Car Accidents in Texas
In Texas, injury crashes occur every day, many of them during early morning commutes. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that in 2023 alone, more than 15,000 people suffered serious injuries on Texas roads. Intersections, particularly those in urban centers like Tyler, are common sites for these incidents. These crashes not only result in physical harm but also disrupt lives, jobs, and families across the state.
Let’s take a closer look at how vehicle damage from an accident can affect victims:
- Total Loss Claims: When a vehicle is declared a total loss, victims are often forced to replace their car quickly. Unfortunately, insurance settlements may not cover the full cost of a comparable replacement, especially in today’s vehicle market.
- Repair Delays and Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Even if a vehicle can be fixed, it may take weeks for repairs. Victims often pay out-of-pocket for rentals or ride services while they wait, adding financial stress to an already difficult time.
- Insurance Disputes: Determining liability is not always straightforward. Insurance companies may dispute fault or delay payment. Having legal support during this process helps prevent unfair settlements and protects your rights.
- Diminished Value: Even after repairs, cars involved in crashes often lose value. Some insurance companies cover this depreciation—but not all. It’s important for victims to know what they’re entitled to under Texas law.
