How D. Miller & Associates Wins Car Accident Cases
What people injured in car accidents really need is results. Here are a few of the reasons we have achieved so many outstanding verdicts and settlements for people injured in auto crashes throughout Texas.
Rapid Evidence Preservation
Our quick-response capabilities allow us to send investigators to the scene of an accident on short notice, gathering crucial evidence that can be used to demonstrate fault and build a successful car accident injury claim. The sooner critical details are preserved, the better positioned we are to tell the full story of what happened.
Thorough Investigation
A strong car accident claim requires a full understanding of every detail. We will carefully examine the circumstances leading up to the crash, analyze evidence, and identify the factors that contributed to your injuries. By uncovering the facts behind the accident, we can build a clear and compelling case that puts the insurance company on the defensive.
Coordination With Experts
Expert analysis can give a car accident claim added credibility with insurance companies and juries alike. We work with qualified experts who can help reconstruct crashes, evaluate injuries, and explain how the accident has impacted your life. These insights allow us to present a stronger case backed by evidence and professional analysis.
Statewide Travel Capability
No matter where in Texas you were injured, we quickly come to you, investigate the scene, and start building a strong case on your behalf. From crashes on I-35 in Central Texas to collisions along I-10 near the Gulf Coast or I-40 in the Panhandle, our team is prepared to help accident victims across the state.
Litigation Readiness
Our philosophy is simple: Prepare every case as if it is going to trial and operate from a stronger position at the negotiating table. When an insurance company understands you are prepared to go to trial, it tells them they better play fair or be in for a legal battle.
What You Need to Know About Texas Car Accident Claims
Personal injury claims, including car accident cases, are governed by state laws. Our lawyers possess a deep understanding of the statutes and case law pertaining to car accident claims in Texas, including:
Damages
Compensation in a Texas car accident claim is designed to restore the victim to the position they were in before the accident, as much as possible. Damages may include:
- Medical expenses, including current and future treatment costs
- Lost wages or diminished ability to work
- Property damage and vehicle repair or replacement costs
- Pain and suffering
- Physical impairment or disfigurement
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Other losses related to the accident and resulting injuries
A knowledgeable Texas car accident lawyer at our firm will work with you personally to gain an understanding of how this event has changed your life and the compensation you need to move on. We are committed to helping you obtain the financial resources you need to cover your medical bills and rebuild your life after negligence has robbed you of so much.
Comparative Negligence
Was the accident that caused your injury partly your own fault? Even if it was, you may still be entitled to significant compensation.
Under Texas’s modified comparative fault system, victims of negligence are entitled to compensation for the damages they have suffered, even if they are partly to blame, as long as their degree of fault does not rise above 50%.
Under this rule, your compensation will be reduced by the same percentage of fault you contributed to the accident. For example, if your damages total $100,000 and you were 10% to blame for the accident, your compensation would be reduced by $10,000 to $90,000 (the full amount minus 10%).
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Dealing with insurance after a car accident can be a frustrating process, especially if the driver who injured you had little or no insurance coverage. If this is the case in your car accident claim, you have other options at your disposal:
- If the driver who injured you had no insurance at all, you may pursue compensation from the uninsured motorist (UM) coverage in your own auto policy.
- If the driver had insurance but the limits were too low to cover your damages, the coverage from your underinsured motorist (UIM) policy can bridge the gap.
Whether from your own insurance policy or the other driver’s, an experienced car accident lawyer in Texas can help you pursue the benefits you need to pay your bills and rebuild your life after suffering this serious injury
