The trucker, the trucking company and the truck manufacturer and others may carry responsibility for the accident. The trucker must be carefully examined including the truck driver’s responsibilities, actions, training, physical and mental state, and credentials. The driver’s logs will be reviewed to determine if the driver complied with state and federal regulations and laws including laws on rest periods. Driver fatigue is one of the leading causes of trucking accidents. The vehicle’s records will be examined to determine the vehicle’s loading, maintenance, inspection and testing.
The types of evidence used to prove fault in a trucking case include trucking logs, police reports, witness statements, cell phone records, the truck driver’s employment records and the trucking company’s safety records.
There is no guaranteed minimum or maximum amount you can recover in a personal injury settlement. While factors such as the severity of the injury, medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term impact are important, the settlement amount is also significantly influenced by the insurance limits of the at-fault party. These limits determine how much coverage is available, but they do not guarantee you will receive the full amount. To better understand the potential value of your case, it’s best to consult with an experienced attorney like The Kashar Law Firm, P.C. Also until someone has fully recovered from their injuries it isn't possible to determine the value of someone's case.
Settling your personal injury claim must include all types of injuries or damages available to you. Otherwise, you may lose your right to recover those losses. Included in “economic damages” are past and future medical bills, past and future lost wages, rental car expenses, property damage and other specific financial burdens. General damages include past and future pain and suffering, past and future mental anguish, past and future impairment, and possible past and future disfigurement.
The parents usually do not have any access to their child’s settlement funds. This is because there are parents who use their child’s money for their own personal benefit, so protection for this money has been established by law. It is the court who will keep the child’s settlement money in a “blocked” bank account until he turns 18.
Anyone who has been injured due to someone else’s negligence may have the right to seek compensation—even if they were partially at fault. In Texas, as long as you are not 51% or more responsible for the accident, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. Establishing the other party’s liability is key, and working with an experienced attorney like The Kashar Law Firm, P.C. can help you navigate the process and pursue the compensation you deserve.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death cases is two years. This means you must file a lawsuit within two years from the date of the accident, or you may lose your right to seek compensation from the liable party.
However, you shouldn’t wait until the deadline approaches to take action. After hiring a personal injury attorney, you should file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company as soon as possible. Early action helps preserve evidence, strengthens your case, and allows your attorney to begin negotiating on your behalf well before the statute of limitations becomes an issue.
Accident victims are not required by law to retain an attorney, but the benefits are great. On average, individuals who are represented by a lawyer recover more compensation than those people who handle their claim on their own. Make sure you have the advantage of a lawyer’s knowledge and ability to represent you.
In Texas, if you were in a car accident caused by another motorist who has inadequate or no insurance, and you have underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage on your insurance policy, your insurance company should pay for any damages or injuries you may have sustained.
Oftentimes a settlement can be made between you and the insurance company without having to go to trial. This is the best and most desirable outcome. However, if the insurance company continues to refuse to provide adequate compensation, you may have to pursue a higher payout in court. Either way, it is vital to have a personal law firm such as The Kashar Law Firm, P.C. on your side. They have the knowledge and skill to build a strong case on your behalf.
Negligence an be described as the failure to act with caution or care and this failure to act causes injury or damage. A good way to determine whether a person was negligent is to ask: “Would a reasonably prudent person have acted in the same manner if put in the same or similar circumstances?” If the answer is no, the person may have been negligent.
There are two important reasons to see your doctor immediately after your car accident. First, you need to get medical attention for your injuries, making sure that you heal properly. This is especially important if you suffer a catastrophic injury. Second, seeing a doctor means that your injuries are documented in your medical records and diagnostic tests, including X-rays and MRIs.
