Finding the Right Texas Car Accident Lawyer

Blog

For most of us, most of the time, a car accident damages only the vehicle. So we deal with the police, the insurance company, and an auto body repair shop. But what if you’re injured in a car accident? That’s when you’re wise to deal with a lawyer as well.

A South Texas personal injury attorney experienced in handling car accidents can help you get compensated for all your losses. Not just for car repairs, but for medical expenses and lost wages too. And if someone is killed in the accident, skilled legal counsel may help you recover additional monetary damages. Especially if the other driver was speeding or driving under the influence of alcohol.

Don’t Wait to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer.

Hiring a lawyer as soon after your accident as possible can help you avoid costly mistakes. For instance: You’re under a deadline to file a claim. Miss it and you’ll likely miss any opportunity for compensation. A lawyer can see to it that your claim is filed promptly and properly.

Then there’s your insurance company. The sooner they can settle your claim, the less they’ll likely have to pay you. That’s the way it usually works. A savvy lawyer, however, will investigate your case thoroughly and see that your settlement is fair. Before you sign on the dotted line.

Vet the Car Accident Lawyer You Choose.

A car accident lawyer will certainly vet your case before taking it. You should vet your lawyer before you hire him or her. Ask these questions:

How much of your practice is devoted to car accident cases?
What experience do you have with the kind of injuries typically involved in car accidents?
What is a typical settlement range for cases similar to mine?
How much of my car accident case will you actually handle?
How are your fees structured?
What out-of-pocket expenses am I responsible for?

Once you’re satisfied with your lawyer’s answers, he or she will want some answers from you as well. Make sure you’ve gathered as many facts about your car accident as possible. Collect your insurance policy, information exchanged at the accident scene, and your medical records. Bring all this with you to your first consultation and share it with your lawyer freely. The strength of your case for the compensation you need rests heavily on the details provided. And many of those details must come from you.
