Fort Worth Attorneys Fight for Your Rights & Benefits
A serious personal injury changes your life forever. You may never recover the quality of life – physically, mentally or emotionally – that you had prior to the accident. Nothing can make you completely “whole” after such an event, but with good legal representation, you may receive a monetary award from the person or entity responsible for the accident.
An experienced personal injury lawyer in Fort Worth, Texas aggressively fights for your rights to receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries. While most cases are settled, we will go to court when necessary.
What to Do After a Car Accident
Seek medical attention after any motor vehicle or other serious accident. Often, you have no choice, as the injury is so severe that a trip to the emergency room or trauma center via 
ambulance or even helicopter is the only way to save your life.
There are situations where you may not think you were badly hurt in a car accident, but symptoms do not appear for a day or two. That is true with whiplash, and often with concussions. A person may think they are fine but friends or loved ones notice behavioral and other changes. Without prompt medical attention, an insurance company may deny that the accident had anything to do with your condition.
If possible, take videos or photos of the accident scene. While important in all types of accidents, such evidence is crucial in slip and fall incidents, where weather may play a part. Owners have legal responsibility for maintaining properties in safe conditions. While it is difficult for an accident victim to collect such evidence, ask a friend or relative to do this for you.
Dealing with Insurance Companies
If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident in which the other driver was clearly at fault, you will likely hear from that individual’s insurance company shortly. Do not agree to any type of settlement before consulting an attorney. As much as you may want to get on with your life, the truth is that insurance companies do their best to pay the absolute minimum.
Once you agree to a settlement, it is done, and you cannot go back for more money if you find your injuries are more extensive or your recovery takes longer than you initially thought. A personal injury attorney knows the fair amount of compensation for the type of injury you suffered and can negotiate accordingly.
