As personal injury lawyers, we don’t usually meet people during their best moments. They’ve suffered in an accident, and their mind can be just as shocked as their body.
Those who have been in a car wreck can deal with a mental health crisis, too. They might have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. It’s considered normal to feel “abnormal” after a car crash in the Rio Grande Valley.
Neurolaunch has a post about the psychological effects of car accidents. And when anyone suffering from a personal injury contacts us, we understand their mind could be reeling from the event. If someone sustained a concussion during the accident, they could be struggling to make sense of how to move forward, especially when it comes to figuring out who is responsible for compensation.
First, we always recommend that an injured person seek legal support to obtain fair and swift compensation after an auto accident. The reason why is because insurance adjustors may try to haggle over details and offer a low settlement. We also recommend contacting a car accident attorney because there might be several responsible parties obligated to pay an injured person.
Think straight and get a lawyer to determine fault after a car accident
No car wreck is the same in the Brownsville, Texas, area. There could be two cars involved, or a grain truck and a delivery truck as well. And all of those involved will have to be reviewed and held accountable if they contributed to a car crash. And the at-fault rules in Texas determine how much each party is expected to pay. Insurance companies have a habit of pointing the finger at each other. An attorney can help stop the “blame game” and find a resolution.
But it’s not only drivers who could be responsible for filling an injury claim. There are moments when a city or county may also be liable. A poorly maintained road or faulty traffic signal could be just as culpable for inspiring a swerve and crash. For instance, a Texan sued the city of Temple Texas for lack of markings on the street. The police had photo evidence of the roadways, and it was settled in court.
If a Brownsville resident or other Cameron County resident is dealing with mental health issues after an accident, doing the research and running around to manage such a situation could be tough. However, when we are contacted, our legal team knows exactly what to do and how to achieve results.
We’ve mentioned other drivers and municipalities who might be involved in a car crash, but there is one more: the car itself. Sometimes, the manufacturer of an automobile may have a faulty part and be under recall. USA Today recently posted an article about car manufacture recalls. The NHTSA has a list of current cars and trucks recalled for 2025, including models from Ford, Ram, Lincoln, and Volkswagen. Issues include faulty cameras and information displays.
When determining who is responsible for a car crash, there could be multiple parties at fault. Our legal team handles the paperwork and fights for fair compensation, allowing our clients to focus on regaining their mental and physical health.
