Car Accidents in Texas
Each year, thousands of car crashes are reported across Texas, resulting in serious injuries and costly consequences. Whether on city streets or rural roads, collisions remain a leading source of emergency calls throughout the state. The Texas Department of Transportation continues to track increasing crash numbers in both urban and suburban areas.
For many crash victims, the aftermath brings up one stressful topic in particular—dealing with the insurance process. Here’s why that’s often harder than it seems:
-
Delayed Claims Processing: Insurance companies can be slow to respond or approve claims. Victims may wait weeks or even months for compensation, all while medical bills and repair costs pile up. This delay can add emotional strain to an already difficult situation.
-
Low Settlement Offers: Initial settlement offers from insurers often don’t reflect the full scope of a victim’s losses. Medical expenses, pain, missed work, and long-term effects may not be accounted for unless the victim fights back or seeks legal help.
-
Disputed Liability: Insurance adjusters may try to shift blame to the injured party or downplay their policyholder’s responsibility. This can significantly reduce the value of a claim or lead to outright denial without legal assistance.
-
Lack of Clear Communication: Victims often feel left in the dark as they wait for updates. Poor communication and unclear instructions make it difficult for people to understand what steps they need to take to move their claim forward.
-
Denial of Necessary Treatment: Insurance companies may refuse to cover certain types of treatment or therapy, claiming it’s not “reasonable” or “necessary.” This puts victims in the difficult position of having to pay out-of-pocket or forgo care.
