Car accidents have become almost a staple on Texas roads. Even though car accidents occur daily, many people feel they will not be the next severe car accident victims. It does not matter what safety precautions you take. Any negligent act by another driver can take away the sense of security you had in an instant.

Not only can a negligent driver take away your sense of security, but the driver can leave you with lingering injuries and financial instability. Any injury from an accident can result in time missed from work, and when you combine this with the rising costs of health care, you could quickly find yourself in a massive hole.

What Types of Negligence Leads to Car Accidents?

Negligence can come in various forms, and new acts seem to be added to the list every year. Alcohol or drunk driving is one of the leading forms of negligence that leads to car accidents. Driver distractions are also a common factor. These distractions include various influences, such as the following:

• Cell phone or other mobile devices: Using a cell phone while driving creates significant potential for yearly injuries and deaths on Texas roadways.
• Passengers: Passengers can unintentionally cause distractions, from a rowdy group of friends to crying children; drivers can quickly become distracted by other people in the vehicle.
• Eating and drinking: Eating and drinking in your car may not seem like a big deal, but it can lead to severe problems on the road if it causes you to take your eyes off the road. Simply reaching for a couple of French fries or your favorite drink can lead to life-altering injuries.
• Following to Closely
• Failure to Yield Right of Way
• Disregarding a Traffic Signal
• Speeding

Regardless of the reason for lack of attention, taking your eyes off the road for a split second can lead to a car accident. Unfortunately, others on the road will likely pay the price for the negligent acts.

Additional Factors

While driver distractions are at the top of the list of causes of car accidents, they are not always the main factor. Sometimes, cars and other vehicles will malfunction, leaving a driver helpless and confused about what to do. Many things can go wrong while driving a vehicle. In cases where the car malfunctions by unexpectedly shutting off or when there is brake failure, the at-fault parties can include multiple people in the supply chain, including the following:

• Car manufacturers
• The driver
• Parts manufacturers

Our car accident lawyers will take time to investigate every aspect of your case to determine who should be responsible for the accident.

What Can Happen After a Car Accident?

The most important thing to know is that anyone involved in a car accident should seek medical attention. The impact of some injuries is not felt immediately. Also, all the feelings and adrenaline you experience after a car accident can overshadow some of the injuries you may have suffered.

If possible, you will want to obtain contact information from anyone who witnessed the car accident. One or more witnesses can be critical contributors to your quest to seek financial compensation. Once you are physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared, a car accident lawyer will take on the burden of helping you prove that someone else was responsible for the accident and the damages.

Multiple steps will be taken to build a solid case for you, such as:

• Talking to you about the accident
• Talking to witnesses about the accident
• Contacting your medical doctors and obtaining copies of your medical records and medical bills
• Investigating the accident to determine who is the at-fault party
• Establishing the total cost of your damages and obtaining evidence to support the cost of damages

After collecting all the relevant information, we will seek compensation from the responsible parties. There is a possibility your case could be settled out of court if a reasonable offer is made. If a reasonable offer is not made and your case cannot be settled out of court, taking your case to trial will be the next step. Our team will not stop until we recover damages on your behalf.

What Sets Us Apart?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for handling car accident cases. You must choose a lawyer with the experience necessary to take your car accident case. There will be many factors that will make up each accident. Some of the car accidents we have encountered are because of the following:

• Bus accidents

• Rear-end crashes
• Negligent hiring

These are only a few ways you can be involved in an accident.
