What to Do in a Car Accident

Attorneys Helping You Understand Your Role In and After a Car Accident

Car accidents are a common occurrence in today’s world. Cell phones, CD players, eating while driving and other distractions make it such that accidents are unavoidable. This is why it is very important that everyone know what to do in a car accident.

Our attorneys have more than 20 years of combined experience providing car accident advice to individuals throughout Texas. If you or someone you know has been injured in a car accident. Let us provide you with the answers you need so you know how you should proceed.

What You Should Do at the Scene of a Car Accident

The best piece of advice we can give you if you are involved in a car accident is to seek medical treatment immediately. After you have exchanged basic information with the other driver and the police have been to the scene, accept any offered transportation to the emergency room. Explain any beginnings of pain to the doctor.

Getting medical care quickly and consistently avoids insurance disputes later on in the process, as insurance companies love to deny claims based on gaps in treatment or someone not getting immediate care.

The Steps You Should Take After Being Involved in a Car Accident

First and foremost, you should continue to receive medical care until your doctor tells you to stop. Do not allow any gaps in treatment to occur. You should then seek answers to any questions you may have. Our lawyers are able to look at and analyze your situation to answer the following questions:

  • Is my claim worth pursuing?
  • Is it necessary to get an attorney?
  • What does the process of pursuing a car accident claim look like?

Texas Social Security Disability Claims and SSI Attorney

At our law office, we assist people in Texas with their Social Security Disability and their Supplement Security Income claims. Whether you are just starting to file or you have been denied claims and denied benefits, we will fight for you.

Texas Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Claims Lawyer

The Supplemental Security Income system is slightly different than that of the Social Security Disability system. SSI is a federal program that is not funded by Social Security taxes, but by general tax revenues. It provides assistance to individuals who are blind, disabled or have lower incomes in order to allow them to meet their needs for clothing, food and shelter.

If you have questions regarding SSI and how to apply, or you have had your SSI claim denied, we can help. Our attorneys will aggressively pursue your right in court to see to it that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Claims

Social Security Disability is paid through Social Security taxes and is meant to assist those individuals who have become disabled at work. In order to be eligible for this program, one must meet certain age and duration of work requirements. These requirements can be complex and confusing, making it critical to consult with a knowledgeable attorney prior to filing.

Our legal team will work side by side with you throughout your entire case. You will speak with the attorney handling your claim immediately, not a paralegal or legal assistant. We care about our clients and fight to see that they get the money they deserve.

Pedestrian Accidents – Texas Lawyers

Representing Pedestrians and Cyclists in Texas

Were you hit by a car or injured in a bicycle accident? Are you suffering from severe injuries and facing expensive medical bills? Then you need to seek the assistance of an aggressive advocate who can help you recover what you need to move forward in life.

Our personal injury attorneys work to obtain maximum compensation for individuals injured in pedestrian accidents. We pay close attention to detail and provide thorough advice on the options available to you. Moreover, we ensure that we handle all legal and insurance aspects so you can focus on your recovery.

Everyone Has a Duty To Share the Road

Whether you are a pedestrian, a cyclist or a driver, you are required to follow certain rules of the road to help protect yourself and others. For instance, drivers have the duty to be vigilant in keeping an eye out for pedestrians, while pedestrians have a duty with regard to where they are walking and where they are crossing the street. It is therefore highly important that all details of the car accident are documented thoroughly as soon as possible after the accident occurs.

Dedicated Attorneys Thoroughly Investigating Pedestrian Accidents

Our lawyers will work diligently to obtain answers to the following questions:

  • Did the motorist exercise due care?
  • Was the pedestrian in a place that he or she had a legal right to be?

These questions require intensive fact-based research, including speaking to witnesses, reading police reports and pulling in any accident re-constructionists.

We will not only look at the facts, but we will also analyze every possible argument put forth by the opposing party, including the argument of contributory negligence. If you were injured in a hit-and-run accident, we will seek compensation from your own car insurance under an uninsured motorist claim.

Workers’ Compensation & On The Job Injuries

Texas Workers Compensation Attorneys

If you have been injured on the job, you have options for recovering damages. Unlike a traditional personal injury suit where you have to prove negligence in order to recover, in a worker’s compensation claim, you only have to prove that you were injured in a work-related accident.

If you have been injured in a workplace accident in Texas and want to speak with an attorney to learn more about your rights, contact an attorney at our firm. We are based in Huntsville and represent people throughout Texas in workers’ compensation claims. We can help with initial applications and if you have been denied benefits, we can handle your workers’ compensation appeal.

Your Employer May Not Retaliate Against You

Sometimes, employees worry that their employer may get upset and retaliate against them if they file for workers’ compensation benefits. It is important to understand that a workers’ compensation claim is a statutorily protected right, and it not the same as a personal injury lawsuit.

Workers’ compensation claims are similar to insurance claims. You are not saying that your employer was negligent, necessarily. Rather, you are simply saying that you have a work-related injury and need financial assistance. Texas state law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who file a valid work comp claim.

We Handle All Injuries

Our attorneys have handled hundreds of work comp claims and appeals. We can help if you have been injured as a result of a job site injury, fall, vehicle accident, machine injury or tool/equipment injury, lifting injury, construction site accident, falling object, fire, explosion or any other type of workplace injury.

We handle a wide variety of worker’s compensation claims, including those involving injuries to the spine, neck, back (including herniated or compressed discs), shoulder, lower back, knee, head, legs, wrists, shoulders, fingers (particularly crush injuries and amputations) and feet. We also represent clients who have lost a family member in a fatal work injury.
