How Evidence Supports Your Crash Claim
The first step in a personal injury claim is to comprehensively collect as many details about the accident as possible. Take care to share the evidence with your attorney before you provide it to the insurance company. When talking to insurers, don’t share anything beyond what your lawyer says is absolutely necessary.
Police crash report: The CR-3 crash report records the officer’s findings on how the crash occurred, including contributing factors, estimated speeds, and witness information.
Driver details: The other driver’s license, insurance policy, and registration identify the driver, allowing an attorney to initiate the personal injury claim.
Witness contacts: Witnesses’ claims often counter insurance denials. Collect bystanders’ names and contact information after a crash.
Scene photos: Images of the scene, including tire skid marks, help with accident reconstruction. Take wide shots for context and close-ups for skid marks and damage.
Medical care: Seeking medical care ASAP captures your condition and links injuries to the crash.
Traffic cam footage: Some TxDOT traffic cameras along major interchanges may preserve footage for a limited time, so an attorney must act quickly to request and preserve any available video.
Dashcam data: The cameras on your own car provide another perspective of the incident. However, most dashcams are set up to overwrite footage within hours or days. To preserve your dashcam data, freeze the recording by doing the following: (1) power off your car, (2) turn off the camera, and (3) remove the SD card. To give your attorney the best chance of using the footage in court, do not alter or edit the files in any way, and preserve the original SD card so the chain of custody can be documented.
Lost income documents: Pay stubs and employer letters for missed work demonstrate the amount of lost wages.
By gathering these key details, a Katy car crash attorney like Ryan Nguyen will place as much fault as possible on the wrongdoer to increase your payout.
How a Katy Car Crash Attorney Proves Fault
Using all the evidence at hand, an attorney needs to prove fault. This is especially important in Texas, which uses a modified comparative fault system. This means your payout could be reduced by the amount you’re shown to be at fault for. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages.
To skirt responsibility, insurers try to place as much fault as possible on you. But an experienced attorney like Ryan Nguyen knows how to use all the evidence to push back. He leverages details to prove the extent of damages, helping you land the largest settlement possible. Ryan is also ready to glide past another pitfall: legal deadlines. In most Texas car crash cases, you only have 2 years to file a personal injury claim. Ryan initiates your claim well within the deadline, ensuring your case is viable.
When you choose The Falcon to represent your case, you’ll feel secure knowing that he soars through your claim, helping achieve the largest payout as soon as possible.
