No matter how safe a driver you are, you cannot protect yourself from other reckless drivers on the road. Drunk drivers are perhaps the most dangerous drivers out there, and they pose a huge threat to other drivers and passengers. If you have been injured in a car, motorcycle or truck accident which was the result of another driver who was intoxicated at the time of the wreck, then you are likely entitled to compensation. A Weatherford personal injury lawyer will be able to help you. A personal injury claim is similar to a property damage claim in that you are seeking financial damages from the insurance company of the at-fault driver. However, unlike with a property damage claim, the compensation you might be seeking to cover medical bills, lost income, etc, the amount of money is significantly more. For that reason, you should not expect to be treated fairly by the insurance adjustor in charge of negotiating your claim. They will politely offer you a smaller amount of money to see if that will satisfies you, even though they know that it won’t even come close to paying off the expenses you’ve incurred.
Why should you have to go into debt to pay for surgeries and months of physical therapy that you never asked for? If the accident was done by a criminal – remember, driving while intoxicated is illegal – then their insurance company should be the ones who pay. Hiring an experienced personal injury and wrongful death attorney is often necessary to make sure that you are treated fairly by the insurance adjustor and given the full compensation you are entitled to under Texas law. In some cases, it might be that the drunk driver only has state minimum insurance coverage which won’t cover your needs. In those situations, a board certified attorney may be able to identify other existing insurance policies that you are able to make a claim against. You may well have underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy, for example; or if a bar or liquor store negligently served alcohol to the at-fault driver even when it was clear they were already drunk, then it may be possible to pursue a dram shop claim against their insurance policy. The bottom line is that you have options and if you have already suffered the pain and inconvenience of being seriously injured, then the last thing you need is the financial debt.
