Dallas Automobile Accident Lawyer

You Need an Automobile Accident Lawyer
If you have been in an auto accident, you need an automobile accident lawyer. The need for an experienced auto accident lawyer increases if you have suffered a personal injury from the accident. Auto accident statutes of limitations in Texas say you have only two years in which to file your case, so you should act soon after an auto accident in order to preserve your legal rights. Aside from the statute of limitations, delay in filing a claim can result in evidence lost, witnesses disappearing or their memories fading, and what could have been an easy auto accident case will become difficult or impossible. Contact our auto accident lawyers as soon as possible for a free case review.

What to do After an Automobile Accident
If you suffered a personal injury in an automobile accident, you should know what to do in order to protect yourself and your legal rights. First, call the police (and paramedics if necessary). If you need to go to court, it is important that the police report is accurate and that it reflects your recollection of the events leading up to the automobile accident. Unfortunately, many times the police do not do a thorough accident scene investigation. It is common for people taken from the automobile accident scene not to be interviewed at all. This can result in the police recording only the version of the auto accident given by the negligent driver who caused the accident.

If you have a camera and are not injured, try to photograph the accident scene prior to moving the automobile (only if safe to do so). Additionally, someone should interview all of witnesses to the automobile accident and record their comments. Such interviews should be completed as soon as possible after the accident. The lawyers at C. Kyle Pugh, P.C. are experts at automobile accident claims and can help you receive the compensation you deserve for your personal injury.

Remember, if you have been seriously injured in an automobile accident it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible! If treatment is delayed, the defendant may argue that it was not his negligent driving that caused your injury, but rather something that occurred between the time of the automobile accident and your visit to the doctor. Also, you should keep in mind that the earlier your lawyer becomes involved in your auto accident case, the better off you will be. We offer a free review of your auto accident case, so contact us as soon as possible.

Automobile Accident Statistics
Automobile accident statistics show that auto accidents are the leading cause of death for those under the age of thirty-four. Over 40,000 people are killed in approximately five million automobile accidents annually. In 2002 alone, nearly 43,000 people died in automobile accidents nationwide. That equates to over 115 automobile related fatalities per day. Hundreds of thousands of people are seriously injured every year in auto accidents. These statistics mean most of us, at some time in our lives, will be involved in at least one automobile related accident. If you have been injured in an auto accident, we can help.

Automobile Accidents and Insurance Companies
After consulting with a doctor, the next person you should consult with after an accident is a lawyer experienced in automobile accident claims who can help protect your legal rights and deal with the insurance company.

Insurance companies are in business to make a profit, and they are definitely NOT interested in protecting your rights if it costs them money. Insurance company lawyers and automobile accident adjusters have years of experience persuading injured people to take less than they should to settle their case.

Don't depend on an insurance company to help you after an automobile accident. If you don't have an experienced auto accident lawyer representing you, you will probably not be compensated fairly.
