Negligence can cause dangerous car accidents

Texas expects every driver on the road to look out for the people around them. This means all drivers are required to have at least the state’s minimum liability insurance. It also requires drivers to take reasonable steps to protect one another from preventable accidents. That responsibility is referred to as a driver’s “duty of care.”

Drivers owe this duty to their peers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, truck drivers, and construction workers. Negligence of any kind can cause drivers to injure these parties in an otherwise avoidable accident.

If you want to take legal action against another party after a car accident, you are obligated to prove that they violated the duty of care owed to you. Doing so allows you to assert your right to loss-based compensation.

We stand ready to protect your rights, prove fault, and collect maximum tax-free payment for your injury claims.

Taking legal action after a car accident

Proving negligence in a car accident case takes time, and, unfortunately, you’re fighting the clock. Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code section 16.003 allows you to take up to two years to investigate your losses if you want to fight for damages in civil court. You’re obligated to move much faster if you want to file an insurance claim for support.

How are you supposed to stay on top of these deadlines while also contending with car accident injuries and other losses? Car accident attorneys in Grand Prairie can help.

When to contact an insurance company

Most insurance companies require you to contact them within 24 hours of your accident if you want to file a claim for support. We recommend that you have an attorney with you when you reach out. If you can get an attorney to the scene of a crash before an insurance claims adjuster arrives, that would be even better.

We know that insurance claims adjusters will try to limit your right to financial support. Some may even obscure evidence relevant to your pursuit of coverage. Our presence can put you one step ahead of an insurance company’s bad-faith tactics, thereby preserving your right to comprehensive financial aid.

What to expect if officers arrest your liable party

The driver responsible for your car accident may have violated local, state, or federal laws. As such, officers who respond to the scene can arrest your liable party. You still have the right to initiate an investigation into a liable party’s civil violations if they get arrested.

Officers may request your testimony as they build a case against your liable party. However, you cannot recommend that the state issue any specific criminal consequences against them.

It’s worth it to stay on top of developments in a relevant criminal case. If Texas’s criminal courts convict your liable party of law-breaking misconduct, you can submit that conviction as proof of negligence when filing your civil claim. A criminal conviction doesn’t guarantee that you’ll win the damages you deserve, but it can make your fight for support simpler.

Evidence helps you recover from a car accident

You can’t bring a car accident claim forward in civil court unless you have evidence of a negligent party’s wrongdoings. The evidence you use to make a case against a negligent driver can include the following:

• Bystander statements
• Expert witness testimony
• Video footage of the crash
• Photos from before and after the crash
• Reduced pay stubs
• Tow truck and repair invoices
• A police report
• Electronic data

Our attorneys oversee the evidence-gathering process for our clients. If you choose to work with our team, you can focus on attending physical therapy, scheduling doctors’ appointments, and going back to work without waiving your right to an investigation. You can count on Cain Firm to keep you up-to-date on our investigative developments.

We stand ready to protect your rights, prove fault, and collect maximum tax-free payment for your injury claims.
