VEHICLE ACCIDENTS

Vehicle accidents can be devastating. When another person is a negligent or dangerous driver, and their behavior results in you or a loved one being seriously injured, you have a right to seek monetary compensation for your injuries. Erratic and hazardous driving or
inattentiveness while operating a motor vehicle often results in a severe or life-threatening injury. Unfortunately, the fact is that millions of car accidents occur every year in the United States. A vast amount of these accidents could have been avoided. If this has happened to you or a loved one, you need a qualified Vehicle Accident Attorney to help protect your future. We at our Law Firm have worked with accident cases for years and have the experience necessary to help you recover the damages you are legally owed. We have dedicated our practice to helping victims of various types of vehicle accidents recover damages for the exorbitant medical bills and property damage bills that often follow a terrible crash. Not only are you facing certain economic losses, but also non-financial losses affecting all car and motor vehicle accidents victims. Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma are all losses that cannot be measured in monetary compensation. However, with the help of your Accident Attorney, you can take the legal steps to recover compensation for your non-economic losses as well. We will fight aggressively for your rights and won’t stop for anything. Our clients are essential to us, and you deserve to be treated fairly. We will stand up for you and help you get what you are legally entitled to.

We are a private firm, and you can have an actual conversation with the attorney working with you.
When you need help, we will be there to answer your questions.
You will always know the status of your case when you work with us.
Other law firms might shuffle you from associate to associate – this will never be the case when you work with one of our injury lawyers. We are dedicated to providing our clients with respectful and courteous service throughout our dealings.
We feel that you deserve nothing less than the best possible legal advice and representation.

Texas is not a no-fault insurance state. This means that the person responsible for the accident is also responsible for paying for damages. Texas’ auto laws allow injured accident victims to hold liable parties accountable for the damages they cause. It is best to
speak with a qualified accident attorney to get the compensation you deserve. We are familiar with the insurance laws and know how to handle all accident cases. If you have struggled with the insurance company, feel frustrated, or feel like you’re not getting anywhere, we can help you. Our accident lawyers are skilled and experienced in handling insurance companies and getting you the compensation you deserve. We know that the insurance company is just that – a company – and they don’t want to lose money any more than the next business. We know how to work with these companies to help get you the compensation you are entitled to.

This Isn’t a Do-it-Yourself Job

To learn the law, an attorney spends years in law school. Then, he or she must prove his or her knowledge by passing the bar, but that’s only where the real education process begins. Practicing law successfully requires extensive experience. While the laws in every state permit a victim to represent him or herself, you would be doing yourself a great disservice by doing so. Non-attorneys are easily defeated by clever defense lawyers because they know people without legal experience cannot handle the procedural minutiae they demand of them. When the inexperienced non-lawyer fails to process a requirement, like a request for a list of admissions, the case can be swiftly thrown out of court. You have too much at stake to risk losing it all by trying to defend yourself. You need to hire a skilled accident injury lawyer like those at our Law Office, who can protect your rights, correctly process all of the court’s requirements, and help you attain a favorable settlement or verdict.

What Our Law Office can Offer You

Once we’re hired, our Law Office offers our clients comprehensive legal assistance, including all of the following services:

Conducting a stringent investigation to pinpoint all of the parties who were responsible for a given accident and finding the proof to prove the case against them – eyewitness testimony, videos, photos, or other physical evidence.
Processing all necessary paperwork including filing the claim with the insurer if it has not already been done.
Buffer our clients from all communication with pushy and aggressive insurance adjusters.
Making sure our clients receive adequate and affordable medical attention, even when they think they don’t have the means to pay for it. If injuries complicate due to inattention, the victim could transfer liability from the defendant to him or herself.
Using our strong reputation for success to pressure the insurance company into settling. This shelters our clients from time wasted and stress piled onto your shoulders.
Devise a strong trial strategy and execute that strategy in court if necessary.

Investigating an 18-Wheeler Accident in San Antonio, TX

Then there’s the matter of evidence. As we said, they go to work gathering evidence immediately. Do most people even know what evidence would be relevant in an 18 wheeler accident case? You need to have someone examine the evidence to see if you have a case. An investigation will allow you to determine who caused your accident and if there is more than one party.

A professional investigation allows accident victims to gather the evidence that they need to prove the defendant’s liability in court. That’s how court cases work best for the plaintiff. Jurors don’t want to be told how to decide. They want to make up their own minds after seeing photographs, hearing 911 call recordings, holding bits of defective tires, seeing improper loading manifests, seeing the driver’s employment and drug test results, and otherwise evaluating evidence that you collect during your investigation. Evidence isn’t a luxury or a bonus; it’s what you’ll need to bring to court if you want to win your case and get compensated for your losses.

Many times, based on initial evidence, it won’t be obvious who was at fault for causing an 18 wheeler wreck. Many individuals on the road, including other drivers and pedestrians, may have played a role in causing a crash and they may be partially liable. In other cases that we’ve seen, the mistake which ultimately leads to an accident occurs behind the scenes as the 18 wheeler is being loaded or maintained. Until we conduct a thorough investigation, there’s no sure way to know who should be named as a defendant in your lawsuit.

We look for the evidence you’ll need to win your case or to make the other party offer you a settlement commensurate with your losses and damages. We are experienced at getting what is needed to convince a jury. Our professionals record measurements, take pictures, talk to witnesses, perform forensic testing, gather police reports, find video surveillance footage, examine the wreckage, and collect evidence in a way that makes everything we gather for your case admissible in court.

Our San Antonio 18 wheeler accident law firm knows how to conduct a strong investigation. They can help determine who caused your injuries and how to get the evidence you’ll need to hold all of the defendants accountable for what they’ve done. It’s standard procedure for us to visit the scene of the accident in nearly every truck accident case that we handle, no matter how far away.

Why Contacting Legal Help ASAP Can be Vital After a Texas Commercial Trucking Accident

We once had a case in which our client was being blamed for causing a collision with an 18 wheeler. The other side argued that our client was at fault for driving without headlamps installed on his vehicle. Our lawyers went to the salvage yard where our client’s car had been towed to see if there was any truth to the defendant’s story. Sure enough, our client’s car was missing its headlamps.

But we believed our client. We weren’t satisfied with what we found. So we went to the salvage yard owner for the yard’s video surveillance footage. The tapes were scheduled to be erased later that day. We got to them just in the nick of time. On the tapes, we saw that the defendant had visited the salvage yard and taken our clients’ headlamps from his car. After that, we had no trouble proving that the defendant had tampered with the evidence and that his defense was a sham.

In this case, if our client had called us even a day later, the tapes which turned out to be so critical to his case would have been destroyed. He would have certainly lost his case and someone would have gotten away with a horrible miscarriage of justice. The bottom line is it’s best to start your investigation as soon as you can. Our lawyers can usually prepare a strong case, even if we aren’t contacted until several months after an accident occurs. However, the strongest cases are usually built when we’re contacted as soon as possible. We recommend that you don’t delay in contacting a lawyer for assistance.
