My name is Rafael Quesada, and I’m a motor vehicle accident lawyer for people in Houston. Victims of motor vehicle crashes often leave with serious injuries, financial burdens and emotional distress. Whether you were injured in a car, motorcycle or rideshare accident, I will fight for your full compensation under Texas personal injury laws.
Types Of Auto Accidents I Handle
Motor vehicle accidents have a lot in common with each other; mainly, they are serious accidents that result from automobiles. But that’s a superficial, surface-level connection, and if you look closer, you’ll see the considerable variations that arise in each type of accident:
- Car accidents: Caused by distracted, drunk or reckless drivers, these are extremely common and cross into many distinct areas of the law.
- Motorcycle crashes: Caused by many of the same factors as car accidents, resulting in catastrophic injuries and complicated legal fights due to a perception of risk in motorcycle riding.
- Rideshare accidents: Accidents involving Uber and Lyft vehicles are more common each year, and the legal complexities of who is held liable can confuse most of the victims seeking compensation.
- Commercial vehicle crashes: Including delivery trucks and company cars, these are often the cause of the most catastrophic injuries and hard-fought legal battles for compensation.
I take on all the difficulties ahead of you, from insurance claims and negotiations to lawsuits, to secure the compensation you deserve. When you have a car accident, you cannot wait for help; you need to call my office to learn how I can assist you.
Texas Laws On Auto Accident Liability
Texas follows a fault-based system for car accidents, meaning the at-fault driver’s insurance is responsible for covering damages. However, insurance companies often attempt to reduce payouts. And one of the first ways to do that is to imply that because you may have been partly at fault, you don’t deserve to get any compensation.
The truth of the matter is that Texas law allows for people who are partly at fault to recover compensation for an accident. As long as you were not more than 50% at fault for an accident, you can recover some damages from it. The ultimate payout would be reduced by your percentage of fault; so, for example, if you received a verdict of $100,000 and were 15% at fault, the payout would be $85,000.
Maximizing Your Compensation After A Car Crash
If you were injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for two different categories of damages. The first category is economic damages, which include all billed costs of the accident, including:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages due to missed work
- Vehicle repair or replacement costs
The other part of the damages calculation is noneconomic damages, which include pain and suffering, and other hard-to-quantify losses you may have suffered.
