Peter BWHAT CAN YOU GET PAID FOR AN AUTO ACCIDENT?
In Texas, if someone negligently injures or damages another’s property, they must pay. It is not the victim’s or society’s fault. Nobody wants an injury or pain. Economic Damages (damages that can be added up with bills, etc.) and Non-economic Damages are recoverable in Texas. Texas law requires compensation for damages caused by negligence, which includes the following:
Economic Losses in a Car Accident:
Past and future medical bills: Personal injury law allows a person to recover past and future medical bills incurred due to another’s negligence.
Past and future lost earning capacity: If injured due to someone else’s negligence, lost earnings are recoverable.
Loss of household services: A husband or wife’s work around the house and family. You do not need to specify a number because a jury can value it based on their own personal experience.
Damage to your vehicle, loss of use of your vehicle, towing, rental, and any other related bills.
Non-economic Auto Accident Damages:
Past and future pain and suffering: Texas has no set formula. To each case according to its facts.
Mental anguish: There must be evidence of the plaintiff’s mental anguish disrupting the injured party’s daily routine, or a high degree of mental pain that is more than anger, embarrassment, vexation, anxiety, or worry.
Disfigurement: Texas courts define disfigurement as an impairment of beauty, symmetry, or appearance; something that is unsightly or deforms. It is distinct from disfigurement pain, suffering, and mental anguish.
Consortium: Companionship and society are lost in interfamilial relationships such as husband and wife, and children lose their parents. Uninjured relatives file a claim for loss of consortium.
Physical impairment: Prior to the injury, a person could engage in or enjoy activities that they could do prior to the injury.
Wrongful Death: Under the Texas Wrongful Death Act and Texas Survival Act, the family of the deceased may recover both economic and non-economic damages.

DALLAS CAR CRASH LAWYER ACCIDENT SCENE CHECKLIST
Things “to do” after a car accident to protect your rights if you are injured. The checklist can be used in any accident, but includes Dallas-specific information:
1. Keep calm. A car accident can be traumatic. Getting upset will only worsen the situation. Until the police and paramedics arrive, you must protect your health and rights.
2. Examine for injuries. Examine yourself for wounds. Auto accidents are traumatic, sudden, and unexpected. After an accident, people are stunned. You may be unaware of your injuries. Examine any passengers. Check on the other drivers. Help anyone who needs it.
3. Call 911 if someone is hurt. Injured persons should dial 911. Notify the Dispatch. They will send cops and medics. The incident will be investigated. Paramedics will assist any injured. Some cities do not report if no one is hurt. Notify the officer if you are hurt so an accident report can be made.
4. Obtain witness information. Compile a list of witnesses. Relying on volunteers is risky. Many passers-by stop to help. They leave when the cops arrive. However, even if the other driver admits fault, some will later justify their actions. The fear of rising insurance premiums or discussions with their spouse or friends may cause them to change their To protect your rights, obtain any witnesses’ contact information.
If you are too hurt to perform any of these steps, call a friend or family member to assist you.
5. Drivers must exchange insurance and identification. Regardless of fault, Texas Transportation Code Section 550.023 requires drivers to exchange identification and liability insurance. Each driver must comply. Take photos of everyone’s ID and insurance papers.
Most on the scene are helpful in providing information. Once you leave, your ability to gather information decreases. So getting your car repaired and finding out who your insurance company is can be difficult.
6. Document the vehicle damage and accident scene photos. Take photos of the damaged vehicles. Include impact points and plates.
Photograph the scene of the accident. Photo of the accident’s skid marks and road debris. Take a photo of the road to show the lanes and traffic Photograph your route and your return. Take pictures of the road in the opposite direction of the other drivers.
7. Give an officer your statement. Comply with the cop. They will talk to each driver individually. The statements will help the officer write their report. You must give your statement to be included.
