Common causes of motor vehicle accidents in Lewisville

The unfortunate fact is that many car accidents are preventable. Crashes are often the result of careless and reckless behavior. Some motor vehicle operators make poor choices that cause irreparable harm to others on the road. Common causes of car accidents on Lewisville roads include distraction, intoxication, and speeding.

Driving while distracted. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), texting is the leading cause of distracted driving. Taking your eyes off the road for a moment can cause a traffic crash. Drivers traveling at highway speed cover the length of a football field in a mere five seconds.

Cellphone use is not the only activity that interferes with driving. Eating, drinking, adjusting the radio, or using a GPS device get in the way of driving safely. When drivers take their eyes off the road for any reason, they risk causing a rear-end collision or running a red light.

Driving while intoxicated. In Texas, it is illegal for a driver under 21 years of age to operate a motor vehicle with any detectable alcohol in their system. Drivers aged 21 years and older break the law when their blood alcohol level (BAC) is 0.08.

A driver’s BAC is not the only way law enforcement can determine intoxication. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TX DOT), “you are breaking the law as soon as drugs or alcohol affect your driving.” Alcohol affects each individual differently. Drivers are not obligated to get behind the wheel if they are impaired, no matter their BAC.

Speeding. Driving above the posted speed limit causes numerous car accidents in Lewisville. Drivers must remember that posted limits are the maximum speed they should drive at any time.

Road and weather conditions may require a slower speed for safe driving. Snow is rare in Lewisville and can take unprepared drivers by surprise. Vehicles need more room to stop on slick snow- and ice-covered roads.

3 Steps to take following a Lewisville car accident

Taking the right actions after a car accident is essential to preserving your legal rights. You must take swift action to get medical and legal assistance.

1. Seek medical care

If your injuries were severe enough, an ambulance might have transported you to Medical City Lewisville, SignatureCare Emergency Center, or another Lewisville area healthcare facility. Continue to follow the treatment plan your doctor set up for you.

Some people refuse treatment at the accident scene. Perhaps they do not realize the full extent of their injuries at the time, or they worry about the cost of an ambulance. If you have not seen a doctor yet, go right away. Your injuries may worsen without immediate medical care.

You cannot pursue compensation if you do not have a car accident injury diagnosis from a healthcare provider. Your post-accident exam and diagnostic testing are necessary to build your car accident injury claim.

2. Request a copy of the accident report

The accident report contains critical information such as the time and location of the accident and who was involved. You can contact the City of Lewisville Police Department to request a copy of this document.

3. Contact a Lewisville car accident law firm

Our legal team is available 24/7 to take your call. You can contact us on the day of your accident for legal assistance and guidance; there is no reason to wait to speak with us. Once we determine that you have a valid legal case, we can take over all legal aspects of your accident. That includes talking with the insurance adjuster on your behalf.

How Can the Law Firm of Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, Help You Secure a settlement?

1. Our firm can help inform you if you have a valid legal case after suffering injuries from a Lewisville car accident.

We know that car crashes happen at all hours of the day and night. That is why our legal team is available to our potential clients for free, 24/7. You do not have to wait long to have our law firm perform a free case evaluation. We will let you know if you have a valid legal case and what options are available to you moving forward.

We offer free video and telephone consultations at mutually agreeable times. That saves you time and money by not requiring you to travel. We can evaluate your accident immediately and not wait until you are well enough to travel to our office.

During your free case evaluation, we learn about the details of your crash and gather information.

Were you hurt in the car accident?

What is the nature and severity of your injuries?
What were the circumstances of the accident? Did another driver’s negligent or reckless behavior cause the crash?
Is there insurance available to cover your bodily injuries and other damages?
When did the accident occur? Is there still time to file a Lewisville personal injury claim?

2. Our legal team can assess your damages following a Lewisville motor vehicle collision.

After you hire our legal team to assist you, we get to work assessing how your accident injuries impact your life.

We will learn more about the current and future damages you have following your crash, such as:

Medical expenses
Future medical care
Damage to your vehicle and other personal items
At-home tasks you can no longer perform yourself, such as child care, housekeeping, lawn maintenance
Physical and occupational rehabilitative therapies
Other out-of-pocket expenses you incur due to your accident injuries

Determining the scope of your injuries and the accident’s impact are the first steps to calculating your settlement amount.

3. Our Lewisville car accident lawyers and legal professionals hold responsible parties accountable for your injuries.

Determining responsibility, especially in accidents involving multiple parties, is critical to building your car accident injury claim. We help determine which individuals and entities are responsible for your injuries and hold them accountable, even if the insurance companies attempt to place the blame on you.

4. The attorneys at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, can help protect you against inadequate insurance payouts.

You might think it is a win-win situation if the insurance company offers you a settlement immediately. That means you have the compensation you need, right? Unfortunately, that is not quite how insurance payouts work.

Insurance companies are businesses that need to make money. They do so by not paying out more than they have to. The insurance adjuster’s initial offer may fall short of what the law entitles you to and what your damages are worth. Sooner rather than later, you may run out of money if you accept a low offer. But you will not be able to pursue legal action because you already accepted a settlement.

Your best course of action is to contact Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, immediately after your accident and before you talk with an adjuster.

Damages you can pursue following a Lewisville car accident

You can pursue two types of damages following a car accident, economic and non-economic.

Your economic damages are tangible and often relatively simple to calculate. Our legal team can quickly add up the cost of your medical bills, lost income, and the cost of hiring at-home assistance.

It is not always so easy, however, to predict future economic damages. Our attorneys and legal professionals take the time to paint an accurate picture of the lifelong impact the crash will have on you and your family. We consider your medical prognosis to determine when and if you can return to work and what future medical care you will need.

Non-economic damages are subjective and can be more challenging to prove. We know that your pain and suffering are very much real. However, insurance companies often push back against non-economic damages to save money. Our legal team assesses aspects of your injuries when determining your potential non-economic damages.

This may include any injuries that:

Are permanent and disabling
Result in disfigurement or scarring
Interfere with your relationships with your spouse and minor children
Limit your enjoyment of life and ability to pursue hobbies
Prevent you from returning to work or cause you to work in a diminished capacity

Our team pursues an adequate settlement that compensates you for your economic and non-economic damages.

The statute of limitations following a Lewisville car accident

You do not have unlimited time to pursue compensation for your car accident injuries. Texas Civil Practice And Remedies Code § 16.003 allows you only two years to take legal action following a motor vehicle crash.

The longer you wait to pursue a settlement, the more difficult it can be for a lawyer to build a strong case. Most forms of evidence fade with time, so do not wait to schedule consultations with law firms that appeal to you. Today, you do not have to take the time and trouble to meet face-to-face. Many Lewisville car accident law firms now handle consultations easily and quickly via the internet.

During your initial consultation, a prospective law firm learns more about your car accident. This is also an opportunity for you to ask the legal team questions and learn how they operate.
