Beaumont Car Accident Lawyer
Tim D. Wright Has Experience Helping Automobile Accident Victims
Keep in mind that acquiring help from a qualified and experienced automobile accident attorney might be vital. This is especially true after a major injury. If you wait too long in pursuing your claims or fail to fully understand your damages, essential evidence might vanish. You can lose valuable compensation that you need to pay for your recovery. We understand that when you have major injuries, you can not thoroughly and immediately evaluate the source of the accident and also gather information. It is even harder to deal with the insurance providers.
Allow our Beaumont automobile accident lawyers at Tim D. Wright shoulder that burden for you.
What Should I Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident?
- Call the authorities and make a police report. Do not allow the other driver to talk you into skipping this important step. It can lead to issues later.
- Exchange info with the other motorist. Take good photos of the other side's I.D. and insurance information. Some police departments will not make this info publicly available on the police report.
- Take down witness information. Independent witness testimony can be critical to your claim.
- Take photos of the accident scene as well as the damages to your vehicle as well as the other cars.
- Seek medical attention. If you have injuries, go to the emergency room or seek medical care as soon as possible. You might have suffered much more significant injuries than you realized. Further, a long gap between an accident and medical care can make it challenging for your attorney to prove that your injuries are related to the accident.
- Contact our Beaumont auto accident lawyers right away. The sooner you have a lawyer, the sooner they can start defending your legal rights. Additionally, call a lawyer before you speak with any auto insurance provider. They will typically try to take a statement from you, which can be used against you later.
What Damages Can I Have After an Automobile Accident?
- Medical costs, like hospital visits, doctor appointments, physical therapy, ambulance costs, etc.
- Pain and suffering refers to the physical and psychological anguish for which a person can pursue compensation in a lawsuit.
- Lost income from missing work after a serious injury, among the most financially damaging aspects of a car accident.
What Are the Most Typical Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries?
There are a variety of injuries that can result from auto accidents, such as:
- Broken bone injury accidents-- When a fracture is more serious, it can require surgery to repair.
- Back and neck injuries-- These are typically soft tissue injuries that resolve with therapy. However, sometimes accident victims suffer from herniated discs that might need injections or surgery.
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)-- Whether mild (like a concussion) or extreme, TBIs can require years of treatment. They might also lead to brain death, vegetative states, comas, and even death.
- Lacerations-- Sometimes accident victims suffer large cuts that require stitches or staples and often leave disfiguring scars.
- Shoulder injuries, such as a torn rotator cuff or a torn labrum-- These injuries often require surgery.
- Burn injuries-- This can result from fire, but it can also come from airbags. Our office has seen significant scarring from airbag injuries.
- Fatality-- Tragically, hundreds of individuals die every year in Beaumont area auto accidents.
What Variables Affect My Settlement?
Identifying just how much compensation you should expect from your settlement can be hard because the amount depends greatly on the facts of your case. A seasoned Beaumont motor vehicle accident lawyer will determine your economic as well as non-economic damages. They can also help you make the best choice on when to settle or take your case to court.
Your attorney's job is to negotiate with the insurance carriers on your behalf until they acquire a top offer from the insurance provider. If that offer is fair, you settle. Otherwise, your attorney can file a lawsuit.
Variables that impact settlement value consist of:
- The severity of your injuries.
- The available insurance coverage. If the motorist has little to no insurance, it's much more difficult to acquire a high settlement from them. If the motorist has no or minimum insurance, the claim might need to depend on your own uninsured/underinsured driver coverage for compensation.
- Whether liability is clear or contested. As an example, the other party may not contest liability in a rear-end accident yet may in a red-light accident.
- If your accident had more than one responsible party (third-party claims).
- If the at-fault party acted with gross negligence when operating their motor vehicle.
- Your total medical costs and other losses, such as lost income from work.
- Your ability to go back to work.
- The change in your quality of life prior to and after your accident.
- Your out-of-pocket costs.
