The Role of a Texas Personal Injury Attorney in a Vehicle Accident Claim

Our Texas personal injury attorneys play a crucial role in vehicle accident claims by providing experienced legal representation and support to victims seeking compensation for their injuries and damages.

The process begins with assessing the accident details to determine the claim’s viability and outlining the actual value of their claims, including long-term medical costs and non-economic damages like pain and suffering, which individuals may undervalue or overlook with professional legal help.

Personal Injury Attorney

From there, we will offer a professional opinion on the best course of action based on the case’s specifics. Here, we discuss how our role unfolds and what our clients can expect when partnering with Glen Larson Law Injury Attorneys.

We Will Conduct a Thorough Vehicle Accident Investigation and Evidence Gathering

By conducting a meticulous investigation and gathering comprehensive evidence, our personal injury attorneys build a solid case to establish liability and support our clients’ claims for compensation.

This thorough approach ensures that all relevant details are considered and maximizes the chances of a successful outcome.

That includes:

  • Obtaining and reviewing official police reports and supplementary documentation from the crash scene.
  • Verifying details such as citations issued, the officer’s observations, and any preliminary fault determinations.
  • Visiting the accident scene to understand the layout and identify any potential evidence.
  • Taking photographs and videos of the scene, including skid marks, vehicle damage, traffic signs, and road conditions.
  • Identifying and interviewing witnesses who saw the accident or its aftermath.
  • Collecting detailed statements to capture their perspective and observations.
  • Inspecting the client’s vehicle and the other vehicles involved to assess damage and gather forensic evidence.
  • Collaborating with accident reconstruction experts to analyze vehicle damage patterns.
  • Seeking any available surveillance footage from nearby businesses, traffic cameras, or dashcams.
  • Collecting and preserving video evidence that captures the accident or relevant moments before and after the incident.
  • Consulting medical experts to understand the extent and implications of the client’s injuries.
  • Gathering medical records, treatment plans, and prognosis reports to document the injuries and necessary medical care.
  • Collecting employment records to calculate lost wages and impact on future earning capacity.
  • Taking detailed photographs of injuries immediately after the accident and during recovery.
  • Documenting the progression of healing and any permanent scars or disabilities.
  • Retrieving data from vehicle black boxes (Event Data Recorders) that record speed, braking, and other critical data points, when available.
  • Examining mobile phone records to determine if distracted driving played a role in the accident.
  • Reviewing weather reports and road maintenance records for the time and location of the accident.
  • Assessing how environmental factors may have contributed to the accident.

Once our skilled Texas personal injury attorneys have all the necessary details and our investigation is complete, we provide each of our clients with guidance on their legal rights and options available to develop a strategic approach to maximize the chances of a favorable outcome.

Our Texas Personal Injury Lawyers Deal Directly with Insurance Companies

It is essential for our Texas personal injury attorneys to deal directly with insurance companies instead of our clients facing them alone because we have the experience to navigate the complexities of insurance claims and negotiations.  Insurance companies take advantage of the general public because the insurance companies’ goals are to underpay, delay or deny coverage to increase their profits

Insurance companies often employ tactics to minimize payouts, such as offering quick, lowball settlements or using statements against the claimant. Our lawyers understand these strategies and can effectively counter them, ensuring our clients receive fair compensation.

We handle all communications, preventing our clients from making inadvertent statements that could harm their cases. By managing the legal intricacies, we relieve our clients of the stress and burden of dealing with insurance companies, allowing them to focus on their recovery.

That includes meticulously drafting a demand letter outlining the facts of the case, including how the accident occurred and who was at fault.

This includes a detailed account of the injuries sustained, medical treatments received, and any ongoing or future medical care needed. The letter contains an itemized list of all damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other relevant costs.

It specifies a monetary amount for compensation based on the total calculated damages and any additional factors that might affect the settlement value based on supporting documents, such as medical bills, employment records, photographs, and expert reports, attached to substantiate the claim.

The demand letter is sent to the insurance company, initiating the negotiation process.

Our attorneys advocate for the highest possible settlement, using the evidence and arguments presented in the demand letter.

Once an agreement is reached, the insurance company and the attorney finalize the settlement details. Our client signs a release form, waiving their right to pursue further legal action related to the incident in exchange for the agreed-upon compensation.

The insurance company disburses the settlement funds, which are distributed to our client after deducting any legal fees and expenses. This structured approach ensures that our clients’ interests are effectively represented and that they receive the compensation they deserve without the stress of handling negotiations themselves.

If the claim cannot be finalized during negotiations, our Texas personal injury attorneys are trial-ready and represent our clients inside the courtroom to ensure we are pursuing the best outcome for each case.
