What kind of lawyer should I hire for my car accident?

Personal injury is the area of law that covers compensation for harms and losses due to negligence. While you may know that you need an injury lawyer, you may not know the value of hiring an injury with trial experience.

When you’re looking to hire a lawyer consider asking the following questions:

  • Do you have trial experience?

  • What are your fees?

More Car Accident FAQs

Minor car crashes don’t always have minor injuries, especially if you were rear-ended. Brushing off a car accident, no matter how small it may seem, is the biggest mistake a person can make. Often, injuries may not appear for several days. It’s important to file a police report, seek medical attention and meet with an attorney as soon as possible.

Our injury attorneys do not charge any upfront fees. It will not cost you a dime to speak to a member of our personal injury legal team.

The most common accident injuries our Killeen attorneys see include the following:

  • Bruises
  • Airbag injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Disfigurement
  • Fractures
  • Abrasions
  • Internal injuries

In severe cases, these types of injuries are immediately apparent. However, unseen injuries may take several days to set in before you realize you were injured. It’s best to get checked immediately after a crash to ensure there is no internal bleeding.

Under Texas law, car crash victims are entitled to compensation under the law. As such, if you suffered any injuries, you should consult with an injury attorney as soon as possible. Car accident settlements are agreements to pay someone who has suffered an injury or harm in a car accident or other personal injury.

In order to reach a settlement, the injured person needs to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit against the at-fault party and their insurance company.

A personal injury lawyer will be able to get full and fair compensation for your injuries. Most defendants in car accident claims are represented by insurance companies.

Their defense is at your expense by devaluing and denying your legal standing and your injuries.

Our Injury Attorneys will work tirelessly to help you recover compensation for damages like:

  • Lost wages
  • Medical bills,
  • Punitive damages
  • Loss of limb
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries

Our Round Rock Car Accident Lawyers have been representing car accident victims for nearly 50 years. We are a team of highly-skilled car accident attorneys capable of handling various auto collision cases. If you’ve been involved in any of the following, contact our team:

Motorcycle

Motorcycle accidents often lead to deadlier accidents when involved with passenger cars. Even with it’s “Share the Road” campaign, the Texas Department of Transportation reports that 493 riders lost their lives and 2,006 were seriously injured in 2016. Nearly half of all fatal motorcycle crashes were caused by a car or truck colliding with it. Drivers may not see or misjudge how close the motorcycle is and the speed it’s traveling.

Pedestrian Accidents

Living in Killeen means seeing the occasional speed through a school zone or swerve around a bus despite stopped lights. Sidewalks and crosswalks should be safe places for Killeen pedestrians to walk and jog. Unfortunately, negligent drivers fail to observe the rights of pedestrians, leading to serious accidents. If you or your school-aged child are the victim of a pedestrian accident, contact one of our skilled Killeen injury lawyers and tell us about your case. We offer free case reviews and will advocate for you every step of the way.

Distracted Driving

Research indicates that it takes 27 seconds for driving to regain a motorist’s full attention after using a cell phone or other device in a vehicle. TxDOT reports that distracted driving accidents account for 100,000 crashes on Texas roads. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recognizes three types of distracted driving.

Speeding

When driving, you rely on other drivers to use reasonable care to avoid collisions. Drivers who speed neglect this responsibility and put themselves and others on the roads in danger. Accidents caused by speeding produce some of the most serious and catastrophic car accident injuries due to the sheer high velocity and impact of these crashes.

Commercial or Company Vehicle Accidents

A commercial or company vehicle is a car, van, truck or bus that is owned and operated by a company to be used by employees or agents of that company. Commercial vehicle accidents occur while employees are doing work-assigned duties, such as, carrying work equipment, hauling goods or transporting passengers. These incidents may also occur during work-related employee transportation.

Rear-End Collisions

A rear-end collision is among the most common types of car crashes that occur on Texas roadways. Rear-end crashes happen when the front bumper of one vehicle strikes the back end of another. Informally called fender benders, these collisions are common where the roads are congested.

Rollover Accidents

If a car is clipped at the right, it can go into a spin and rollover. Rollover and roof crush accidents can happen to any vehicle. However, studies and years of litigation have shown that some vehicles have an unreasonably high tendency to roll over, even under normal driving conditions.

Uninsured/Underinsured (UM/UIM) Motorists

Roughly 14% of Texas drivers are uninsured; however, it’s nearly impossible to put a number on the number of underinsured drivers on Texas roads. These policies allow you and any household family member to ride in any car, as well as any non-family members riding in your insured automobile.

