What You Should Know About Your Car Accident

There are many things to be aware of if you have recently been injured in a car accident. Here are some of the most important.

• The sooner you hire a car accident lawyer, the stronger your case will be.
• Collecting evidence quickly is very important. Please don't hesitate to contact us as soon as possible after your injury occurs so we can get crucial evidence before it is lost forever.
• Reports from major insurance companies show that claims that are represented by a lawyer usually settle for two to three times more than those that are not.
• Auto insurance companies benefit significantly by making the accident claims process as confusing and difficult as possible for crash victims.
• It is okay to speak to a police officer from the local police department after an auto accident, but you should never speak to an insurance company. When you do speak with police, never admit fault.
• Police reports often contain errors, which can impact a victim's ability to recover compensation. They must be proven admissible in court, and it is common for a judge to block a police report from being presented in court for this reason.
• Your lawyer can often assist you in finding a qualified medical specialist who can treat your injuries immediately with a promise to be paid for services once your case settles.
• You should never let a lack of health insurance prevent you from seeking medical care for your injuries following a car wreck.
• It may still be possible to collect damages if the other driver is uninsured.
• If an insurance company thinks a jury will not make them pay for an accident, they will do everything in their power to pay as little as possible for any claims against them.

Our Texas car wreck attorneys at Rasansky Law Firm can get started on your case immediately. Our skilled and fearless lawyers can help you achieve a favorable outcome for your car accident case.

Types of Auto Accident Claims

There are numerous types of car accidents that we see impacting drivers throughout Texas daily. Accidents can happen for various reasons and in different locations throughout the state. Generally, the point of impact where two cars meet often determines the type of collision in which a person is involved. Some types of car accidents impacting the lives of Texans include, but are not limited to:

• Head-On Collisions: Head-on collisions occur when two vehicles collide front-to-front. These accidents account for the majority of fatal accidents across our state and result in some of the most severe injuries for victims.
• Rear-End Crashes: These accidents occur when the front end of one vehicle collides with the rear end of a second vehicle. Many rear-end accidents are a result of distracted driving. Nearly 1.7 million rear-end collisions take place throughout the country each year.
• T-Bone Accidents: A side-impact collision, commonly referred to as a T-bone crash, occurs when the front end of one vehicle crashes into the side of a second vehicle. These accidents routinely occur in intersections and areas where one driver enters a second vehicle's path. They are particularly dangerous for victims on the side of the vehicle's impact.
• Sideswipe Accidents: Sideswipes occur when two parallel vehicles collide in a side-to-side impact. Sideswipes often happen when one or both drivers fail to maintain their lanes. Drivers swerving and drifting into other lanes can cause these accidents. Sideswipe accidents are highly likely to result in a rollover collision for one or both vehicles involved.
• Chain Reaction Crashes: When three or more vehicles collide along the road, they are involved in what is known as a chain reaction collision. These accidents often occur in construction zones, near other accidents, and situations involving distracted drivers. In some cases, vehicles crash into others at high rates of speed, causing the second vehicle to bounce off and strike others sharing the road.
• Single-Vehicle Accidents: Although many drivers worry about how the drivers of other vehicles act on the road, most accidents every day are single-vehicle collisions. Nearly 50% of all fatal accidents across the country involve only one vehicle. In some instances, single-vehicle accidents are caused by defective parts. Victims involved in single-vehicle accidents may have some legal options available to them.

Common Causes of Car Collisions in Texas

In Texas, there are various reasons why car accidents occur. Driver errors cause the majority of accidents across our state. Some leading causes of auto collisions our team helps victims recover from include those caused by:

