Auto accident litigation in Dallas
Most people are wary of court proceedings. However, sometimes the only way to get justice is to fight for your rights. When you are involved in a car accident you should not be afraid to speak to an attorney to pursue an auto accident lawsuit in Dallas.
Many people have misconceptions about what happens after an accident, and, in particular, they do not understand the legal process surrounding their potential Dallas car accident litigation.
Some of the misconceptions about an automobile accident lawsuit in Dallas include:
- My insurance company is my ally. This is not true. Your insurance company is looking to minimize payment. Insurance companies are in the business of making profits and you cannot expect them to act in your interest. A Dallas auto accident lawsuit may be the only way to recover for your injuries, your lost wages, and medical expenses.
- I was partially at fault in the accident. In Dallas, comparative negligence law allows you to recover even if you are partially at fault.
- I must accept the insurance company’s offer of settlement so why bother hiring an attorney. The fact is you do not need to accept your insurance company’s offer to settle. An attorney with Dallas auto accident experience will negotiate on your behalf.
- Hiring an attorney means I will be going to trial. The truth is that the majority of automobile accident lawsuits are settled before trial. A skilled attorney will negotiate with your insurance company and will only bring a Dallas car accident lawsuit to court when all else fails.
- An attorney and litigation is expensive, and I cannot afford to pay. When an attorney brings a car accident lawsuit in Dallas, it is done on a contingency basis. This means that you do not pay a penny to the attorney until you receive a settlement or a judgment.
You are entitled to justice and compensation.
