Irving, TX Car Accident Attorney

Dedicated Lawyer Protecting Your Interests After an Irving, Texas Car Wreck
In a recent year, over 559,000 motor vehicle accidents were reported in Texas. Those crashes killed 4,283 and injured more than 250,000 people, with almost 19,000 of them sustaining serious injuries. Sadly, most of those wrecks were caused by negligent driver errors, meaning they may have been preventable. When negligence contributed to causing a car accident in which you were injured, you may be entitled to compensation. However, you need an effective lawyer if you hope to secure the full amount available, because insurance companies are often reluctant to pay claims.
Attorney Andrews began practicing law in 1991, and Jerry D. Andrews, P.C. has helped countless injured victims in their pursuit of compensation since 1999. That extensive experience means we know how to win cases, as evidenced by Attorney Andrews' Texas board certification for his achievements in personal injury law. We will handle every aspect of your case skillfully on a contingency fee basis, meaning we will not charge you fees unless we recover compensation for you. Se Habla Español.
Collecting Damages for Your Irving, Texas Motor Vehicle Collision
To recover compensation after a car accident, you first need evidence that proves that someone else's negligence caused it. Once you know who was responsible, you can file an insurance claim. Unfortunately, filing a claim does not mean you can sit back and wait for a fair settlement. Instead, you can expect the liable insurer to do all it can to minimize or eliminate your payout.
At Jerry D. Andrews, P.C., we know all the ways insurers try to take advantage of claimants, but we also know how to beat them at their own games. We will investigate your crash, gather the necessary evidence to support your claim, and work diligently to maximize your compensation.
