2,179 accidents were reported in Frisco, Texas in 2019 according to the Texas Department of Transportation. The number of accidents occurring in Frisco has gone consistently up in recent years. A large part of the increase is from distracted driving. Drivers are talking on cell phones and texting while driving. This increase in the number of accidents has caused an increase in the number of people injured due to these accidents.

We represent people injured in auto accidents. Our representation of our clients includes a wide variety of services. Each case has its own facts so the services in each case can vary depending on the needs in that case. Services that we provide that are typical in car accident injury cases include:

1. Collecting for the medical bills caused by the injury caused in the accident. The bills include hospital, doctor, ambulance, radiologist, specialist, therapist, chiropractor, medication, and any other bills related to the treatment of a client’s injuries from the accident.

2. Finding medical facilities for clients who do not know where to go for treatment, and do not know how they will be able to afford the treatment required for their injury. We help find medical facilities for clients that are willing to defer collections for their bills until the insurance company has made payment for the injury claim.

3. Gathering evidence to prove liability against the driver at fault in the accident, to fight any attempt by the insurance company to place any blame on our clients.

4. Gathering documentation needed for compensation for any lost income when clients are forced to miss work due to their injuries.

5. Obtaining the full settlement value for our client’s personal injury claim, including money for their pain and suffering, and any other injury they have suffered due to the accident.

What types of compensation are available if you are injured in a car accident? In most cases, victims of personal injury will be awarded both economic and non-economic damages. The specific damages available to you will be determined by the severity of your accident and the specific injuries you sustain.

Economic damages are paid to compensate you for the financial costs incurred as a result of an accident. These can include both your current out-of-pocket expenses and any reasonably anticipated costs. Medical expenses, nursing care, property damage, and lost wages during recovery are all examples of economic damages.

Non-economic damages are paid to compensate you for injuries and harms that do not have a monetary cost. These injuries are notoriously difficult to quantify, which is why a monetary award can vary greatly from case to case. Pain and suffering, mental anguish, and disfigurement are examples of non-economic damages.

COMMON TYPES OF INJURIES CAUSED BY AUTO ACCIDENTS

Car accident injuries can be as diverse and varied as the types of crashes that cause them. How your body reacts to the force of a collision is affected by your position in the car, how you are hit, and whether or not you are wearing your seat belt. Even in minor accidents, injuries are not uncommon.

It is critical to seek treatment from an auto injury doctor following an accident in order to have injuries treated as soon as possible and properly. Keep a close eye on your body and mind in the weeks that follow, as some symptoms may not be obvious right away.

The following are some of the most common injuries caused by car accidents:

• Spinal Cord Injury
• Brain Trauma Injuries 
• Burn Injuries
• Internal Organ Injury such as Liver, Kidney, Adrenal Injury or Adrenal Hemorrhage

COMMON TYPES AND CAUSES OF AUTO ACCIDENTS

We want to help you understand the causes of car accidents and, as a result, learn preventative measures for car accidents.

While some of these car accident causes may appear obvious to experienced drivers, the following is a list of many of the most common causes and types of auto accidents.

• Tailgating Accidents
• Speeding Accidents
• Debris Causing Accidents
• Driving while Fatigued
• Failure to Yield Accidents

The following checklist is for people involved in an auto accident. Included are things needed to be done when an injury is involved. The list provides specific resources for residents of Frisco, Texas when involved in accidents.

1. Check injuries. Make sure you check yourself first. Often people are in shock after an accident because it is unexpected, traumatic, and sudden, and they do not realize their injury right away. Check on your passengers. Then check on the occupants of the other vehicles involved in the accident. If anyone is injured get help immediately.

2. Call 911 if anyone is hurt. Let the dispatcher know if anyone is injured. They will send out police and paramedics. The officer will secure the accident scene, help with anyone injured until paramedics arrive, and then investigate and take statements from people involved in the accident.

3. Write down witness information. Get the names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails of any witnesses. The other driver may seem like they are admitting fault at first, but they can easily change their story once the police arrive, or later when they talk to the insurance company.

   NOTE: If your injury keeps you from performing anything on this checklist get family members or friends to come to the accident scene to help you gather the information you need.

