Compassionate Car Accident Attorneys For Victims Injured in Car Accidents

The aftermath of a car accident can be profoundly disorienting. If you have recently been involved in a wreck, and you have sustained injuries, you may – hours or even days later – be in too much pain, too medicated, or too traumatized to think straight for very long. Unfortunately, time does not slow down long enough to let crash victims "catch up" before they need to act in order to safeguard their rights and legal options. This is why, even if you are not sure about whether you are ready to deal with legal issues related to the accident, it is important to get in touch with our legal team today.

In the minutes and hours after a crash, the scene of that collision is cleared so that it does not pose a risk to other travelers. Valuable evidence may never again be so accessible as it is when the scene of a collision remains intact. The longer you wait to start preserving evidence, the greater the chance that the strength of your case will be compromised as a result. For better and for worse, if you have recently been involved in a wreck, the time to act is now. At Burress Injury Law, we can make sure all evidence is gathered and preserved, and we will make sure you take the right steps to receive the compensation you deserve.

Determining Fault

Collecting evidence right away is often the key to accurately determining fault for a collision. In Texas, if a car wreck is caused by more than one party, fault is assigned on a percentage basis. For example, one driver may be deemed to have been 20% at fault for the crash because they were distracted at the moment of impact, and the other driver involved may be deemed to be 80% at fault because they violated traffic laws by running a red light. It is not possible to make these fault-percentage determinations until it is clear what happened leading up to the impact. By connecting with our team right away after an accident, we can start to gather evidence to accurately determine fault.

Liability Considerations

Once it is clear who was at fault for your collision, we will be able to determine who is liable for your harm and to what extent. A party's percentage of fault for a crash directly mirrors the extent of liability to which they can be held accountable. Say that you have suffered catastrophic injuries, and the damages you have suffered are valued at $1 million. If you were 20% at fault for an accident, as in the hypothetical example described above, you would be able to hold the other driver responsible for $800,000. You would be determined to be responsible for the remaining $200,000 of your damages due to your contribution to the causes of the crash.

When we meet with you, we can explain how these concepts of fault and liability apply uniquely to your circumstances. By establishing liability and accurately calculating the value of your damages, we can ensure that you will be fully compensated for the harm you have suffered.
