With the hustle and bustle of life of Central Texas, the quickly increasing number of cars and trucks on our highways, and the prevalence of large SUVs and tractor-trailers, it is almost certain that you or someone close to you will be involved at some point in an auto accident. While some accidents do not rise above the level of a fender-bender, others result in serious damage to property, injuries or even death. If you or a loved one has been involved in an auto accident or has been hit by a truck, contact The Law Offices of John Henry, PC to discuss the options available to you and to seek recovery for your injuries. You can call and speak with an attorney, or use the Case Evaluation button to confidentially submit information about your case and get a same-day response. Important Considerations: - Time is of the essence when you have been involved in an auto or truck accident. It is imperative that witness statements, photographs, and other evidence be captured before they become unavailable. There is no substitute for a visible representation of the harm you or your love one has suffered taken at the time of the injury. In addition, the short time frame in which auto and truck accident claims can be brought is always a concern.
- Recent tort reform in Texas has limited the maximum possible recovery in many cases, but an exceptional attorney might be able to circumvent the caps in some circumstances.
- Contact an attorney immediately. There is simply no substitute for an experienced practitioner who understands what is required to put together a winning case and has the financial resources to see a case through to completion.
- The insurance company which represents the other person or company involved in your accident is looking out for the best interests of their client, and is concerned only with limiting the amount they have to pay. They are under no obligation to treat you fairly. Do not sign anything with the insurance company before consulting an attorney.
- Your insurance company is also concerned with protecting their bottom line. Their motives for settling or dismissing a case might have more to do with their concern about their own exposure than with getting you the maximum amount to which you are entitled.
- Attorneys who do not exclusively handle litigation such as auto accidents may fail to recognize that the design or condition of your vehicle may be as responsible for your injuries as the other driver. If so, they may miss potential defendants capable of shouldering a much larger portion of your damage award than the other driver might be.
- The Law Offices of John Henry, PC will provide you free, confidential consultation to determine whether your case has merit and what would be required to prevail on your claim.
