Negligence in Carrollton Motor Vehicle Accidents

When you have been injured in a car crash, one of the most important steps in recovering compensation is determining who is at fault and gathering evidence of negligence to support your personal injury claim. To demonstrate negligence, you will need to show that another party, often another driver, was acting in breach of their duty to avoid putting the safety of other people at risk. Negligence can take many different forms in motor vehicle accidents, including:

• Distracted driving
• Drunk driving
• Speeding
• Reckless driving
• Drowsy driving
• Violations of traffic laws or regulations

You will also need to show that the negligent behavior was the cause of the damages you have suffered. We can help you build your case using evidence from camera footage, witnesses, police reports, and other records, as well as documentation of your damages through your medical and work records.

Representation for Accidents Involving Different Kinds of Vehicles

Car accident injury details are often complicated by the types of vehicles and drivers who are involved. We have experience with many different motor vehicle accident cases, including:

• Car accidents - Collisions between passenger vehicles are the most common form of motor vehicle accidents, and usually, one or more drivers are at fault. We can help you demonstrate negligence and resolve issues of proportionate responsibility to recover the most possible compensation.
• Truck accidents - Semi-trucks tend to cause more severe injuries because of their size, and commercial trucking companies may be liable along with their drivers. We can help you hold all negligent parties accountable.
• Motorcycle accidents - Catastrophic and fatal injuries are especially common among motorcyclists. We can help you recover damages for yourself or a loved one.
• Bus and train accidents - These large vehicles can cause severe injuries to multiple passengers and bystanders. We can help you recover from negligent operators, as well as the companies or organizations responsible for managing these transportation systems.
• Rideshare accidents - Uber and Lyft drivers often cause accidents while on duty, and we can help passengers and other drivers recover compensation in these unique cases.

Once we have a better understanding of the specific circumstances of your accident, we can determine how best to pursue compensation from any negligent parties who contributed. We can often achieve a fair resolution through settlement negotiations with the at-fault parties and their insurance providers, but we may need to file a lawsuit in court and fight for a trial verdict that awards you the compensation you deserve. In either case, we will work to ensure that you are fairly compensated for your medical bills, any lost wages due to your injury, permanent scarring and disfigurement, physical pain, and mental suffering.
