Compensation After a Round Rock Auto Accident

After a car wreck in Round Rock, a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer can help to identify all the possible variables when presented to the liable party’s insurance company. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to pursue compensation for losses such as:

  • Medical bills
  • Household services
  • Loss of relationship
  • Loss of earning capacity and lost wages
  • Future medical treatment
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Vehicle repair or replacement
  • Out-of-pocket expenses
  • Funeral costs 
 

We may be able to pursue these costs by establishing negligence. In other words, our attorneys will help you prove that the party (or parties) involved owed you a duty and then breached that duty which led to your injuries.

Who May Be Liable After a Car Accident in Round Rock?

Liability after a Round Rock car accident depends on the evidence. In many cases, fault may involve another driver, a commercial vehicle operator, an employer, a rideshare driver or another responsible party. A lawyer can help determine what evidence may support your claim.

Texas law requires all motor vehicle drivers to have car insurance—at minimum, liability insurance. The policy limits of an insured driver vary, but no matter the policy limits—insurance companies will work hard to deny or devalue your claim. In general, you have a few different options to recover compensation if you sustain an injury in a crash that wasn’t your fault. These options include the following:

  • Filing a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy
  • Filing a claim with your own insurance company
  • Pursuing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver
 

Under the state’s comparative negligence laws, if you’re found to be partially at fault for your car accident, then your compensation can be reduced by the percentage of fault you’re assigned for the crash. Our car accident lawyers in Round Rock are trial attorneys with courtroom experience if the insurance company offers an unfair settlement.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Round Rock

Many crashes in Round Rock involve preventable driver behavior, including distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, impaired driving and unsafe lane changes. If any of these common causes of car accidents in Round Rock leave you injured, The Carlson Law Firm can help.

Traffic congestion along I-35, SH-45 and other busy roads may also increase the risk of rear-end collisions and multi-vehicle crashes.

We handle all Types of Auto Collisions in Round Rock

We Care. How can we help?

There are so many vehicles on Texas roads, car accidents are an unfortunate everyday hazard for all of us. While some crashes are unavoidable, many are caused by carelessness, inattention or blatant disregard for safety by another driver.

If you’ve been seriously injured in a motor vehicle crash in Round Rock caused by someone else’s disregard for the quality of your life, you may be entitled to compensation. Our compassionate Round Rock Personal Injury Lawyers are available to review the details of your accident and discuss the legal options available to you.

Passenger Vehicle Wrecks

Collisions involving cars, SUVs and pickup trucks may result in injuries, property damage and insurance disputes.

18-wheeler crashes

Crashes involving commercial vehicles may require investigation into the driver, employer, vehicle maintenance and insurance coverage.

Pedestrian Crash

Pedestrians have no protection against large vehicles or motorcycles. Unfortunately, nearly 6,000 pedestrian deaths occur annually in the U.S. Our compassionate legal team can help.

Multiple Vehicle Collision

Multiple vehicle collisions, or pile-ups, involve numerous parties and can be legally complex, often requiring a skilled attorney to sort out liability and damages for all involved.

Single Vehicle wrecks

Many people don't realize that single vehicle wrecks may often be the result of a defective vehicle. If you had a single vehicle wreck and are unsure how the wreck occurred, a lawyer can help.

Car Fires

If a car catches on fire after a collision, you are entitled to more than insurance limits. The Carlson Law Firm is one of the few Round Rock Law Offices with the skills and resources to take on these major claims.

Rideshare Crash

Uber and Lyft accidents may involve multiple insurance policies depending on whether the driver was logged into the app or carrying a passenger.

Drunk Driving Wrecks

Drunk driving accidents are responsible for nearly one-third of all traffic-related deaths. They are preventable tragedies that need strong legal action from an auto accident attorney against the responsible parties.

Bad Weather Wrecks

Drivers should exercise caution in bad weather. Unfortunately, approximately 21% of all vehicle crashes are related to poor weather conditions. Our attorneys are ready to review the facts of the case to get you every penny you deserve.

Delivery Truck Crashes

A motor vehicle crash with delivery trucks, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS and Amazon can have devastating and lasting effects on your life. A Round Rock car accident attorney can help.

Delivery Truck Wrecks

Distracted driving accidents often involve texting, phone use or other activities that take a driver’s attention away from the road.

Motorcycle Wrecks

The Carlson Law Firm has recovered millions for those injured in motorcycle wrecks. Bikers who've been the victim of a passenger or commercial vehicle crash should meet with an attorney immediately following a crash to preserve evidence.

Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Round Rock

Some Round Rock car crashes occur on heavily traveled roads where congestion, merging traffic and sudden stops are common. Drivers should use extra caution on dangerous roads and intersections in Round Rock, like:

  • I-35
  • SH-45
  • University Boulevard
  • Louis Henna Boulevard
  • Gattis School Road

How the Car Accident Claim Process Works

You may often hear injury attorneys claim that they settle many cases. This isn’t necessarily a good thing. While going to court can be intimidating, it can also be the difference in your case that gets you the maximum compensation you deserve. This is in contrast to a lower figure that an attorney with few resources and the need to make a quick buck off your case will settle for.

If your case is being handled right, your claim will take time by moving through the following steps:

During a consultation with our Round Rock legal team, we will collect the necessary information about your case.

Next, we will begin working on your case.

Most cases require a significant amount of work before filing a lawsuit. During this stage, we’ll investigate, preserve evidence, gather medical records, interview witnesses and more. We’ll also try to negotiate a settlement with the defendant.

If we are unable to resolve your case through pre-litigation negotiations, we may file a lawsuit.

Once served, the defendant will have a short period of time to respond to the petition.

Discovery begins once the defendant responds. Each side will exchange information through written questions, requests and depositions. In addition, various motions might be filed and expert witnesses will be designated.

Yes? – Then you’ve reached a resolution. You will receive payment and can truly begin the healing process after an injury.

No? – Well, this is where having an experienced trial lawyer comes in handy. If parties cannot agree, then your Carlson Law Firm injury lawyer will present your case before a judge and jury.

Round Rock’s location along I-35 creates heavy commuter, commercial and local traffic. Crashes on this corridor may involve passenger vehicles, delivery trucks, rideshare drivers or commercial vehicles.
