Automobile Accidents

Dallas Car Accident Attorney | Accident Injury Lawyer Dallas

When they occur, car accidents can cause severe and life-threatening injuries. Such injuries often result in significant financial impact on the individuals involved and their loved ones. Fortunately, the law provides an injured individual with the right to recover money damages from the responsible party.  Such damages include lost wages, medical expenses, funeral expenses and other economic losses.  Victims are also entitled to recover for the pain and suffering caused by their injuries and corresponding treatment.  Although a monetary recovery can never repair the damage done to the individual and their loved ones, it can ease the financial burdens created by the car accident.

Dallas auto accident attorney Chad West understands that the priorities following a traumatic car accident are to get your medical bills covered, make sure you do not suffer from lost wages, and make sure all future medical treatments relating to your injury are covered by the insurance company.  Dallas car accident lawyer Chad West will discuss your personal injury claim with you and go over your options, as well as work with insurance companies and other parties involved to ensure that all of your personal and legal needs are met quickly and with precision.

To obtain compensation for vehicle accident damages, victims of car accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, etc., need to make sure they put together the appropriate evidence and document all injuries sustained as a result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing.  If you or someone you know has been involved in a vehicle accident and would like to discuss your personal injury claim, please contact Dallas auto accident lawyer Chad West, today, for a free consultation.

The insurance company for the other driver will probably start an investigation immediately.  It is the insurance company’s goal to try to limit the recovery of the injured person to the lowest amount possible.  And insurance companies have elaborate procedures for handling auto claims, especially in the early stages of your discussions with them.  During this time, the insurance company will take recorded statements from the people involved, take photographs, examine the vehicles, order the police report, and try to establish the extent of the injuries.  The insurance company will usually finish these tasks within one week after the auto collision, and many of them will do it within the first 24 to 48 hours.

Since insurance companies have vast experience in evaluating claims and will seek to obtain the lowest settlement possible, it is essential for you to engage a law firm with considerable experience dealing with insurance companies. It is best to retain a firm that regularly handles personal injury claims so that a lawsuit can be filed if the insurance company is unwilling to settle your claim for a fair value.

If we agree to handle your case, we will typically work on a contingent fee basis, which means we get paid for our time and effort only if there is a monetary recovery.  In most cases, a lawsuit must be filed within a certain amount of time from the date of the accident.  If you intend to pursue a claim, you should contact an attorney immediately to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
