Fredericksburg, Texas Car Accident Attorney

Lawyer for Victims Injured in Motor Vehicle Collisions in Fredericksburg

Even though most drivers take precautions to ensure that they are following the rules of the road and driving as safely as possible, there are many situations where motor vehicle collisions occur because of negligence by other drivers. These car crashes can result in multiple types of serious injuries and damage to a person's vehicle or other property. Victims can take legal action to pursue compensation from a negligent driver or any other parties who were responsible, and by working with an attorney, they can make sure they are following the right steps during these types of cases.

Representation for Car Accident Victims in Fredericksburg, TX

Car wrecks can result in multiple types of injuries. A high-speed collision may cause drivers or passengers to suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, or other forms of serious bodily harm. Even seemingly minor accidents, such as rear-end collisions, can lead to injuries such as whiplash, sprains, or dislocated joints. Pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists who are struck by a vehicle are likely to suffer even more severe injuries or wrongful death.

Negligent drivers or other parties may be held liable for causing an accident, and victims may be able to receive compensation for their medical expenses, any income they have lost while recovering from their injuries, impairments to their income-earning capacity because of a disability, and physical or emotional pain and suffering. We work with car accident victims in cases involving:

• Distracted driving - Many drivers believe that they can multitask while driving, but anything that takes a person's attention away from the road can lead to dangerous collisions. Common distractions include texting while driving, making calls on a cell phone, adjusting a car's radio or other controls, conversations with passengers, eating, drinking, and grooming.
• Intoxicated driving - Alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription medications, or a combination of these substances can cause impairments for a driver, affecting their vision, coordination, reaction time, and judgment. These issues significantly increase the chances that a driver will be involved in a car crash.
• Traffic violations - Drivers may cause accidents if they fail to follow the rules of the road, such as by driving above the speed limit, running red lights or stop signs, making illegal turns in front of other vehicles, or tailgating.
• Defective vehicles or parts - Collisions can occur because a vehicle was not properly maintained or due to faulty components. Brake failures, tire blowouts, or problems with steering systems or engines may cause a driver to lose control of their vehicle, causing a serious accident.
• Dangerous roads or intersections - Accidents may occur because a road was not properly maintained or because other hazards were not addressed. A city or state government may be liable for collisions caused by the defective design of a road, highway, or intersection.
