Demanding Compensation After A Car Accident
With more and more cars on the road and with a deteriorating highway infrastructure in Texas, it is hardly surprising that there are more than six million car accidents each year in this country. Although some accidents are relatively minor, many are quite serious. If you are suffering from an injury, Kastl Law, P.C., can help.
What You Should Know
Car wrecks result from a wide variety of underlying causes. Most often, a car accident is the result of negligence on the part of one or both of the drivers involved in the accident. Perhaps a driver failed to observe a stop sign, traffic light or traffic signal. And, of course, accidents involving drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs or prescription medication occur, often resulting in serious personal injury and property damage.
After an accident, the other party may attempt to persuade you not to call the police. That’s the wrong decision. It is important to get an official record produced immediately following the accident, and a police report can serve as valuable evidence later on in litigation. It is also critical that you contact an experienced lawyer. We will ensure that vital evidence is preserved and that you are not taken advantage of by profit-driven insurance companies whose primary motivation is their own bottom line.
What Are Some Different Kinds Of Car Accidents?
Car accidents come in various forms, each with distinct characteristics and potential impacts. Some of the most common include:
- Head-on collisions: Occur when two vehicles the front of each other, often resulting in severe damage due to the combined speed.
- T-bone accidents: Also called side-impact crashes. When one car or truck hits another on the, commonly at intersections.
- Rear-end accidents: One car hits the back of another, often causing whiplash. Frequent in stop-and-go traffic.
- Rollover accidents: A vehicle rolling onto its side or its roof, typically because of sharp turns or swerves.
Understanding these types helps raise awareness and promote safer driving practices.
