Being injured in a car accident can be a traumatic and life-changing event. When you have suffered injuries due to the negligence of another driver, you may be unsure about where to turn for help. Fortunately, a skilled and experienced attorney can advise you on the best steps to take to hold a negligent driver responsible for an accident and recover financial compensation for your losses.
Jerry D. Andrews, P.C. provides effective legal representation for people in Farmers Branch who have been hurt in car crashes. We fight for our clients' rights, working to help ensure that they can receive the compensation they deserve. Our attorney has been Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, demonstrating his ability to help injury victims address the injuries and damages suffered in car wrecks. Whether an accident was caused by distracted driving, drunk driving, or other types of negligence, we can help an injury victim get back on their feet.
The Dangers of Distracted Driving
An increasing number of car accidents in Texas and across the country are caused by distracted driving. This type of negligence may include anything that takes a driver's attention away from the road, such as talking on the phone, reading or sending text messages, eating, adjusting the radio, or engaging in conversations with passengers. Distracted driving is responsible for thousands of car wrecks and injuries every year.
When a driver is distracted, their reaction time is significantly delayed. They may fail to notice red lights, stop signs, or other vehicles that are slowing down or stopping. This can easily result in rear-end accidents, side-impact crashes, or worse. Our lawyer works to ensure that distracted drivers who cause accidents are responsible for the damages suffered by victims.
Car Accidents Caused by Drunk Drivers
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is another common cause of car wrecks. Drunk driving impairs a person's ability to make sound decisions, react to other vehicles or pedestrians, and control their vehicle. When a driver is intoxicated, their judgment may be compromised, and they may cause serious accidents, including head-on collisions, T-bone crashes, or rollovers.
Drunk drivers can be held legally responsible for causing accidents. Our personal injury lawyer can help victims of drunk driving accidents take steps to recover compensation for their financial losses and the personal impact of their injuries. In some cases, drunk drivers may also face criminal charges, which can add another layer of legal complexity to a case. Our attorney can provide guidance on the best ways to handle the civil and criminal aspects of these cases.
Common Types of Car Wrecks
Car accidents can take many forms, and they may include:
- T-Bone Collisions: This type of accident may occur when one vehicle strikes the side of another vehicle. A collision may take place at an intersection or in another situation where a vehicle crosses traffic. T-bone crashes can be especially dangerous because of the limited protection on the side of a vehicle, which can result in severe injuries due to the direct impact.
- Rear-End Accidents: Some of the most common types of accidents occur when one vehicle collides with the back of another vehicle. These crashes are often caused by tailgating or distracted driving. Most of the time, the driver in the rear vehicle will be considered to be at fault for a rear-end car wreck.
- Head-On Collisions: When a vehicle collides directly with the front of another vehicle, the accident is likely to result in serious injuries or fatalities. Head-on crashes may be caused by drivers veering into oncoming traffic due to impaired driving or fatigue.

After a car wreck, your first priority should be to ensure your safety. Call 911 to report the crash. If necessary, an ambulance may come to the scene to provide aid. Exchange insurance information with the other driver. If possible, you can take photos of the scene and the damage to the vehicles, and you may also gather witness statements. As soon as possible, consult with our attorney to determine what steps you can take to recover financial compensation.
To prove fault, it may be necessary to gather evidence such as police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction data. Our attorney can take steps to collect and preserve evidence, ensuring that the other driver can be held liable for their negligence.
Yes, you can still receive compensation if you were partially at fault for a car accident. However, your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
You may be eligible for compensation that will address your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. In cases where the other driver engaged in gross negligence, you could be awarded punitive damages in addition to other forms of compensation.
