WHO IS LIABLE FOR YOUR INJURIES

Dealing With Insurance Companies After a McAllen Car Wreck

After you check on your loved ones, your first instinct may be to contact your insurance company. That’s usually fine — but avoid revealing too much detail before speaking with our office, and never give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver’s insurer.

Insurance adjusters are trained to record statements and use your own words against you later to reduce what you recover. Let our attorneys handle every conversation with the insurance company on your behalf.

Common Causes of McAllen Car Accidents

  • Distracted driving — texting, talking on the phone, or other divided attention behind the wheel
  • Reckless or aggressive driving — speeding, tailgating, and unsafe lane changes
  • Impaired driving — drowsy, drunk, or drugged drivers
  • Road conditions and defective parts — poorly maintained roads, malfunctioning traffic signals, or defective brakes and tires
  • Inexperienced drivers — unfamiliar with McAllen traffic patterns and hazards

TEXAS LAW YOU SHOULD KNOW

Car Accident Claim Deadlines & Comparative Fault in Texas

Texas gives crash victims two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Texas also follows modified comparative negligence: if you’re found 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover damages, but if another party holds most of the blame, you can still recover compensation proportional to their share of fault.

Did You Know
Handling a car accident claim without a lawyer typically means recovering only a fraction of what you’d receive with experienced legal representation — insurance adjusters know an unrepresented claimant is far less likely to push back on a lowball offer.

Compensation for Damages: What Can You Expect?

Economic Damages

  • Vehicle repair or replacement
  • Medical bills, surgery, and rehabilitation
  • Lost income and loss of future earning capacity
  • Ongoing and future medical care

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and suffering from serious injuries
  • Emotional distress and PTSD
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium and reduced quality of life

McAllen Car Accident FAQ

If your single-car accident was due to something beyond your control — a defective vehicle part, a road hazard, or another party’s negligence — you may still be able to recover compensation through an injury claim.

Many car accident claims settle before trial becomes necessary. If the insurer won’t negotiate in good faith or make a fair offer, we’re prepared to take your case to court to get the compensation you deserve.

Under Texas’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages as long as you’re found less than 51 percent at fault — your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
