Negligence can occur in many different ways on the road. We handle a variety of Fort Worth car accident cases, including:
No matter what type of accident you were involved in, one of our attorneys can help.
Any personal injury lawsuit that you choose to bring could result in a settlement or court award. In either case, you may be able to collect compensation for some or all of the losses that you suffered because of your car accident.
An auto accident lawyer at our firm could fight for you to recover such awards, which may include compensation for:
Our auto accident lawyers gather various documents to serve as evidence of your losses. If you qualify for future losses, we can also take these into account, estimating their likely value. For example, we can talk to your doctors about your prognosis to determine what type of ongoing medical care you may need. Their testimony can help us prove your expected future medical expenses.
Our auto accident attorneys can also collect your wage statements and consult economic experts to determine how much you stand to recover for reduced earning capacity. If your injuries prevent you from returning to work, this type of damage would come into play. Even if you can return to work on light duty, you deserve to make up the difference between your pre-injury income and what you can now earn.
When it comes to calculating non-economic damages, such as physical pain and mental anguish, we can apply a few different methods to assign a dollar value to these losses. For example, if your injuries prevent you from engaging in the activities you once enjoyed or make daily tasks difficult, we can seek loss of quality of life.
Specifically, we must demonstrate how the other party acted negligently and caused the accident. This involves the four elements of negligence:
When it comes to motor vehicle crashes, the duty of care often refers to each driver’s responsibility to obey the laws and stay alert for potential dangers (e.g., pedestrians crossing the roadway). A breach of duty could mean the other driver ran a stoplight or turned without signaling, causing both the crash and your injuries.
You may have to prepare yourself for the other party to claim that you shared some responsibility for the crash–but if this happens, we can help.
According to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001, you can still seek compensation from the responsible party as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the accident. However, if you share some degree of liability, your settlement could be reduced according to your degree of fault.
We can investigate your case and seek evidence to show that the negligent driver was primarily responsible for the accident. We can then present a compelling case to the insurance companies.
The statute of limitations is the time limit imposed on accident victims and survivors who wish to recover compensation. In Texas, this limit is two years, according to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003.
The longer you delay, the harder it may be to collect damages for pain and suffering, cost of repairs, and everything else you have lost. We encourage you to contact us right after you receive your first round of medical care. This way, you protect your rights without risking your health by putting off treatment.