4. All drivers involved need to exchange information. Texas law requires drivers involved in auto accidents to exchange identification and auto liability insurance information with anyone else involved in the accident. This is true regardless of who is at fault. Take photos of any ID and insurance information provided.

5. Take photos of the damage to the vehicles involved. Include pictures of the damage to your vehicle, and any other vehicles involved in the accident.

   Take photos of any debris in the roadway from the accident. Take photos of any skid-marks in the road from the accident.

   Take photos of the roadway in the direction you were traveling and in the direction you were coming from. Do the same for any other vehicles involved in the accident, take photos of the direction they were traveling and in the direction they came from.

6. Give the police officer your statement. The officer investigating the accident will interview each person involved individually. Make sure you give your statement so your version of what happened is on the police report. Let the officer know if you are injured or feeling any pain or discomfort.

   The Frisco Police Department Accident Reports can be obtained online at the Frisco Police Department’s Crash Reports page.

   Accident reports can also be obtained through the Texas Department of Transportation’s online portal here: Texas Department of Transportation Accident Reports.

7. Follow the paramedic’s advice. If you are injured the paramedics will check you for signs and symptoms of any serious injury. If they advise you to go to the emergency room then you should go.

   If you decide to drive yourself or have someone else drive you to the emergency room, there are several emergency rooms in Frisco, Texas, including:

   • Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Frisco: Emergency Room – 5601 Warren Pkwy, Frisco, Texas. Phone +1 214 407 5000

Nobody wants to be involved in an accident and injured or in pain. Texas law requires that if someone causes harm to another person through negligence that the injured person should be compensated by the wrong-doer for the injury and damage they caused. In order to protect your rights to compensation, the first thing you need to do after being injured in an accident is to hire a personal injury lawyer that handles auto accident claims. Interview the attorney first. Do not hire any law office without first speaking to your lawyer. If you are unable to speak to the lawyer then do not hire that firm. Hire a lawyer that knows how to get the compensation your case deserves.

1. Do not talk to the insurance company if you are injured. The adjuster’s job is to pay as little as possible on injury claims. If they can get you to say something that allows them to deny the claim they will do so. Let your lawyer speak to the insurance company on your behalf.

2. Go to a medical facility for treatment of your injury. If you are unable to afford medical treatment or do not know where to go for treatment of your injury, the Law Office of Doug Goyen can help you find medical facilities that can treat your injury and defer collections on the billing for the treatment until the insurance company pays the injury claim.

3. Photograph any visible injury. Insurance companies demand proof of an injury before paying for an injury claim. Photos of visible injuries from the accident help show your injury.

4. Get an estimate on the damage to your vehicle. Get your own estimate. The insurance company will write their estimate low in the hopes you will not actually fix the vehicle and use the money paid on the original estimate for other bills or costs. That way they get out of paying the full value of the damage their driver caused.

   If there is a dispute about the accident you will need your own estimate to prove the amount it will cost to repair your vehicle. Body shops typically will do free estimates for people involved in auto accidents.

   Body shops in the Frisco, Texas area include:

   • Frisco Paint & Body Inc. – 7059 Main St, Frisco, Texas
   • Parkwood Collision – 8066 Parkwood Blvd, Frisco, Texas
   • Service King Collision Frisco – 8661 Main St, Frisco, Texas
   • Caliber Collision – 4210 Preston Rd, Frisco, Texas
   • Caliber Collision – 6440 Preston Rd, Frisco, Texas

   If you need a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired, the following rental car companies are located in Frisco, Texas:

   • Enterprise Rent-A-Car – 4760 Preston Rd #240, Frisco, Texas
   • Enterprise Rent-A-Car – 8811 Teel Pkwy #260, Frisco, Texas
   • Budget Car Rental – 8756 Teel Pkwy Ste 315, Frisco, Texas
   • Hertz – 2930 Preston Rd, Frisco, Texas

5. Gather any bills or receipts. Keep copies of anything you have paid or owe due to the accident. Give copies of these bills, receipts, and records to your attorney so they can get reimbursement for your costs and expenses.

6. Watch what you put on social media. Assume your adjuster and the insurance company lawyers will see what you post on social media. Do not post anything that can be used against your injury claim or against you in general.
