The various types of motor vehicle accidents in Texas

Motor vehicle crashes may involve many different scenarios and victims, including drivers, passengers, bicyclists, motorcycle riders and pedestrians. The following are some of the most common types of these accidents:

• Car accidents — Typical car crashes involve two or more passenger vehicles, which may collide due to driver distraction, drunk driving, drowsy driving, lack of visibility and poor road maintenance. We help you hold negligent drivers and other parties accountable for the actions leading up to the accident in question, especially when it results in significant injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one.
• Motorcycle accidents — Motorcycle riders have the same rights to our roads and highways as other motorists, although they lack the size and visibility of most other vehicles. Drivers must be aware of the motorcycles with which they share the road, particularly when changing lanes and making turns.
• Truck accidents — Due to the size and weight of tractor-trailers and other large commercial trucks, a collision with another automobile can have devastating results. Truck drivers’ errors, rushed schedules, poorly balanced loads and inclement weather are some of the most common factors leading to these crashes.
• Pedestrian accidents — People on foot are susceptible to serious injuries if a motor vehicle strikes them, as they typically lack any form of protection. In many situations, drivers fail to account for pedestrians at intersections, even if there is a marked crosswalk.

Although there are some accidents for which no one is really at fault, others are the result of negligence on the part of one or more parties. Our personal injury lawyers protect your rights and best interests.

Why should you hire a personal injury lawyer at Hope & Causey after a Conroe car accident?

An insurance claim is bound to encounter resistance. If you don’t have professional representation, you can expect an insurance company to deny responsibility, delay settlement talks and defend against your claim. Their job is to limit how much the company pays, no matter how legitimate your claim might be. They might even try to turn the tables and accuse you of causing the crash.

While you are trying to restore your health, you don’t need the added stress and uncertainty that comes with trying to fight insurer’s tactics. When you retain our firm, you get an experienced and accomplished legal team that can thoroughly investigate your accident, retain accident reconstruction and medical experts as needed and present a persuasive case, in claim negotiations and/or at trial.

Getting compensation after a Conroe, TX car accident

To recover damages from a third party, you must prove they were primarily at fault for the collision. There are four key legal elements of every liability claim:

• Duty of care— A person had a duty to act to those around them.
• Breach — That person breached the duty of care by behaving carelessly.
• Causation — The careless act caused an accident.
• Damages — The accident inflicted injury on another person.

An experienced personal injury attorney knows how to construct a case that addresses each of these elements.
