Proving Fault in a Car Accident
Establishing fault is crucial in all personal injury cases. The at-fault party will be responsible for covering medical expenses related to serious injuries, property damage, and other losses related to the crash.
Establishing Negligence
Your car accident lawyer will review all the available evidence to demonstrate that the other driver or another party was responsible for the accident.
Our injury attorneys will consult the official police report from the crash, the medical narrative report, witness testimony, and any available videos and photos to build a convincing case on your behalf.
Proportionate Responsibility
The state of Texas has a form of modified comparative negligence known as proportionate responsibility. This applies to situations in which both parties may have been partially at fault in a crash.
Essentially, if a motorist seeking damages is found to be less than 50% at fault for a car wreck, they can collect restitution. If the plaintiff is more than 50% at fault, they cannot collect any damages.
Will My Case Go to Trial?
/
In all likelihood, the answer is "no." Our car accident lawyers are able to settle about 85% of car accident cases out of court. This helps our clients receive restitution sooner rather than later and avoids the need for a drawn-out court battle. However, if a trial is the only way to collect what you truly deserve, we won't hesitate to take that route.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
Speeding is one of the most common contributing factors in car accidents in Texas and nationwide. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, speeding was a factor in 7,697 auto accidents in Tarrant County in 2022.
Reckless driving covers a wide range of behaviors, from cutting people off and tailgating to aggressive actions behind the wheel. When combined with speeding, reckless driving increases the chances of a catastrophic collision.
Drinking or using any controlled substances before driving a vehicle can impair a person's reaction times and ability to make sound decisions. Drunk and intoxicated driving is a dangerous decision that can cost people their lives.
Drivers have countless distractions while on the road. While rubbernecking and eating behind the wheel are major hazards, the biggest distraction dangers today involve texting while driving or using a cellphone without a hands-free kit.
Sometimes a car crash is caused by manufacturing defects or design defects rather than driver error. In these cases, an attorney can seek restitution from an automaker or auto parts manufacturer for endangering consumers.
Rain, snow, ice, and high winds can exacerbate an already dangerous driving situation. Similarly, poorly maintained roads, malfunctioning traffic signals, or a lack of signage can make a street or highway deadly.
Even Minor Car Accident Injuries Can Have Long-Term Effects
Whether you're involved in a head-on collision or a minor fender bender, it's important to seek a medical evaluation. A doctor can diagnose life-threatening injuries as well as minor injuries that can have life-changing effects. Prompt medical treatment is essential, regardless of how little pain you are currently experiencing.
Your Injury Tells a Story
When building your case, the Law Firm of Roger "Rocky" Walton, P.C. will obtain a narrative medical report about your injuries. Telling the story about how you were injured in a car and how it affects your life can be a persuasive tool in collecting maximum restitution on a victim's behalf.
Rocky and his team will use every tool at their disposal to convince others of the severity of your injuries and the life-altering impact it has had on you and your loved ones. We’ll fight to recover compensation that will minimize its impact on your well-being in every aspect.
What to Do After a Car Wreck
Save Evidence
Reporting the accident provides crucial documentation. If you took pictures at the scene of the accident, collected witness contact information, or have already received any kind of documentation from a doctor, you need to digitally duplicate all of this information. It's as easy as emailing it to yourself, where it can be protected from damage or theft of your digital devices.
Don't Talk About the Accident
Leave negotiating with insurance companies to us. If the other driver, their insurance company, or anyone else wants to discuss your case with you, don't. Instead, tell them to speak to your attorney. These people are only trying to protect themselves and minimize your claim through tactics such as taking your statements out of context.
Keep Your Medical Appointments
Car accident injuries aren't always immediately apparent. You may feel fine at the moment, but it's imperative that you don't skip any doctor's appointments. The doctor can determine the true extent of your injuries, and their documentation of these injuries is essential to your case.
