Car Collisions

Car accidents happen in an instant but can have lifelong consequences. Drivers can be distracted by numerous things — cell-phones, other passengers, the radio — all of which can cause serious and sometimes fatal accidents. These crashes often leave victims with severe pain, injury, and medical bills through no fault of their own.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car accident, you deserve compensation. The Fass Law Firm can help. Our compassionate and experienced car accident lawyers will fight for you, so you do not have to suffer the consequences of someone else’s negligence. Call (713) 697-5100 or contact us online to schedule a consultation.

Why You Need a Car Accident Lawyer

Car accidents can be devastating. They happen out of nowhere, and no one is ever really prepared for them. A serious motor vehicle accident can alter your life forever. You might have a debilitating injury, lose a loved one, and acquire medical bills that you did not plan for. If these changes happen because of someone else’s carelessness, you should not have to bear the financial burden. You deserve to receive justice and compensation.

After an accident, you need to heal physically and emotionally. Faced with insurance claims and visits to the doctor, the last thing you want to think about is navigating a complex legal process. Building a personal injury case can be difficult and takes time and effort, but working with a lawyer can help make the process easier. Experienced lawyers have the knowledge and experience to alleviate the pressure and confusion around your personal injury case. They know the laws surrounding your situation, the best approaches and strategies to use, and the process of gathering vital evidence. They will handle all the legal proceedings — negotiating, making phone calls, and filling out paperwork — and will tackle unexpected obstacles. They can handle the legal procedures so that you can focus on what’s most important — healing and getting your life back to normal.

A skilled attorney will protect your rights throughout your case and will work to get you the maximum compensation the law allows. Typically, victims who have an attorney on their side obtain up to three times the compensation as someone without legal representation. The Fass Law Firm has the experience, knowledge, and skill to fight on your behalf to get the justice and compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents

If you’ve been hurt in a car crash caused by someone else’s negligence, it is natural to have questions about your rights and legal options. Our attorneys are here to demand that you get the answers and justice that you deserve. Read our frequently asked questions here, and call us directly at (713) 697-5100 to speak with a member of our team today.

First and foremost, if you need immediate medical attention, call 911 right away. If you and any other passengers seem to be uninjured, put your flashers on and pull off to a safe place away from the road if possible. Next, it’s important to call the police. Filling a police report can provide a written record of what exactly happened in the crash. Often, this report helps to show who was at fault for the accident.

You should also gather the information from all parties involved. Write down their name, contact information, insurance information, and license plate number. Take photos of the scene and your injuries. It is also a good idea to record what you remember about the accident. You might be able to use this documentation later to support your claim. If there were any witnesses, be sure to get their statements as they can also help determine fault.

If you believe you are entitled to compensation, contact an experienced attorney. A lawyer can protect your rights and help you navigate the legal process, getting you the compensation you deserve.

In Texas, you can still receive compensation if you were partially at fault for the accident. The state practices something called comparative negligence, which means that your compensation will likely be reduced, but you will still receive an award. If you are found to be more than half responsible for the accident, however, you may not receive anything.

If you believe that your accident is partially your fault, do not discuss blame with the other driver, the police, or an insurance company. If you admit fault, your compensation might be reduced. A lawyer can speak to other parties on your behalf and help protect your rights. Contact The Fass Law Firm at (713) 697-5100 to speak with an experienced lawyer who can advise you on what steps to take next.

By Texas law, all motorists are required to have a minimum amount of liability insurance. This insurance is meant to help pay for accidents and the injuries they create.

Despite that legal requirement, some drivers do not have insurance. If they are unable to help pay for the cost of the accident, your insurance company is supposed to give you uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Mandated by Texas law, your insurance company is required to help you pay for damages. An attorney can guide you in making this type of claim with your insurance company. They know what steps to take to get you proper compensation for your accident, even if the other party does not have insurance.
