Our firm handles all types of serious injury cases. Learn more about our overall approach and the experience that guides us.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Texas

To get you the compensation you deserve, we must prove the other driver was careless, or “negligent.” We have deep experience investigating and proving fault in crashes caused by:

  • Distracted Driving: A driver who was texting, using a GPS, or not paying attention.
  • Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for road conditions.
  • Drunk Driving (DWI): A driver who was impaired by alcohol or drugs.
  • Running Red Lights & Stop Signs: Ignoring traffic signals at intersections.
  • Aggressive Driving: Tailgating, unsafe lane changes, or road rage.

If your accident involved a large 18-wheeler, the case is much more complex.

How We Prove the Other Driver Was at Fault

A successful car accident claim is built on strong evidence. We give you peace of mind by handling every step of the investigation. Our team will:

  • Gather the official police report and all medical records.
  • Interview witnesses who saw the crash happen.
  • Analyze photos and videos from the scene.
  • Hire accident reconstruction experts when needed to prove exactly what happened.

Dealing with the Insurance Company After a Crash

The other driver’s insurance adjuster is not your friend. Their job is to protect their company’s profits by paying you as little as possible. They might ask for a recorded statement to use your words against you, or offer a quick, low settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries. Do not sign anything or agree to a statement without talking to us first. We will take over all communication and negotiate forcefully for a settlement that covers your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Warning: Should I give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance?

But what happens if the at-fault driver has no insurance at all? Learn about your options in our guide to uninsured driver accidents.
