Car Accident Lawyer Edinburg, TX
Car Accident Lawyers in Edinburg, Texas
Edinburg is the county seat of Hidalgo County and part of the McAllen metro area, which is one of the fastest growing urban areas in the United States. If you have been involved in a serious car accident in Edinburg caused by another driver, you should take advantage of a free consultation with a Car Accident Lawyers to understand your legal rights.
After a serious car accident, it is not unusual to feel overwhelmed by emotions including anger, sadness, and confusion about what to do next. Many accident victims feel financial stress if they have to miss weeks of work while the medical bills pile up.
Please let an experienced Edinburg injury attorney review the details of your accident and explain whether you are eligible to seek compensation. You can rest assured that our attorneys at Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C., will treat you with respect and handle your claim with the highest level of legal skill.
You may receive a call or letter from the other driver’s insurance company after a car accident. You should not sign anything presented by the other driver’s insurance company or accept any settlement until you have had an accident attorney review whether the offer is reasonable.
You may be tempted to take the settlement offer, but initial offers by insurance companies are typically far less than a case is actually worth. You will need an experienced accident lawyer standing up for you to be treated fairly in the settlement process.
How We’ll Handle Your Accident Case
The lawyers at Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C., assist individuals and families in Edinburg and throughout the Rio Grande Valley who have been harmed by the negligence of others. We concentrate on seeking the maximum settlement after a serious Edinburg accident caused by another driver’s negligence or wrongdoing.
We will meet you at our office, at your home or in your hospital room to discuss your legal options after a serious accident. We will meet you wherever it is most convenient for you.
We are ready to take the steps needed to resolve your car accident case as quickly as possible. Our legal team will get to work immediately investigating your car accident, interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence.
We will identify all the parties that are potentially liable for your injuries and analyze the policy limits of their insurance coverage.
The insurance company representing the at-fault driver may contact you and ask you to give a recorded statement about the accident or to sign a release so that the insurance company can look at your medical records.
The insurance company may offer a settlement. Let an experienced accident attorney handle all the communications with the insurance adjusters. Don’t let an insurance company take advantage of your unfamiliarity with the claims process.
We will calculate your losses due to the accident, including medical bills, physical therapy, lost income, future lost income if your injuries limit your ability to return to work and other related losses.
We will present a claim for compensation to the appropriate insurance providers. The claim will reflect the full value of your losses from the accident. Our attorneys will negotiate on your behalf for maximum compensation.
Most cases are settled through negotiation. But if an insurance company refuses to agree to a just settlement, we can file a lawsuit in the appropriate Texas court and seek justice for you. We will continue to try to reach a settlement throughout the process.
Cases We Take in Edinburg
We handle injury cases involving car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents and other types of accidents.
Drivers who exceed safe speed limits put themselves and others at risk of injury. Speeding reduces the time that a driver has to react to avoid an accident.
Talking on a cell phone, adjusting an electronic navigation system, eating or talking to a passenger can cause a driver to take their focus off the road. The number of drivers who are using a cell phone while driving has increased significantly in recent years.
Tailgating, weaving between lanes, driving too fast for traffic conditions, honking and gesturing and speeding through intersections are all forms of aggressive driving. Aggressive drivers show disregard for the safety of other motorists and should be held accountable when they cause accidents.
A driver who has become intoxicated may drive erratically, drive on the wrong side of the road, run a traffic signal or drive too fast and cause a serious accident. Drunk driving accidents are preventable accidents caused by a driver’s poor decision to drink and get behind the wheel.
Many serious accidents in Edinburg occur on highways including SH 107, SH 336, U.S. Route 281 and Interstate 69C.
One of every five motorists in Texas is driving uninsured and many more have insufficient insurance. When an uninsured motorist caused an accident resulting in injuries, you may still be able to obtain compensation to cover your medical bills from your own UM/UIM insurance coverage. Our attorneys can help.
What to Ask Your Car Accident Lawyers
Choosing the right attorney to handle your Edinburg car accident can make all the difference in the results. When you meet with an attorney, it is important to know what to ask to help you make the right choice.
- Have you handled these types of injury cases before?
You want an Edinburg car accident attorney who has handled many car accident cases, has negotiated with insurance companies and understands the steps necessary to be successful. You want a lawyer who has courtroom experience and is prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.
- Will you be the attorney handling my case? Ask which lawyer will be handling your case and who will be your contact with the law firm. Our attorneys are committed to helping people in Edinburg with their legal needs.
- Can you share the law firm’s case results? At Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C., we are privileged to have represented many South Texans and are justifiably proud of our attorneys’ case settlements. The results reflect our hard work on behalf of clients. At the same time, you should walk away from any lawyer who guarantees certain results. Each car accident case has its own set of facts that makes it unique. The results of past cases do not predict the outcome of future cases.
- What is the attorney’s contingency fee?
Personal injury lawyers typically represent accident victims on a contingency fee basis. If you have a valid accident case, you can expect that an attorney will take the case on a contingency fee basis. That means you have no upfront cost and only pay a legal fee if we obtain money for you through a negotiated settlement or jury award.
CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
Our Texas personal injury lawyers help clients who have suffered injuries in various accidents.
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death.
