Car Wrecks

A car wreck is the most likely way that we are to be injured in our daily lives. Some of these accidents are caused by careless, inattentive or negligent drivers. Other collisions occur because reckless drivers are texting, talking on a cell phone or are drunk. Alcohol-related accidents are on the rise. Car wrecks cause a major disruption to the victims’ daily routine. Numerous issues arise regarding property damage, rental car arrangements, car repair, medical expenses, lost wages, health insurance, medical liens, subrogation interests, and obtaining appropriate medical care for accident related injuries. The handling of these issues is beyond the ability of the average person and the system is full of friendly-sounding representatives who are all too willing to take advantage of the auto accident victim. If you have been involved in a car wreck you should visit our Auto Accident page at Tyler Auto Accident Attorney .

Trucking Accidents

The East Texas highways are filled with tank trucks, 18 wheelers, log trucks, semis, cement mixers, delivery trucks, flatbeds and other commercial vehicles. The size and weight of these trucks makes them extremely dangerous to motorists in passenger cars and light trucks. Wrecks with these big rigs almost always involve serious or life threatening injuries. The insurance companies that insure commercial trucks are very aggressive and heavy handed and the average person is incapable of effectively dealing with them.

Wrongful Death Damages

A Wrongful Death action accrues when someone is killed as a result of the negligent act or omission of another or as the result of a defect in a product or premises. The parents, spouse and children of the deceased victim have a right to make a claim for wrongful death damages which include damages for the loss of the care, comfort, society, and support of the deceased as well as the mental anguish associated with the loss of a loved one. The estate of the deceased also has a right to make a Survival Claim for the personal injury damages that the deceased suffered prior to death such as the pain and suffering, physical impairment, mental anguish, lost wages, and disfigurement that the deceased suffered as a result of the fatal injuries. If you have suffered the loss of a loved one you should visit our Wrongful Death page at Tyler Wrongful Death Attorney .
