a portion of the losses indicated in a claim. Hiring an experienced attorney who is familiar with insurance company strategies will increase your chances of receiving reimbursement.

If we are unable to reach an agreement with the insurance company, we may be able to seek additional compensation in a personal injury case, which may include both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages are intended to assist with bills, expenses, and property loss. These damages compensate you for monetary losses such as medical expenses, missed wages, or inability to earn future revenue, as well as vehicle damage.

Noneconomic damages are monetary values assigned to non-financial pain and suffering caused by a car accident, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, or loss of consortium, which is the loss of a relationship with your spouse or family members.

The comparative negligence rule governs compensation in personal injury and property damage lawsuits in Texas. A jury will decide the degree of fault shared by both parties in causing the accident under comparative negligence. If you filed a $1,000 claim and it was determined that you were 30% to blame for the accident, you would be awarded $700. However, if you are more than 50% to blame, you will not be unable to recover.

Personal injury victims in Texas are required by law to file a claim within two years of the accident or discovery of a hidden injury. You will not be able to seek compensation if you file a claim after the two-year time limit has expired.

Car accidents involving a drunk driver frequently result in serious injuries. Because of the drunk driver's actions in causing the accident, these accidents can result in serious injuries. The following are some of the most common injuries sustained in DWI accidents:

• Spinal Cord Injury - Paralysis. There's a chance you'll sustain a spinal cord injury. If the impact is severe enough, the injury could result in paralysis. The location of the injury determines the type of paralysis. Paraplegia affects only the legs, whereas tetraplegia affects the arms, chest, and legs.
• Amputation of a limb. A catastrophic DWI accident can either cut a limb or damage it beyond repair, forcing doctors to amputate it.
• Traumatic Brain Injury. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when something penetrates the skull or has an effect on the brain in any way. These can have a negative impact on brain function, affecting cognition and mobility.
• Fractures. In severe DWI car accidents, a bone in a limb may be broken. Broken arms and legs are excruciatingly painful injuries that will almost certainly necessitate the use of a cast for a period of time.
• Common injuries include lacerations, scrapes, and bruises. Serious cuts, scratches, and bruises can result from a collision.
• Soft tissue injuries. Sprains and strains aren't always fatal, but they can be tricky to detect. There may be no obvious indications that anything is wrong with these injuries. If symptoms do not appear for a few days, you may not realize you have been injured until you feel discomfort, which indicates something is wrong.
• Wrongful Death is a legal term that refers to the act of causing death due to the trauma of a serious impact. DWI car accidents can be fatal. If someone is killed as a result of the negligence of another, Texas law provides families with statutory compensation.

While some injuries may heal on their own, many will almost certainly require the services of a doctor, adherence to a treatment plan, and attendance at follow-up appointments. A person with a broken bone may have limited mobility and may be unable to work for an extended period of time.

Missed work could be one of the most serious concerns. Most employers provide sick time, but it may not be enough to meet the needs of the employee until they are ready to return to work. This can be stressful because the individual may want to return to work but is unable to do so.

Accidents can result in mental anguish. The victim may be having difficulty reliving the event, feeling afraid and nervous when they think about what happened, and determining how they will cope. Professional help may be required, and the cost of such care can be prohibitively expensive.

If you were not at fault, you are entitled to justice regardless of the type of injuries you sustain. You have the right to be compensated for your medical, physical, and psychological expenses.

It is considered irresponsible to overserve alcohol. According to Texas Dram Shop Laws, an establishment that overserves alcohol to a minor or a clearly intoxicated person can be held liable for serious injuries or wrongful deaths caused by drunk driving. A company is expected to take reasonable precautions, such as not serving someone who is already inebriated.

Questions a Drunk Driving Accident Attorney Can Answer:

• What was the defendant's blood alcohol level (BAC)?
• Where was the defendant drinking prior to the collision?
• Is the alcohol supplied by a third party, such as a bar or a social host?
• Is there a medical condition that, when combined with alcohol use, could impair the defendant's judgment?
• Is the defendant an alcoholic with a low alcohol tolerance?
• Is there proof that the defendant drove himself to or from the drinking establishment?
