Car Accidents in Texas
Every year, thousands of people are injured in car accidents across Texas. In fact, the Texas Department of Transportation recorded over 18,000 crashes involving serious injury in one recent year alone. Many of these crashes happen on city streets and intersections like those found throughout Tyler. The financial and emotional impact of these accidents can be life-altering for victims and their families.
Let’s take a closer look at how vehicle damage from an accident can affect victims:
- Total Loss Claims: When the cost to repair a vehicle exceeds its market value, insurance companies may declare it a total loss. This can leave the vehicle owner scrambling to find replacement transportation—sometimes without enough compensation to cover a new purchase.
- Repair Delays and Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Even if a vehicle isn’t totaled, repair shops may face backlogs or delays in parts delivery. Victims may have to pay out-of-pocket for temporary transportation or rental cars, adding to the stress of an already difficult time.
- Insurance Disputes: Determining fault can be complicated. Disputes between insurance companies may stall claim settlements, which in turn delays repairs and reimbursements. Having legal support often speeds up resolution and protects your interests.
- Diminished Vehicle Value: Even after repairs, a vehicle that’s been in a wreck may lose resale value. This is known as diminished value. Some policies cover it, but not all—making it important for victims to explore their legal rights.