Hit and Run Crashes

Some of the most tragic types of accidents our car accident attorneys handle are accidents involving the driver leaving the scene. Texas laws require individuals to stay at the scene and exchange information until law enforcement and ambulances arrive. For those who are injured in a hit-and-run incident, there is some anxiety surrounding the claims and investigation process, especially when there is difficulty locating the other driving. Fortunately, you still have a chance to take legal action.

Multiple-Vehicle Crashes

While any car wreck can have potentially devastating effects, a multi-vehicle crash tends to be particularly catastrophic. A collision involving three or more cars is a chain reaction collision or pile-up accident. Many times, these types of accidents result in serious injuries for all parties involved. Pile-up accidents raise complex legal issues when determining who is at fault for the wreck and holding them accountable.

Drunk Driving Accidents

It is illegal get behind the wheel of a car with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. Alcohol in your system impairs the ability to safely operate a vehicle. Every year, drunk driving puts nearly 112 million people at risk because of poor decisions and dangerous habits. Drunk driving accidents can be life-altering events for innocent people in Killeen, who, through no fault of their own, are injured or killed by a drunk driver.

Passengers

Riding as a passenger in someone’s car means you trust that they will make good decisions. If you are injured in a crash where you were a passenger in a vehicle, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. In addition to holding the driver of your vehicle accountable, you may also be able to file a claim against the driver of another vehicle if they caused the crash. Our Killeen Car Accident Lawyers will investigate your claim to figure out who may be liable for your injuries.

If you’re hurt in a hit-and-run or the other driver is uninsured, you may still be able to recover for your personal injuries. For example, if you have Uninsured Motorist (UM) or Personal Injury Protection, contact a car accident lawyer to discuss how to proceed with your claim. In addition, The Carlson Law Firm has a successful track record of tracking down hit-and-run offenders and holding them responsible.

When selecting a car accident lawyer, focus on the following:

Courtroom Experience. While most injury cases settle, a small portion of injury cases are so complex that they require an attorney with courtroom experience. Big insurance knows the names of attorneys who are willing to settle your claim and those who are prepared to advocate for you before a judge and jury.

  • Resources. Injury cases require extensive research, expert testimony, and money to handle upfront costs such as filing fees. It’s important to hire an attorney with the connections and a long history of success to ensure your case can be seen all the way through.
  • Focus. Find an attorney who is focused on injury law. At The Carlson Law Firm, our firm is broken up by departments. Our injury lawyers handle injury cases.
  • Reputation. Reviews from previous clients and recommendation from other attorneys are the upmost compliments an attorney can receive. Get an attorney with a reputation for being helpful and responsive.

Car accidents can lead to being out of work for several days, weeks or months. In addition, you may also deal with extensive damage to your vehicle. If you were injured, you may be eligible for compensation for all of the expenses you incurred as a result of someone else’s negligence, such as:

  • Lost wages
  • Medical bills (hospitalizations, medications, physical therapy, medical equipment and more)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Loss of future wages
  • Future medical bills

Police reports can help document the details of a car accident. You will very likely need to relay your story to several parties throughout the process of your injury claim. It’s important that you have documentation so that you don’t forget important details.

If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident in Round Rock, consider doing the following:

  • Stay put: Your first reaction may be to leave and get help or go somewhere safe. Leaving the scene of a crash, especially if there is an injury or death, can bring about serious criminal charges.
  • Assess the damage: The safety of yourself and those around you after a car crash is vital. Make sure you, and those affected by the accident, stay out of harm’s way by moving vehicles off the roadway if you are able and if it is safe to do so. In addition, move away from the shoulder of the road as this is the most dangerous place to be. Taking these acts will prevent additional collisions.
  • Contact the authorities: By calling 9-1-1, you ensure you get the medical care you need as soon as possible.
  • Watch what you say (and sign): Never apologize or sign anything taking responsibility for a wreck until you have consulted an experienced auto accident lawyer.
  • Gather information: It’s important to gather information from other parties involved in a car collision. Make sure to note the names, contact information, and driver’s license number of other drivers, passengers, and even witnesses.
  • Collect evidence: Pictures of your car and the scene of the crash can be an important resource later to prove damages. Make sure you take pictures of the entire scene, including street signs and roadways.
  • Get help from a Round Rock Car Accident Lawyer: Reach out to an attorney who is experienced in this type of matter. Reach out to The Carlson Law Firm at 512-671-7277. We Care. We Can Help.

In addition to car accidents, our lawyers are known for handling complex 18-wheeler accidents and delivery driver crashes.

Yes. Car accidents involving delivery vehicles are extremely complex legal matters that require the skills of trial attorneys. Companies like Amazon, FedEx or UPS have lawyers ready to fight you at every turn. However, our team has gotten million-dollar plus recoveries for our clients hurt through the negligent actions of these companies.
