Medical and Non-Medical Expenses Can Be Recovered After a McAllen Accident
The injuries that follow a crash with an intoxicated driver can often be especially severe. You may require medical treatment including emergency room care, laboratory and imaging exams, prescription medications, surgical procedures, assistive medical devices, and more. A personal injury claim or lawsuit can help you recoup these medical expenses and other losses.
Non-medical expenses that might also be eligible for recovery in a personal injury claim or lawsuit include:
- Current and future lost income
- Short- and long-term physical disability
- Disfigurement and permanent scarring
- Pain and suffering and mental distress
The expenses of the injuries you sustained can start at the accident scene and last for months or longer. They can also add up surprisingly quickly.
If you are faced with one or more of these losses due to a DWI accident, our team can help you prepare a comprehensive case for financial recovery.

We Will Build a Comprehensive Claim for Your Financial Compensation
When you decide to fight for an insurance settlement from the at-fault driver, we can join you in the fight for compensation. To support your claim for compensation, we can create a case file containing:
- The official crash reports
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Paycheck stubs
We might also request photos of the scene of the accident, photos of your injuries, and other documents and evidence to bolster your claim. If possible, we will interview witnesses and conduct other forms of independent investigation to prove the cause of the DWI accident and prove that the accident led to your injuries.
You can also take steps to build your own evidence file for your case. After the accident, you may wish to take down any available contact information from witnesses to the accident, for instance. You can also seek out a copy of your crash report online, according to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

Other Legal Services Offered By Our Team
Our injury lawyers will do more than build evidence for your case. We will handle every step of an insurance claim or lawsuit for you from start to finish, including:
Determining the value of your case
Once we’ve gathered evidence of your injuries and losses, we can help you determine an accurate value for your case. We will also help you estimate the cost of any future medical care and other injury-related losses, and we will include that amount when we approach the insurance company with our demand letter.
This is one other important reason why injury victims may choose to work with our team. If an insurance company makes an early settlement offer after your accident and you accept it without seeking legal advice, you may not realize the true value of your case—and you could be leaving money on the table.
We will be sure to seek the full, fair amount you deserve.
Handling All Communications Negotiations with an Insurer for You
Communications with an insurance company can be challenging to handle on your own for a number of reasons. First, you could face unfair insurance tactics, as an insurance company could claim that your injuries aren’t as serious as they are or that you were more at fault for the accident than you truly were.
Second, they could even try to use any statements you make about the accident against you. For instance, if they call you soon after the accident and ask you to make a statement about the crash, they could misconstrue your words as an admission of fault.
We will handle all of the necessary communications with an insurer for you and protect the value of your case.
Taking Your Case to Court if Necessary
If we are unable to seek a fair settlement through the negotiations process, we will not hesitate to take your case to court.
We will litigate on your behalf, if necessary. However, in many cases, an insurance company may become more motivated to settle a case once we file suit.
