The short answer is no. Insurance companies are in the business of making money, so they always put their best interests first. They may minimize your injuries and offer you a lowball settlement that doesn’t come close to covering your damage. They do this to protect their profits.
It’s best to let a Houston car accident lawyer from TopDog’s legal network handle all communications with the insurance companies. A lawyer knows their tactics and won’t allow them to take advantage of you. Your attorney will work to protect your rights and ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.
In most personal injury cases, including car accidents, the plaintiff must establish that the defendant was negligent. Negligence is the failure to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person.
To have a successful car accident case, we must prove four elements were at play in your car crash:
Duty: The defendant owed you a duty of care (e.g., to follow traffic laws and drive safely).
Breach: The defendant breached that duty (e.g., by running a red light or driving while intoxicated).
Causation: The defendant’s breach was the direct and proximate cause of your injuries.
Damages: You suffered actual damages (e.g., medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering).
While car accidents can happen for various reasons, some of the most common causes in and around Houston include:
Car accidents can result in a wide range of harm, from minor cuts and bruises to catastrophic, life-altering injuries.
Some of the most common injuries Houston personal injury lawyers see include:
While the negligent driver is often the primary party held liable in a car accident case, there may be other parties who share responsibility, including:
When you’ve been injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to various damages or compensation for your losses. Damages fall into two categories:
In cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct, the court may award punitive damages to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior.
Yes, there is a statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit in Houston. In Texas, you generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you fail to file within this time frame, the law will likely bar you from seeking compensation altogether.
Given this strict deadline and the existence of some exceptions to it, contact TopDog to get connected to a Houston car accident lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. The attorneys in our network will take all the necessary steps to protect your rights and meet the filing deadline.
