  • Drunk driving
  • Driver inattention

  • Defective or dangerously designed automotive parts

Car accident victims may suffer serious injuries that incur significant medical bills for months or even years after the accident occurred. Too often, auto accident victims assume that an insurance company will completely cover their medical bills, and this simply isn't true. The goal of insurance companies is to minimize the amount of money paid out in damages, and they will not hesitate to offer an amount less than the compensation you deserve and need.

Insurance company representatives often try to convince auto accident victims to sign releases that prevent future legal action. If you have been hurt in a car accident, you should protect your rights by consulting a car accident attorney before signing any insurance company document.

In order to prove that another driver was responsible for your car accident and should pay you damages, you must be able to prove negligence. In Texas, negligence is established by demonstrating, among other things, that the other driver failed in the duty of "proper lookout." Proper lookout requires all Texas drivers to pay close attention to the road and other motorists.

If you were hurt in a car accident, motorcycle accident or truck accident in Texas, you will need experienced legal representation to secure the maximum compensation for your injuries. An attorney familiar with Texas car accident cases can consult medical experts to provide informed opinions on your injuries and medical future. This information is essential to develop an effective legal strategy designed with your best interests in mind.

If you need help with a personal injury or car accident claim, it is important to have expert legal help. Please call the car accident lawyers of Heard & Smith today toll free at (800) 584-3700, or contact us via our online form.
