Why do you need a lawyer for your auto accident?

Prime time TV has made millions of dollars based on reality shows, or supposedly reality shows like The Practice, Law and Order, Boston Legal and many more. TV stations also bombard us with more reality shows in the form of Judge Judy, The People’s Court, Judge Mathis and many more. This has created a phenomena that I like to call “TV lawyer syndrom.” In essence, people are lead to believe that they too can take care of their legal matters.

Our San Antonio Lawyers have seen an increase of the so called “TV lawyers” based on the fact that most people now know the law (since they have watched it on TV). In the are of Auto Accidents, there is no exceptions. Unfortunately, insurance companies have taken advantage of this situation. In Texas, now with the passing of new laws, the injured is at risk of losing it even more!

When you are a victim of an auto accident, please, contact a lawyer. We have seen an increase of case where the liability was clear, yet the client decided to do it for him/her self, two years later, the insurance companies have an affirmative defense of “statute of limitations” since the injured person did not file a complaint on time. Insurance wins.

What you see on TV from insurance companies that “you are in good hands” and that “we are always there,” are only sales pitches from the insurance industry. They are not there to protect you, they are there to protect their bottom line, not yours. Insurance companies have at their disposal, thousands of lawyers to handle their cases. Why not you?

Our Law Firm has handle thousands of auto accident cases in San Antonio successfully. Our injury lawyers and attorneys can help you get what you deserve.

We have created a simple way to help yo during and accident. Just visit the Android Market Place or the iTune Store and download our FREE Auto Accident Application. You will be glad that you did. Because, its better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!!!

What to do when you have an accident

Many people are not aware of what to do when they have an accident. Fortunately, many of you will never have to do deal with this situation; however, if you do, then you should know what to do. When a person causes an accident or when the person is not responsible for the accident, the actions taken at the scene should be the same.

First, check to see if any one is injured. If a person is injured, call an ambulance. This is important because a life could be at risk, and the prompt actions of person could be the difference between life and death. Next, make sure there is no more potential for further accidents. If the scene is unsafe, call the police and wait for their instructions. If the scene is safe, then exchange insurance information.

Next, gather names and phone numbers of witnesses. Many people forget this step and that is the difference on the determination of liability. If possible, take pictures of the accident. This could help you later on in the case.

Finally, call your insurance company and take directions from them.

NEVER admit to any liability at the scene. This is when many people go wrong. It is not the job of the people involved in the accident to determine liability, that is the job for the insurance adjuster.

We represent the injured person all the way to trial

In Texas, health care liability claims, and in most personal injury claims, medical expenses related to the care and treatment of an injured person often constitute a significant portion of the damages that might be recovered at trial. Recoverable medical expenses were addressed in the 2003 tort reform legislation. The new statute, Section 41.0105 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, changes the way in which courts and juries are to evaluate this element of damages.

Since the change of the legislation of paid v. incurred, insurance companies have been paying less money for personal injury claims. This is so because the new legislation allows them to only paid on what was "actually paid" on behalf of an insured not what was "incurred" during an accident.

But what does that mean? It means that if two people have the same accident, but one has insurance and the other one does not, the person without insurance will have a greater chance to recover more money than the person that does. What? So, in Texas, if you do the right thing and have insurance, you are been penalized? Exactly.

Our lawyers have been faced with this dilemma for our clients for a while now. We have opted to take those cases that leave our clients without funds in their pockets to trial. In that way, the juries have the potential to hear what was incurred on behalf of the client.

For decades, the collateral source rule would bar insurance companies from bringing forth what was actually paid, now because of this legislation, the insurance companies that are supposed to paid the injured person are the one's benefiting from this law. Until the law is changed, our San Antonio lawyers will be fighting in court for the rights of our injured clients.

Had an auto accident, come see us

Many people believe that handling their own personal injury case is simple. The problem stands from the fact that, insurance companies have their legal team ready for battle. That means that you, without your own team, have no chance of beating them.

Insurance companies have been dealing with personal injury cases longer than most of us been alive. From the adjusters, their whole world revolves around giving you, the injured person, the minimal amount for your injuries. If need be, insurance companies have a group of experts that will testify against your case in Court.

Because of these facts, you need to be ready to have a legal team of your own. Since personal injury cases are "contingency" cases, you should not hesitate to have a legal team when you have been injured by another driver.

If you have suffered injuries as a result of an accident, give us a call. We helped numerous people in Texas get the settlement that they deserve. We handle broken bones, brain injuries, multiple injuries, lacerations, scars, puncture wounds, amputations, death, and many more.

Victim of a drunk driver?

In Texas roads, there are numerous accidents that occur every day. Some accidents are more dramatic than others, and some injuries are more serious than others. The problem arises when a drunk driver is behind the wheel of a vehicle. These drivers place their lives at risk and also the community at large. But many times these individuals go unpunished.

