Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roadways experience thousands of injury crashes each year. According to 2023 statistics from the Texas Department of Transportation, serious injury accidents accounted for a significant portion of total collisions. Many of these incidents occur in residential or mixed-use areas, where narrow lanes, pedestrian traffic, and turning vehicles contribute to hazards.
Let’s take a closer look at one area where crashes can complicate things for victims—property damage:
- Vehicle Repairs: Injuries are often accompanied by substantial vehicle damage. Getting your car fixed or replaced can be a lengthy and expensive process. An attorney can help ensure that repair costs are included in your claim.
- Rental Cars and Transportation: While your car is in the shop, you may need a rental or alternative transportation. A lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company to cover these temporary but essential costs.
- Diminished Vehicle Value: Even after repairs, your car’s resale value might drop due to its accident history. Attorneys can include diminished value claims as part of your compensation package.
- Towing and Storage Fees: Cars are often towed from the scene and stored at a lot. These fees add up fast, and insurers may dispute paying them. Legal help can assist in recovering these unexpected costs.
- Total Loss Disputes: Sometimes a vehicle is declared a total loss, but the payout offered by insurance doesn’t match what you believe your vehicle is worth. A lawyer can fight for fair valuation.
