While every case is unique, there are usually a few telltale signs that signal you have a potential lawsuit on your hands and should begin searching for legal representation.

• The driver of the passenger vehicle believes that they are less than 50% at fault for the accident. This means that it is either suspected or has initially been determined by police that the truck driver, trucking company, cargo loader, or another affiliated third party is responsible for the collision.
  • Texas follows a modified comparative fault system that means that a victim’s damages are reduced by their assigned percentage of fault. Also known as proportionate responsibility, this means that if you were found to be 30% at fault for an accident, you would still be eligible to receive 70% of the allotted damages.
• If multiple parties are being sued for negligence, each defendant has to be pursued to pay for any damages according to their proportionate liability. Because of the complexities surrounding federal and state laws applicable to such cases and the sheer quantity of paperwork and communication with parties, an attorney is necessary.
• If the damages suffered by the victim are significant such as severe injuries resulting in high medical bills, missed work, and more, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer. Insurance companies often attempt to lowball victims in order to get them to settle for less. Don’t make this mistake. An experienced Seguin Tx 18 wheeler accident attorney, such as those at Carabin Shaw, will ensure you receive the maximum compensation you deserve after facing such unfortunate hardship.

The Texas Rules of Evidence outlines evidence that may be used in personal injury cases and determines how that evidence is presented in court. Some key points that are helpful for victims to understand include:

• The burden to demonstrate that evidence is relevant (connected to the case at hand) lies with the party that introduced the evidence. Only relevant evidence is admissible, meaning it can be used in court.
• Evidence that is relevant may be excluded if there is significant danger of unfair prejudice, is misleading, or proves to be confusing.
• The character of a person is generally deemed inadmissible, or is unable to be used, unless it is an essential element of a claim.
• Hearsay evidence, or a statement made out of court offered that is basically gossip is inadmissible.
• Every witness called to testify must be competent.

While these are general rules and regulations, your chosen truck accident lawyer in Seguin Tx will further explain what types of evidence may be beneficial to collect and present for your case. Be sure to keep records of everything involving your accident in case they are needed later. Medical bills, ongoing treatment plans, photos of your injuries and/or the scene of the collision, a day-to-day journal of your healing process, etc. will illustrate a more well-rounded picture about your recovery process after the accident.

• Does the potential lawyer or law firm have a majority of positive client reviews? What is their reputation like?
• Do they illustrate significant experience in personal injury cases in Texas?
• Have they won the majority of their cases?
• When scheduling a case review, are they honest and forthcoming?
• Do they respond quickly and clearly?
• Are they transparent about any costs they may be charging?