Accidents within Dallas city limits, the Dallas Police Department will probably investigate. The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office investigates occasional city accidents. The THP investigates accidents on tollways. The following agencies’ records departments are located within Dallas:
8. Listen to the paramedics. If they say go to the ER, go. Paramedics are trained to recognize symptoms of serious or life-threatening injuries.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS AFTER LEAVING THE ACCIDENT SCENE
If you’ve been hurt in an auto accident, hire a Dallas car crash lawyer first. Do not hire a law firm if you cannot speak with the lawyer. Each case is handled by an attorney so that is who you want to speak to. Call Goyen Law to speak to our Dallas car crash lawyer at (214) 295 7777.
1. Do not contact the insurer. An insurance adjuster’s job is to pay as little as possible for an accident claim. If they can deny a claim, they will. Adjusters are trained to gather evidence to deny claims.
Treat injuries immediately. Injured in an accident? See a doctor right away. We help if you don’t know where to go or how to pay for medical care. We help you find a hospital that treats injuries. We help you find medical facilities that hold billing until insurance companies release funds.
3. Document visible wounds. Preserve visible wounds such as bruising and cuts. Injuries heal. The insurance company won’t believe you had cuts and bruises unless you take pictures.
4. Get a repair quote. Get a car estimate. Allow the insurance company to estimate, but keep your own estimate in case of a dispute.
5. Track out-of-pocket costs. Keep records of what you paid or owe due to the accident. Save any paid or owed money due to the accident.
6. Watch your social media posts. Assume the insurance company or its lawyers will see your posts. They may use any posts against you if they can.

DALLAS CAR CRASH LAWYER INVESTIGATIONS
A Dallas car crash lawyer from Goyen Law will investigate your case to ensure that we have enough evidence to prove liability, damages, and that you can be compensated for your injuries. Our job is to gather evidence to prove the other driver’s liability. We prepare professional evidence for a demand.
Damages from the Accident: Our Dallas car crash lawyer ensures your claim covers all of your losses.
An auto accident investigation looks for all possible causes of the accident to determine who is liable. Various auto accident causes may implicate others.
The driver is at fault in the following accidents:
Car Accidents Caused by Distracted Driving – Texting and Driving, Driver Inattention, etc.
Speeding causes many serious car accidents with injuries due to the severity of the impact.
Road rage causes one in three collisions. Aggressive driving increases the risk of a road rage accident.
Failure to Yield Right of Way – All Texas drivers must yield right of way when required by law. Infraction of this road rule is one of the leading causes of car accidents.
Hit and Run – If a driver causes an injury, death, or property damage, Texas law requires them to stop and render aid. Despite these rules, some drivers flee the scene of a collision.
Multiple car accidents – Can be caused by speeding, tailgating, distracted driving, failure to yield right of way, intoxicated, fatigued, or unlicensed drivers, debris on the road, negligent entrustment of a vehicle to a dangerous or unlicensed, and road rage.
Side-impact auto accidents are among the most dangerous on Texas roads. A side-impact collision occurs when one vehicle collides with another’s side. It’s also called a “T-bone” or “broadside collision”.
Head-On Collisions – A head-on collision occurs when two drivers collide from the front. This type of collision doubles the force, so a 45 mph collision becomes a 90 mph crash.
Other than the driver, others may be liable for damage and injury in the following categories.
A Dram Shop Act – A case may exist if the drunk driver was over-served. In this case, the bar could be held liable. If the drunk driver was driving someone else’s car and the owner knowingly let a drunk driver take control, you may have a claim for Negligent Entrustment.
Drug-impaired drivers – If the driver was in another person’s car, you may have a Negligent Entrustment claim against the owner.
Fatigued Drivers – If a fatigued driver is driving a commercial vehicle, their employer may be liable. You may have a claim for Negligent Entrustment against the vehicle’s owner if the driver was clearly tired.
Debris on the Road – Both the driver and the company may be liable for unsecured loads.
Negligent Entrustment – Allowing an unlicensed or dangerous driver to drive their vehicle is negligent entrustment.
Teenagers and unlicensed drivers cause car accidents. If the owner of the vehicle let an inexperienced or unlicensed driver drive, you may have a Negligent Entrustment claim.
