Car Accident Attorneys in Dallas

Serving Clients Throughout Texas

Over 35,000 people die in motor vehicle accidents every year, and in Texas alone, over 200,000 people are injured. One reportable crash occurs every 57 seconds. These shocking statistics bring to light just how serious car accidents are and what a big problem they cause throughout Texas. Over the years, our roadways have become even more dangerous due largely to technology. These days, there are more distractions for drivers than ever before. Texting while driving has become a huge problem that has led to countless preventable deaths, especially among teenagers. With this in mind, many states (including Texas) are cracking down by implementing stiff texting while driving laws. These laws aim to keep dangerous, distracted drivers from injuring themselves and others on the Texas roadways. If you or someone you love has been injured in a car accident, it is imperative that you understand your rights and work with an attorney who will fight for you.

We understand how stressful these scenarios can be and will do everything we can to represent you well. We are prepared to fight for your rights and help you receive monetary compensation for any damages following a car accident in Texas.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

Car accidents take place every single day in the United States, from minor fender benders to more serious crashes. They can happen on major highways, parking lots, side streets, or on rural roads. The injuries that a person may sustain from a car accident will depend on a host of factors, including the type of collision and speed.

With that in mind, some of the most common causes of car accidents include:

Distracted driving
Speed
Drunk driving or driving under the influence of another substance
Reckless driving
Weather
Failure to adhere to traffic signs or running a red light
Unsafe lane changes
Driving the wrong way on a road or highway

What to Do After a Car Accident

If you are involved in a car accident, taking action quickly and following the right procedures in the immediate aftermath can not only help you recover faster but can even help your case. The first thing you should always do in the event of any accident is check with others involved to see if there are any serious injuries. If there are, call 911 and request an ambulance or paramedics right away.

As soon as the accident occurs, the most important thing to remember is be careful what you say, and never admit fault for anything. It is noble to want to be amicable and cooperative after an accident, but anything you say could be used against you by an insurance company or in a civil suit later, especially if multiple witnesses hear you say it. You should exchange your contact and insurance information with the other drivers involved, but don’t discuss details.

You should cooperate with law enforcement and give a statement to them as they require, but be straightforward, brief, honest, and factual. If you don’t know the answer to a question, say you don’t know—don’t take any guesses or make assumptions. Do not speak with any insurance company about the incident, including your own. They will pressure you for information or to give a statement, but you are not compelled to do so.

When emergency medical personnel arrive, we strongly recommend allowing them to examine you, even if you feel okay. Adrenaline and shock can mask serious pain for up to several hours after the incident, and you may not know the full extent of any injuries you have suffered for even as long as a few days. Even if you feel fine now, it’s still a good idea to visit a doctor as soon as possible for a full examination and documentation of your condition. Be sure to keep any medical records from this visit.

It's easy for the same adrenaline, emotions, and shock to cloud your judgment or memory after an accident, which is why it is extremely important to document as much of the accident scene as you can as soon as possible. Start by taking pictures of the accident scene and any relevant details:

Are there any speed limit or other traffic control signs posted nearby?
If the accident is at an intersection, are there any traffic signals?
Are there any tire marks on the road indicating skidding or loss of vehicle control?
Where is the impact on your vehicle? Where is the impact on the other party’s vehicle? What does the damage look like?
Do you have any visible injuries from the accident?

In addition to any photos, write down any important details you can remember. If any additional memories come back to you later, write those down as well.

Finally, the last thing you should do is reach out to an experienced car accident attorney who can aid you with your case. An attorney can help you assemble a case that holds those at fault accountable for the accident and helps you get the just compensation you deserve, as well as help you file a claim with all relevant insurance companies.
