Negligent Driver Errors Cause Most Carrollton Car Wrecks

The sad truth is that many car accidents are preventable. All drivers are expected to use reasonable care to prevent accidents, but many engage in dangerous behaviors that can lead to crashes, such as:

• Distracted driving
• Tailgating
• Ignoring construction or school zone restrictions
• Speeding
• Improper merging or passing
• Drunk driving
• Fatigued driving

Other factors can also contribute to causing car accidents. Defective car parts and poor road maintenance, for example, can be dangerous. Your attorney will investigate your crash. We need to understand how it happened to identify the at-fault party or parties. That gives us the information and evidence we need to file a claim with the appropriate insurer and support your case.

It is possible that you share part of the blame for causing your collision. Under Texas law, you are still eligible to obtain compensation from the other at-fault parties as long as your degree of fault does not exceed 50 percent. The amount of compensation you may receive, however, is reduced proportionally. For instance, if you are 30 percent at fault, your damages are reduced by 30 percent.

Damages That May Be Available After a Texas Car Crash

Everyone suffers unique losses from car accidents. You may have extensive or catastrophic injuries that require medical treatment, ongoing care, and a prolonged time away from work. Your vehicle and other personal property may have been damaged or destroyed. You could have new disabilities resulting from brain damage, spinal cord injuries, or an amputation. The accident may have severely impacted your quality of life.

Damages in these cases are intended to reimburse you for financial accident-related losses and compensate you for intangible losses. In some cases, you may be able to collect money to address future losses. Surviving family members of fatal car crash victims can also collect compensation for funeral expenses and loss of income in a wrongful death claim.

We will examine the facts of your case to determine how much your case is worth. Then, we will do all we can to see that you obtain every penny.
