Auto Accident Law
Accident Attorney in Austin, TX
Each year 2.35 million Americans are injured or disabled following a car accident. Most accidents are due to reckless behavior on the part of the driver. Using a cell phone or other device while driving, texting, speeding, running a red light, making an illegal turn, and drunk driving are a few behaviors contributing to injurious and deadly crashes. Suffering an injury or a death of a loved one in a car accident may be grounds for a claim against the driver responsible. It is a daunting process to recover damages and ensure proper compensation for medical costs, pain and suffering, loss of earnings, property damage and future medical costs. Working with an experienced attorney is the best option to ensure all losses are uncovered, all options are understood, and all appropriate damages are recovered. At the Law Office Of Ramiro Lopez PLLC, we are skilled automobile accident attorneys and have years of experience working with all types of vehicular accidents and their resulting injuries. It is our job to help our clients so they do not suffer the consequences of another’s negligence. As your local Austin Law Firm, we are prepared to help you with car accidents of all types.
What to Do After a Vehicular Accident:
If at all possible, be proactive after an accident in order to strengthen your claim. Because some injuries take days or weeks to fully manifest (think of the soreness you feel the day after repeating a repetitious movement – such as how you feel the day after performing some unaccustomed type of physical labor or a new workout). Never assume because you feel “fine” after an accident it will remain that way. Protect yourself by:
- Seek medical attention.
- If you are able, help others at the scene of the accident.
- Wait until the formal investigation to surmise what happened. Never accept blame at the scene. Shaken by the accident, you may not be thinking clearly.
- Notify your insurance provider. Do not provide details until after you have calmed down and are ready to talk to an investigator with an attorney by your side.
- If possible, take pictures. Photos of your vehicle, physical injuries to your person and those of your loved ones, and the environment surrounding the accident are helpful to the investigation.
- If possible and you do not need to be taken to the hospital, stay at the site of the accident until the police and other drivers involved leave.
- Obtain information. Ask for witnesses to provide their contact information, record police information, and keep all medical records, property damage records, and hospital records associated with the accident.
Accident cases often hinge on seemingly minor details. Often recorded evidence helps to prove a case to the insurer. But if recording evidence at the scene is not possible, the attorneys at the Law Office Of Ramiro Lopez PLLC will do everything they can to collect the necessary evidence to pursue your claim. Call the office today.
Consult an attorney after an accident as soon as you can. An attorney can help you determine if you have a case and start working quickly to preserve the evidence and your rights as an injury victim. The aftereffects of a car accident are often overwhelming. Injured parties are responsible for filing insurance paperwork, juggling medical bills, facing hospital liens, and suffering a loss of income, all while trying to recover.
