Car wrecks happen every hour of everyday here in the Fort Worth/Arlington/Dallas area. One minute everything in your life is normal and, in an instant, your life is drastically changed as a result of someone else's failure to pay attention. You now have a wrecked vehicle and you are hurt. You are going to incur medical bills and might have to miss work. It sounds like a cliche, but a car wreck can wreck your life.

But you are not alone. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2007 there were over six million police-reported traffic crashes. This led to over 41,000 traffic deaths and almost 2.5 million injuries.

Most of these preventable motor vehicle accidents happen because driver's make reckless mistakes. It can be a case of simply not paying attention, or it could be the driver was talking on a cell phone, texting, eating or playing with the radio. From teenage to elderly drivers, and all ages in between, most wrecks usually come down to one driver not paying enough attention to their responsibilities as a driver.

Another major cause of accident injuries and traffic fatalities is drunk driving. In 2007, drunk drivers caused almost 13,000 fatalities—or 1/3rd of all traffic deaths. If you are a victim of a car crash caused by a drunk driver, you have rights!

We have handled motor vehicle collisions on I-30, I-20, I-35, Loop 820, Highway 121 (Airport Freeway), Highway 183, Highway 114, Highway 67, Loop 635, Loop 12. But of course, the major highways aren't the only places that wrecks occur. Automobile accidents happen on the city streets due to drivers running red lights, failing to yield, turning errors and just not paying attention.

FIGHTING THE INSURANCE COMPANY

The legal process can be daunting. It is oftentimes next to impossible to get the other driver's liability insurance company to treat you right. If you try to fight the insurance company on your own, the hassle starts with delays and problems getting your car fixed or replaced, and continue all the way up to the insulting offer of settlement.

All accident victims in Texas with serious injuries need a Board Certified Injury Attorney fighting for them to get them what they deserve. The State of Texas allows for compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and the important pain and suffering. The Anderson Law Firm specializes in helping auto accident victims put their life back together.

IMMEDIATE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS ARE CRUCIAL

The Anderson Law Firm immediately investigates our clients' automobile accidents to preserve crucial evidence which will disappear and might be needed at a jury trial later down the road. Proving the driver of the other vehicle was reckless and the fault of the car collision oftentimes takes the immediate accumulation of evidence and witness testimony. Assuming that things will just work out is not a sound strategy. We take our car accident cases seriously and start from day one preparing for a battle with the insurance company.

AVOID THESE THINGS THAT COULD WRECK YOUR CAR WRECK CASE

At the Anderson Law Firm, we have unfortunately seen all kinds of things that an accident victim has done to wreck his own car accident case before he contacted us. Through our years of experience, we have learned some things not to do:

1. Don't delay seeking medical treatment if you are hurt
2. Don't give a recorded statement to the Insurance Adjuster
3. Don't assume the Insurance Company will treat you right
4. Don't exaggerate your injuries
5. Don't delay going back to work when able
6. Don't assume your claim will "work out"
7. Don't delay in hiring a Board Certified injury attorney

AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT, TALKING TO AN EXPERIENCED INJURY ATTORNEY MAKES SENSE

One recent study showed that car accident victims with attorneys get an average 3½ times better settlements than those who chose to go at it alone (2004 Insurance Research Council study).

But besides getting you better compensation than you can get on your own, the Anderson Law Firm takes the load and stress of dealing with the insurance company off of you so you can focus on getting well and back to your daily routine without pain. Let your problems become problems.

So take advantage of the NO OBLIGATION, FREE CONSULTATION. Ask us questions. We will provide straight answers and explain what we can do for you and how we can help you in this stressful time.

After we are hired, we immediately investigate and start planning how to maximize our client's monetary recovery. We look at ALL available insurance, which is often more than just the other driver's minimum liability policy. Maybe there is an excess insurance policy or an employer's liability insurance policy. Also, there might me a need to look into the existence of an uninsured or underinsured motorists policy (UM/UIM). If the insurance company does not treat you fairly, a lawsuit will be filed and ultimately the case tried before a jury.

FREE CONSULATION & NO UP-FRONT MONEY REQUIRED

We provide free consultations to auto accident victims to help them figure out if we can help them. We only work on a contingent fee contract, which means no money is paid to us until we get you a favorable settlement. At that point, we receive a percentage of the money recovered.