• Speeding Drivers: Drivers who do not maintain a safe speed are likely to lose control of their vehicles. In many instances, speeding drivers cannot stop in time to avoid bicyclists, other vehicles at intersections, pedestrians, and objects on the road. As a result, they are at an increased risk of being injured in a collision. Furthermore, speeding drivers are likely to roll over on curved roads. Accidents involving speeding drivers are likely to end with life-threatening injuries.
• Distracted Drivers: There are several laws in place to prevent drivers from texting and talking on cell phones, yet we continue to see distracted drivers cause collisions at an alarming rate. Using cell phones, eating, reaching for items in the backseat, and engaging in other distracting behaviors can lead to severe collisions.
• Impaired Drivers: Although the number of impaired driving arrests has declined by nearly 33% over the past ten years in our state, we continue to see drunk drivers cause life-altering accidents at an alarming rate. In Texas, more than 1,000 people lose their lives in drunk driving accidents yearly, while thousands more are left with catastrophic injuries.
• Drivers Who are Fatigued: Entering roadways while fatigued decreases a driver's ability to react to objects and other vehicles on the road. Driving drowsy is comparable to the impacts of driving impaired. There are instances where drivers fall asleep behind the wheel and cause devastating collisions that impact their lives and the lives of others indefinitely.
• Unfamiliar Roadways: Not being familiar with roads, traffic control devices, and other differences in areas can impact a driver's ability to maintain control of their vehicle. Slamming on brakes, changing lanes without looking, and traveling the wrong way down roads are common causes of accidents in Texas.
• Defective and Malfunctioning Parts: Numerous collisions are caused by defective and malfunctioning parts. When vehicles do not function as they are intended, they can dramatically impact a driver's ability to maintain control over their car. Accelerators that jam, brakes that do not work, and tire blowouts can lead to severe injuries.
• Inadequate Maintenance: Drivers must remain proactive with inspecting and maintaining their vehicles. Many accidents are caused by drivers who fail to rotate or replace their tires, change their brakes and rotors, or fail to maintain the mechanical controls on vehicles.

If you sustained injuries in an accident in Texas, contact Rasansky Law Firm as soon as possible to see how we can help.

Damages For Which You May Recover Compensation 

Our dedicated personal injury attorney at Rasansky Law Firm can help you seek the maximum compensation possible for all the damages and losses you have endured due to your accident. Some of the most common damages that we help our clients recover for with a personal injury claim include:

• Lost wages: To recover lost wages, you must show that the accident caused you to miss work and that you have lost income.
• Medical expenses: In most cases, victims must seek medical treatment immediately after their accidents. If you have incurred medical expenses, you must show that the expenses were reasonable and necessary. This can include medical bills for surgery, hospitalization, or medication. Showing bills and medical records can help prove the medical expenses you have incurred from your crash.
• Long-term medical treatment costs: If you are still receiving treatment at the time of settlement or trial, it can be challenging to determine how much your treatment will cost. In these cases, it is often best to work with a medical expert who can testify to the expected cost of your future treatment.
• Vehicle repair expenses: If your vehicle was damaged due to a car wreck, you might be able to recover compensation to repair your vehicle or replace it from the insurance company, depending on the extent of the damage.
• Pain and suffering: If you have suffered a personal injury as a result of your car accident, you may be able to recover damages for your pain and suffering. This damage is usually compensated based on the severity of injuries that you have suffered and how they impact your life.
• Loss of quality of life: It is no secret that being involved in a car accident can be a traumatic experience. Not only can it be physically and emotionally draining, but it can also have an overwhelming impact on your quality of life. If you cannot work or participate in activities that you once enjoyed due to your injuries, you may be able to recover compensation for these damages.
• Lost earning capacity: To recover compensation for your lost earning capacity, you must provide evidence of your pre-accident earnings and how your injuries have impacted your earnings. This may include pay stubs, tax returns, financial records, and expert testimony. Our dedicated car accident lawyer can help you gather the necessary evidence and build a strong claim.

Our Texas car accident attorneys at Rasansky Law Firm are here to help you get back on your feet after a motor vehicle accident. We will do everything to help you receive fair compensation for your car accident case. Schedule a free case evaluation with our team as soon as possible to get started on your case.

Recovering for the Loss of Consortium

Loss of consortium is essentially the loss of companionship, love, and affection you would have otherwise enjoyed if not for the injuries you incurred as a result of the accident.

Loss of consortium claims are typically brought by spouses of car accident victims but can also be brought by children or parents in some cases. To recover damages, you must prove that the accident caused a significant change in your relationship with the claimant.

Compensation for the loss of consortium can help alleviate the financial burden caused by the accident and provide some measure of justice for the emotional harm suffered. If you think you may have a car accident claim, you should speak with our Dallas car accident lawyers at Rasansky Law Firm as soon as possible to discuss your options.

• Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Claims: Personal injury protection is no-fault insurance coverage required by law in Texas. Drivers must have at least $2500 in PIP protection here in our state. It can help pay your medical bills and other financial losses after an accident, regardless of who was at fault.
