Asserting Your Rights As An Injured Passenger In Texas
If you are a passenger in a car that gets into an accident in Houston, understanding your legal options is crucial. Under the law, injured passengers have the right to pursue claims against negligent drivers. However, navigating this legal landscape can be overwhelming, especially as you try to cope and recover from your injuries. It is vital to have an experienced attorney who knows the intricacies of Texas car accident law.
At Manuel Gonzales, PC, I have helped countless people get through the aftermath of car and vehicle accidents. I have represented passengers with a variety of injuries. These range from less severe issues like whiplash to more serious traumas such as fractures, spinal cord damage and traumatic brain injuries. Regardless of the severity of your injuries, you need a skilled legal advocate to help you with your claim.
When Your Driver Is At Fault: Understanding Your Options
As a passenger, you might feel hesitant about seeking compensation when the driver of your vehicle caused the accident. However, it is crucial to advocate for your rights in this situation. Here are some of your options for compensation:
- Driver’s liability insurance: The primary source of compensation will typically be the driver’s liability insurance. This coverage protects not just the driver but also passengers and other affected parties.
- Your own insurance: If the driver’s insurance is insufficient to cover your damages, you might be able to make a claim under your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
- Legal action: In case of severe injuries or inadequate insurance coverage, filing a lawsuit against the driver may be necessary.
If you decide to collaborate with me as your lawyer, I can negotiate with insurance companies for you and, if necessary, present your case in court. My mission is to help you focus on your recovery while I work on securing the compensation you deserve.
