COMPASSIONATE AND AGGRESSIVE DICKINSON CAR ACCIDENT LAWYERS
We Will Help You Recover Your Economic and Non-Economic Damages
Car accidents cause physical injuries, which, in turn, lead to medical bills, lost wages due to time away from work, and mental and emotional distress. All of these can affect your quality of life, and you might feel overwhelmed by mounting medical expenses and financial challenges. Texas is an at-fault car accident state, and with the help of our Dickinson car accident lawyers, we can help you fight for maximum compensation for all that you have endured.
Compensation claims allow you to hold accountable the party responsible for the crash and seek payment for the money you lost due to your injuries and other damages that cannot be quantified in monetary terms. However, compensation claims are not always straightforward, and insurance companies are not always willing to pay, hence the need for legal representation.

We know what it takes to have a successful case and will use our decades of experience and skills to your advantage. Call us now at (713) 973-8888 or toll-free 1 (800) 444-5000 for a free and confidential case evaluation.

What Should You Do After a Car Accident?
After a car accident, your emotions might be heightened, and you might feel confused as you try to figure out what happened. During this time, you might not know what to do. Once you’ve taken a moment to calm your nerves, we recommend taking these steps:
Get to a Safe Place and Call 911
You can move your car away from the flow of traffic or drive a little away from the accident scene to ensure your safety. Do not leave the scene, however, as this would amount to a hit-and-run, even if you might be the victim. Once safe, call 911 to get first responders to the scene.
Get Medical Treatment
Treatment for your injuries starts at the crash scene with the EMS personnel, so allow them to attend to you and get you to a hospital if your wounds are severe. If you feel okay, you can go to the hospital to rule out delayed injuries. Getting treatment on time ensures that the at-fault party’s insurer does not blame you for aggravating your wounds and that you have a record of your injuries.
Gather Evidence
Before leaving the crash scene, gather evidence to support your claim. Take photos and videos of the vehicles involved, their contact point, positions after the collision, tire treads, and debris. Identify eyewitnesses and get their contact information; their testimony is crucial to your case. If the other driver is conscious, ask them for their contact details, license plate number, and insurance details.

Dickinson Car Accident Lawyer FAQs
If you have questions about the car accident claims process, we will do our best to answer them at the initial consultation. Below we have answered some frequently asked questions:
Can I Still Get Compensation if I Was Partly at Fault for the Car Accident?
Yes. Texas uses a modified comparative negligence system, so you can still receive compensation if you are less than 51% at fault; however, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault.
What Is the Value of My Claim?
The value of your claim is dependent on the facts and these factors: medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. We will also consider other factors to assess your claim’s value.
How Much Do Dickinson Car Accident Lawyers Charge?
Most lawyers, including our firm, work on a contingency fee basis. This means we only receive a percentage of your settlement or court award. If you don’t win, we don’t get paid.
Can I Delay Seeking Compensation?
You can’t delay seeking compensation, as you typically have only two years to take action. (*Always speak directly to an attorney for the exact deadlines that apply to your potential claims.) Once the statute of limitations has passed, you can no longer seek compensation.
How Our Attorneys Can Help You
Once you retain our services, our attorneys will handle your case and do the following:
