Car Accidents Attorney In Dallas, Texas

Holding Negligent Drivers Accountable

According to the Centers for Disease Control, car accident deaths in Texas alone cost citizens approximately $4.89 billion each year. These figures account for medical expenses and lost wages associated with car crashes. Every year in the U.S., approximately 30,000 people are killed in car crashes. These figures don’t account for the many more who survive their accidents with serious and life-altering injuries. Survivors of car accidents may face long-term medical and rehabilitation costs. Their families may struggle to make ends meet due to missed time at work. Individuals may suffer immense pain and suffering, which can interfere with their ability to engage in regular life activities.

The vast majority of car accidents are highly preventable. Most car crashes are the result of human error.

The True Cost of Auto Accidents in Texas

The financial impact of auto accidents extends far beyond immediate vehicle repairs. Each year in Texas, auto accidents cost residents billions of dollars through medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and decreased quality of life. These economic burdens can devastate families already struggling with the physical and emotional trauma of a serious collision.

When you’re injured in an auto accident, you may face:

  • Emergency medical treatment costs and ongoing rehabilitation expenses
  • Lost income during recovery and potential future earning capacity reduction
  • Property damage exceeding insurance coverage limits
  • Long-term emotional distress and diminished quality of life

At the Law Offices of Robert Gregg, we understand that the situation you are in is complicated, stressful, and burdensome not only for you but for your whole family. Our experienced trial attorneys work tirelessly to secure compensation that addresses both your immediate needs and long-term financial security.

Don’t shoulder the burden of accident-related expenses alone. Contact our Dallas auto accident attorneys at 214-559-3444 to discuss how we can help you recover the full compensation you deserve for the true costs of your accident.

Understanding Texas Auto Insurance Requirements

Navigating Texas insurance laws is crucial after an auto accident. Texas law requires drivers to carry minimum liability coverage of 30/60/25—$30,000 for injuries per person (up to $60,000 per accident) and $25,000 for property damage. However, these minimum requirements often fall short of covering actual accident costs, leaving victims with significant financial gaps.

Many drivers don’t realize their insurance limitations until after an accident occurs:

  • Minimum liability coverage rarely covers serious injury treatment costs
  • Property damage minimums may not replace newer or higher-value vehicles
  • Basic policies exclude coverage for your own injuries and vehicle damage
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is optional but critically important

Relying solely on minimum coverage puts you at risk for paying large sums out-of-pocket if you cause an accident involving multiple vehicles or resulting in serious injuries. Our attorneys can evaluate your insurance policy, explain your coverage, and identify all potential sources of compensation after an accident.

The Law Offices of Robert Gregg has extensive experience dealing with insurance companies and their tactics. We’ll work to ensure your claim receives fair consideration and maximum compensation under all applicable policies.

Critical Deadlines After Texas Auto Accidents

After an auto accident in Texas, time is not on your side. Texas law establishes a strict two-year statute of limitations for filing personal injury lawsuits after an auto accident. Missing this crucial deadline can permanently forfeit your right to compensation, regardless of your injuries’ severity or the accident’s circumstances.

Beyond the primary statute of limitations, other important timelines include:

  • Insurance policy notification requirements (often within days of the accident)
  • Evidence preservation timelines before witnesses forget crucial details
  • Medical documentation deadlines for linking injuries to the accident
  • Government entity claim notices (as short as six months in some cases)

The sooner you start your personal injury claim, the better you can preserve evidence like photos, medical records, and witness statements that might otherwise fade or get lost over time. Our legal team understands these critical deadlines and works efficiently to ensure your rights are protected.

Don’t risk losing your right to compensation by delaying action. Contact the Law Offices of Robert Gregg at 214-559-3444 immediately after an accident for a free consultation. Our experienced auto accident attorneys will help you navigate these complex timelines and protect your legal rights.

Auto Accidents FAQ

Call 911 if there are injuries and notify the police about the accident. Obtain names, contact information, and insurance details from all drivers involved. Document the scene by taking photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries.

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This legal deadline, known as the statute of limitations, is strictly enforced in most cases. Failing to file within this timeframe typically means losing your right to seek compensation.

Insurance companies typically should not raise your rates for accidents where you were not at fault. However, some insurers may still increase premiums based on their specific policies or if you have a history of multiple claims. Review your policy carefully and consider discussing with your insurance provider if you receive an unexpected rate increase.

Compensation after an auto accident may include medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. You might also be entitled to non-economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving severe negligence, punitive damages might occasionally be awarded to punish the responsible party.
