Laws that Apply to Palestine Collisions
Understanding the laws that apply to car accidents in Palestine is essential for navigating the legal process effectively. Here are some important laws that might apply to your case.
Fault-Based Car Insurance
In Texas, car insurance follows a fault-based system, which means the person responsible for causing the accident is also responsible for covering the damages. This is important to consider when pursuing a personal injury claim after a car accident. Our attorneys know this system extensively and can file claims against the at-fault driver.
Negligence Per Se
Negligence per se is a legal doctrine that applies when someone violates a statute or law, and that violation directly causes harm to another person. In car accident cases, this doctrine can be used to establish the negligence of a driver who violated traffic laws, such as driving while intoxicated or reckless driving. Our attorneys understand how to leverage negligence per se to strengthen your case and maximize your compensation.
Statute of Limitations
It's crucial to be aware of the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Palestine. The statute of limitations sets a time limit for filing a lawsuit after an accident. In Texas, the statute of limitations for car accident cases is two years from the date of the accident. It's essential to act quickly and consult an attorney, as failing to file within the designated time frame can result in the loss of your right to seek compensation.
Wrongful Death
In the unfortunate event that a car accident results in the loss of a loved one, you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death claims aim to provide compensation for the economic and emotional losses resulting from the death of a family member. Our compassionate attorneys have extensive experience handling wrongful death cases and can navigate the legal process with empathy and professionalism.
Insurance Companies Complicate the Process, But We Fight Back
Dealing with insurance companies after a car accident can be extremely challenging. While they are supposed to provide coverage for damages, they often try to minimize their payouts or deny claims outright. Insurance companies have adjusters whose primary goal is to protect their bottom line, not your best interests.
At Richards Penn Bonner, LLP, we understand the tactics used by insurance companies and are prepared to fight back. Our Palestine car accident attorneys clearly understand the insurance process and know how to negotiate with insurance companies to ensure a fair settlement for our clients. If a settlement cannot be reached, we are ready to take your case to court and advocate for your rights.
Seeking Full Compensation for Your Car Accident Losses
The aftermath of a car accident can result in significant financial losses, including medical expenses, property damage, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. Seeking full compensation for these losses is critical to help you recover and move forward. Our dedicated Palestine car accident attorneys will work tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Compensation in car accident cases can cover a wide range of damages, including:
- Medical expenses: This includes both immediate and ongoing medical treatment, such as hospital bills, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and therapy.
- Property damage: If your vehicle or other personal property was damaged in the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for repairs or replacement.
- Lost income: If the accident has resulted in you being unable to work, you may be eligible for compensation for the income you have lost and future earning potential.
- Pain and suffering: Physical and emotional pain and suffering resulting from the accident may entitle you to compensation.
- Wrongful death: If you have lost a loved one in a car accident, you may be eligible for compensation through a wrongful death claim.
