Our clients recognize that lawyers who solicit people for business might not be the most qualified lawyers to handle their case.

The other driver was clearly at fault and hit me. Why do I need a Galveston County Car Accident Lawyer since the insurance company has to pay?

One of the most common mistakes people make following an accident is assuming that since fault is clear the insurance company has to pay for all of their medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. This is categorically incorrect and has no basis in fact or law. Texas is a liability state. This means that insurance companies are not required to pay anything until the case has settled. Further, insurance companies do not pay the medical bills until they have reviewed the records and have satisfied themselves that the treatment was causally related to the car accident. The underlying motive of insurance companies is to reduce their exposure to loss. In other words, the less they pay per claim, the larger their profits at the end of the year. Insurance companies look for common mistakes made by individuals during their treatment when determining the dollar value to assign to a claim. In essence, they look to avoid payment by claiming the treatment was not related to the car accident.

This is when the advice and counsel of an experienced attorney becomes invaluable. Our clients meet with our Galveston County Car Accident Attorneys on day one. We explain what insurance companies are looking for to avoid paying on their claim and how they can protect themselves. It is imperative that a well-informed client explain their medical situation to their doctors as clearly and as simply as possible from the very beginning of their case. Some of the most common mistakes made by people are the easiest to prevent, unfortunately, the mistakes end up being the costliest.

How do I prove who was at fault?

Insurance carriers know the more time that passes after an accident the harder it becomes to gather evidence as to the cause of the wreck. This becomes important when you have two different stories about how the accident took place. A familiar situation is when two cars collide in an intersection and both drivers claim they had the green light. If there is a witness, that person’s statement needs to be secured as soon as possible. Claimants cannot rely on their own insurance company or the adverse carrier to do this, especially if the witness would give a statement adverse to their insured. As time passes memories fade, people move or pass away. Failure to secure the witnesses statement may result in a key piece of evidence being lost forever. There are many reasons insurance companies deny claims, the most common of which are discussed in the article Denied Car Accident Claim.

Our Galveston County Car Accident Attorneys work to find every possible source of money to compensate you for what you’ve been through. Our investigations include, but are not limited to, DMV insurance checks, asset checks, and private investigations. We make sure our clients are fully informed about the financial and legal aspects of their case every step of the way. In the ever-changing landscape of personal injury law and damages our car accident lawyers have the experience and resources to get our clients everything the law says they deserve. Further, our Galveston County Car Accident Attorneys handle all aspects of insurance subrogation, at no additional cost, to put more money in the pockets of our clients.

In some situations, it may not be objectively clear who the at-fault driver is following an accident. Our Galveston County Car Accident Lawyers have access to several engineers across Texas in a variety of car accident cases. An engineer is uniquely qualified to reconstruct the accident using physical evidence. After a reconstruction the engineer is in a position to provide testimony regarding how the wreck took place. Many times, the engineer can provide explanations as well as disprove the defense’s claims. We have represented hundreds of individuals where their claim was denied prior to us becoming involved. Through the use of highly experienced engineers, we have won millions of dollars for those same clients. You can view some sample verdicts and settlements of cases many of them were denied by the insurance company. To us, a denied case does not equate to a closed case, just another challenge to overcome.

Do I need to wait to hear from the insurance company before I see a doctor?

Your health is more important than anything else. As such, you do not need anyone’s permission before receiving treatment for your injuries. Along with your health, proving medical causation is one of the most important legal aspects of your case. In essence, this means proving that the accident caused the injury you are complaining of. Many people make the mistake of failing to tell their doctor all of their symptoms or waiting too long to go to the doctor after the accident. Since the burden of proof is on the claimant these common mistakes allow the insurance carrier to argue a lack of causation, thereby avoiding payment. As such, the longer they can delay you from treating the more they benefit.

When cases are litigated in Texas the Plaintiff has the burden of proof for each and every element of their claim. Medical causation can be the most obvious element to the injured party and the most confusing to the jury. Defense attorneys and insurance companies spend countless hours and dollars distorting medical causation to sway a jury and eliminate their need to pay or at least reduce the jury’s eventual award. Gaps in treatment can result in irreparable damage to your claim. We tell our clients to always make their health the number one priority and help them get the care they need.

Should I speak with the insurance company before speaking with a Galveston County car accident lawyer?

One of the most common questions we hear from our clients deals with whether they should speak with the insurance company for the at fault driver. Unfortunately, many people make the mistake of speaking to the at-fault party’s insurance carrier. There is no legal requirement to speak with the insurance company. The insurance adjusters are trained to ask specific questions to elicit a response which might irreparably harm the claimant’s case. Our lawyers do not let our clients speak with the insurance carrier.

We believe in being as candid with our clients as possible. We believe the only way to represent people is to be as clear and transparent with them as possible so that they can make the best decision for themselves. The first thing our lawyers will explain to you is that after being injured in a car accident you can bring a claim against the at-fault party’s insurance carrier. From the point of view of the insurance carrier the value of the claim is dependent on how clear the liability is and the extent of the injury. In many situations the insurance carrier will attempt to reduce its exposure by arguing that their insured was not at fault, partially at fault, or that the wreck did not cause the injury claimed by the plaintiff/claimant. Our lawyers will explain what each defense means as well as the counterargument.

Will I get compensated for what I am going through?

Our lawyers work to find every possible source of money to compensate you for your personal injury. Our investigations include, but are not limited to, DMV insurance checks, asset checks, and private investigations. We make sure our personal injury clients are fully informed about the financial and legal aspects of their case every step of the way. In the ever-changing landscape of Texas personal injury law our lawyers have the experience and resources to get our clients everything the law says they deserve. Further, our lawyers handle all aspects of insurance subrogation, at no additional cost, to put more money in the pockets of our clients.