Recently, insurance companies, as a result of legislature changes, were required to increase their coverage for financial responsibility from $40,000 per occurrence to $50,000. But, when a life has been lost, that is not an amount to compensate any one, including the victim's family. Many times, other injuries or conditions may exist that would allow greater compensation for the families.

Our law firm has been helping Texas families victims of drunk drivers recover what they deserve. When drunk drivers are responsible, the implications are criminal as well as civil or monetary. Wrongful death usually arises as a result of the irresponsible drunk driver.

The Texas wrongful death statute is clear. A wrongful death has occurred when a person is killed due to the negligence or other liability of a person or entity. The statue includes death by a drunk driver.

Surviving beneficiaries and dependents are entitled to monetary damages in instances of wrongful death by a drunk driver. If your love one has been a victim of a drunk driver, either by fatal injury or by death, contact us. We can help.

Would your claim be subgrogated?

In order to understand the question, first the subject has to be defined. Subrogation is the substitution (or subrogation) of one person in the place of another with respect to a claim, demand or right against a third party, so that the substituted party assumes the rights of the other, or (stands in the shoes of or replaces) the other, with respect to a claim against the third party.

The doctrine of subrogation is based on principles of equality and good conscience and is generally used as a means of placing the ultimate burden of the debt on the person who should originally have it. Subrogation may be established by law (contract) or founded upon equity (facts).

For the most part, the doctrine of subrogation has been utilized by insurance companies who are obligated under their policies to pay their insureds for property damage or casualty losses which the insureds have sustained. A person's right to be subrogated to the rights of another generally arises when that person, acting pursuant to some obligation, pays the debt of the other.

In those situations where the damages appear to have been caused by the negligence or fault of third parties, insurance companies have traditionally exercised their right of subrogation to pursue claims against the alleged wrongdoer.

Because of subrogation, the insurance companies can "stand in the shoes of" their insureds and bring suit against the wrongdoers. Because the wrongdoers who caused the injuries are the persons who should bear the burden for such injuries, insurance companies' subrogation rights have generally entitled them to recover.

Our law firm constantly get calls from individuals who should have been affected under the doctrine, but are unaware of these facts until is too late. If have been injured as a result of some one's negligence, contact our law firm for a free initial consultation.

Why do we need experts witnesses

Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 192.3(e) creates three categories of experts witnesses. It is important to know the distinction between them in order to use them more efficiently.

The first category is the consulting expert. This is an expert who has been consulted, retained or specially employed by a party in anticipation of litigation or in preparation for trial.

The second category is the reviewed consulting expert. This is an expert whose opinions and mental impressions have been reviewed by the testifying expert.

Finally, the testifying expert. This is an expert that may be called to testify as an expert witness at trial.

The Texas Rules of Civil Procedure create an exception from discovery for the identity, mental impressions and opinions of consulting experts. On the other hand, the rules also designate information that is discoverable regarding reviewed consulting experts and testifying experts.

The utilization of experts in personal injury cases is crucial for the sauces of the case. Our law firm utilizes the most prestigious and knowledgeable experts available. When your personal injury, auto accident, medical malpractice, negligence, wrongful death case needs some experts, contact our law firm, we can help.

Car accidents in Texas

Our firm has helped thousands of individuals throughout Texas with their car accidents. As many of you may not know, insurance companies have many tactics to minimize each claim that is submitted by consumers. Even when you are supposed to be in good hands, it’s the total opposite, you are in for a fight. The reason is simple, they have to keep their stock holders happy, not you.

For example, when any one is hit from behind, and there is no broken bones, or contusions, or lacerations, or any major trauma, insurance companies have a way to evaluate the injuries. They are called soft tissue injuries. Now, the adjusters will start to minimize the injuries, the impact that the accident may have on people’s life and so for starters, they will not pay for the full value of the impact, since its only a small impact. Meanwhile, you have lost time from work, your car is not fixed and you are in pain.

Of course this happens when the individuals are not represented. On the other hand, when people come to our firm, their vehicles are repaired, they get seen by doctors and they get compensated for time lost from work. In other words, we maximize their recovery. This is one of the many reasons that people have to come to our law firm right after a car accident.

Another example is when the accident is more serious and there are broken bones, brain damage and or fatal injuries. Now the insurance companies will pay a little more, but they will still use all of their techniques to still minimize your claim. That is why is so important that you have efficient legal representation on your side. To properly care for your injuries, to fix your vehicle and to get you back to normal again, that is our commitment to you.

We always recommend that if you are involved in a car accident, or any type of personal injury, you should have legal representation. Insurance companies have their legal team working for them constantly, and so should you! Let us be your legal team because “We care about your legal needs.”
