Personal Injury Claims Require More Than an Insurance Report
Personal injury claims often involve disputed fault, complicated insurance issues and pressure to settle before the full impact of the injuries is known.
Important evidence can disappear quickly. Vehicles are repaired, video is erased, products are discarded, witnesses become harder to locate and electronic data may be overwritten.
Texas Injury, Liability and Insurance Rules May Matter
Texas negligence law, comparative-fault rules, insurance provisions, damage rules and filing deadlines can affect liability and the compensation that may be recovered.
Do Not Assume the Crash Report Tells the Whole Story
Police, incident or workplace reports are useful, but they may not include all witnesses, video, electronic data, maintenance history, company records or later medical findings.
Multiple Parties and Insurance Coverages May Apply
Coverage may come from an at-fault driver, employer, property owner, manufacturer, contractor, commercial policy, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage or another responsible party.
