Our Dallas personal injury lawyer makes certain that your claim covers all of the ways in which the car accident harmed you.
During an auto accident investigation, we look for all possible causes of the accident to determine who or what is at fault. Various causes of car accidents may hold others liable. The following are some of the most common causes of car accidents:
The following checklist is for people involved in an accident. The list includes things to do if there is an injury involved. It also includes specific resources for people involved in accidents in Azle, Texas.
Check to see if anyone has been injured. Check to see if you are hurting more than you realize. Accidents are traumatic, unexpected, and sudden. The shock of the accident frequently causes people to underestimate the severity of their injuries. Check on your passengers next. After that, check on the people in the other vehicles involved. If anyone is hurt, seek medical attention.
Dial 911. Please notify the dispatcher if anyone is injured. Police and paramedics will be dispatched to assist. Police will secure the scene of the accident, assist injured people until paramedics arrive, and then take statements from those involved in the accident.
Make a list of the witnesses’ contact information. If there are any witnesses at the scene of the accident, get their names, phone numbers, email addresses, and any other contact information they may have. The other driver may appear to be admitting fault, but their story may change when the police arrive or when they report it to their insurance company. If this occurs, you will require the witness information.
NOTE: If you are injured and unable to complete any of the tasks on this checklist, call a friend or family member to come to the scene and assist with the checklist.
Obtain identification and insurance information. All other drivers should exchange identifying information as well as auto liability information. Anyone involved in a car accident in Texas is required by law to exchange this information, regardless of who is at fault. Take pictures of your identification and insurance.
Take pictures of the vehicles that were involved in the accident. Take photos of the other vehicles’ damage, the points of impact, and the license plate numbers. Take photos of any skid marks on the ground as well as any debris on the ground.
Take pictures of the road in both the direction you were going and the direction you were coming from. Take pictures of where the other drivers were going as well as where they came from.
Cooperate with the officer of the law. The officer will compile an accident report. You want your statement to be included in the report. Inform them of your side of the story. Inform them if you are injured, in pain, or experiencing any discomfort that you were not experiencing prior to the accident. Everything will be documented in the police report.
Azle Police Accident Reports: The Azle Police Department has their accident reports available online here: Azle Police Accident Reports.
Texas DOT Accident Reports: Another place to locate accident reports is through the Texas Department of Transportation. If it has been 2-3 weeks or longer since your accident, the report is likely on this database as well: Texas Department of Transportation Accident Reports
Inform paramedics if you have been injured. Allow the paramedics to assess your condition. They have been trained to recognize symptoms and signs that your injury may be more serious than you realize. Inform them of any pains or discomfort you are experiencing.
Emergency Rooms: If you decide to go to the emergency room on your own, the following emergency rooms are located in the Azle, Texas area:
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS AFTER LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN AUTO ACCIDENT
Your first step in protecting your rights is to hire a personal injury lawyer who specializes in car accidents. Before hiring a lawyer, speak with them. Do not sign up unless you can speak with a lawyer first. Because the lawyer represents you, not the case manager, you should feel confident that the lawyer will do everything possible to protect your rights and get you the results you require.
If you are injured, do not speak with any auto insurance companies. Allow your lawyer to speak for you if you have been injured. If you are injured, the job of the insurance adjuster is to try to minimize your claim as much as possible. They will do whatever they can to get you to say something that will get them out of paying at all.
Get medical attention for your injury. If you don’t know where to go or how to pay for treatment, the Law Office of Doug Goyen can find medical facilities that will treat you while deferring payment on their bill until your insurance company releases payments for your injury.
Photograph any visible injuries. Take pictures of any visible bruising, cuts, abrasions, or other injuries. The insurance company will want proof of any injuries, and photos of the injuries from the accident will be helpful.
Get an estimate for your vehicle’s repair. Make your own estimation. The insurance company will provide you with a quote that is less than the actual cost of repairing your vehicle. They do this because some people do not repair their vehicle after an accident and instead use the money for other expenses. This allows the insurance company to save money by paying less than the actual cost of the damage. If there is a dispute about liability that arises, you need your own estimate to prove the amount of damage that was done.
Body shops often write free estimates – they want your business. Body shops in the Azle, Texas area that can write estimates and do repairs for your vehicle include:
Keep duplicates of all bills and receipts. Anything you have had to pay or owe as a result of the car accident must be reimbursed. Make copies of everything and give them to your lawyer so that you can be reimbursed for your expenses.
Keep an eye on what you post on social media. Assume that everything you post will be seen by the adjuster or the lawyers for the insurance company. They will use any means possible to cast doubt on your injury, so be careful what you post.

