Poor driving practices are the primary cause of car crashes in Deer Park. When another driver has neglected to consider the safety of those sharing the roads with them, your attorney will be ready to bring a civil claim against them so you can secure the compensation you deserve.

In Texas, you must prove that you have been injured from another person’s negligence, careless, or reckless action. The injured individual is called the plaintiff and is the party that files the law suit against the responsible party who is called the defendant. In a car accident injury case after a car accident, one must prove 4 elements to win their case:

• Did the defendant have a duty owed to the plaintiff?
• Was there a breach of that duty owed?
• Were the defendant’s actions or lack of actions what caused accident to occur?
• Was the plaintiff injured or suffered damages due to the defendant’s negligence?

To determine the negligence one must look to see if reasonable care was used. While an action might not be intentional, the defendant might still be liable or responsible for your damages. This is why many have insurance policies to protect them from liability.

​After your crash, you likely went to the hospital if you were seriously injured. If you haven’t yet gone to see a doctor, you should do so as soon as possible. That’s because a medical professional can make sure you’re OK and provide official documentation of all the injuries your auto accident caused. This sort of documentation is going to be critical when you list your injuries in your claim for compensation. And the more severe your injuries are, the more compensation you should receive if your claim is successful. Here are some common serious injuries tied to car accidents in Deer Park:

• Back and spine damage- including paralysis and chronic pain