The Law Office of Doug Goyen represents people who need representation for themselves or a family member who has been injured or killed in cases involving the following practice areas:
The Texas Department of Transportation recorded 1,866 rural traffic fatalities in 2019, with 731 individuals killed in incidents at or near junctions and 600 killed in head-on collisions. In Texas, there were no death-free days in 2019. While we deal with the insurance company and preserve your rights, you may concentrate on getting healthy and caring for yourself and those around you.
Large commercial trucks inflict significant damage and injuries. In the United States, about 500,000 truck accidents occur each year. Large truck accidents claimed the lives of 4889 persons in 2017. From 2009 to 2017, the number of people killed in major vehicle accidents climbed by 42%. We will fight for you to ensure that you receive the money you are entitled to and that your rights are protected while you recuperate.
Every year, drunk drivers inflict serious injuries and deaths. In the United States, roughly 28 people are killed in drunk-driving accidents every day, or one every 52 minutes. We can assist you if you were hurt by a drunk motorist. We fight their insurance companies to make sure you're compensated for the harm and injury they've caused.
Pedestrians who are hit by cars can sustain catastrophic injuries. In 2017, 5,977 pedestrians were killed in traffic incidents in the United States. That means one person dies every 88 minutes. A total of 137,000 pedestrians were treated in emergency departments for nonfatal crash-related injuries in 2017. We assist pedestrians who have been hit by cars in obtaining compensation for their injuries.
Bicyclists who are hit by a vehicle are at danger of serious harm. Bicyclists are involved in around 2% of all fatal car accidents each year. Since 1975, the number of cyclists killed has tripled among those aged 20 and up. Head injuries cause the majority of bicyclist deaths, stressing the significance of wearing a bicycle helmet. We represent bicyclists who have been struck by inattentive motorists.
We assist customers in collecting compensation for their injuries when bars or restaurants continue to over-serve inebriated people, and those people create accidents that result in injuries. Drinking establishments are held liable under Texas law for overserving clearly drunk patrons who then go out and injure or kill innocent people.
We defend the rights of motorcyclists who have been injured by inattentive driving. In 2019, 5,014 motorcyclists were killed in motorcycle accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. (NHTSA). In 2019, motorcyclists were roughly 29 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a crash per vehicle mile traveled. We are suing the insurance company for full compensation.
If negligence is shown, the property owner is accountable for injuries, such as slip and falls, that occur on their property. Every year, over 800,000 people are admitted to hospitals as a result of falls, with the most common traumas being a head injury or a hip fracture. Unpaid medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and other injuries or damages may be the property owner's responsibility.
Our firm represents people who have been harmed by another person's animal. Over 300,000 people visit the emergency room each year as a result of dog bites. Many people who present to hospital emergency rooms with dog bite injuries are hospitalized, necessitating surgical procedures and long-term pharmaceutical treatment. Negligent dog owners are liable for any damage their dogs cause.
Construction sites are among the most hazardous places to work. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 5,333 fatal work injuries in the United States in 2019, a 2% increase from the 5,250 recorded in 2018. Many accidents occur as a result of hazardous working conditions. If you were injured on the job, walking through, or driving through a construction zone as a result of someone else's negligence, you may have a claim against those responsible.
Working in an office, factory, construction, or railroad is fraught with danger. In 2018, there were 488 fatal workplace injuries in Texas. In 2018, 5,250 workers in the United States died as a result of fatal occupational injuries. That equates to 9.29 percent of all deaths. Our legal team can assist you if you have a non-subscriber workplace injury claim, a construction accident, or any other type of personal injury claim.
When a person dies as a result of negligence in a car accident, his or her family and estate have a claim against the negligent parties. The Texas Wrongful Death Act and the Texas Survival Statute both allow for recovery. We represent families and estates in their efforts to obtain restitution for their losses.

Doug is a great attorney. He took care of my auto accident claim promptly, and answered any questions I had. I also had one of my hospital bills go into collections for non-payment. I was able to contact Doug a year after the accident, and received a copy of the check the hospital claimed they didn’t receive. I highly recommend this guy. David J.

Mr. Goyen helped me take on my own insurance company, the great and mighty Allstate. My prior firm basically dumped me, with a permanent injury because the case didn’t meet their financial guidelines for a settlement. I was a bicycle rider hit by a car driver at an intersection, and Allstate was the company on BOTH SIDES OF THE CLAIM. My own insurance company tried to throw me under the bus to limit their payout! Without Mr. Goyen’s help, I would have been left with NOTHING! I had thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills, unable to receive treatment to correct the issue. He was unafraid and helped me get the best settlement I could … I am tremendously thankful! Pamala M.
