Car accident lawyer for Irving, Texas

Steps to take right after an Irving crash

Get checked at an emergency room, urgent care or your own doctor within a day or two. Request the crash report from Irving police or the Texas Department of Public Safety. Take photos of the scene, the damage, the lane markings and the traffic signals. If a rideshare, airport shuttle or delivery vehicle was involved, photograph the company markings and ask the driver which app or company they were working for. Collect witness contacts. Keep a running log of medical visits, costs and missed work. If the other driver's side calls, you can politely decline to give a recorded statement until you have spoken with a car accident attorney. Keep your answers short and factual.

Irving's freeways and where crashes cluster

State Highway 114 runs through Las Colinas and toward the airport, carrying office commuters and airport traffic that merge quickly at speed. State Highway 183, the Airport Freeway, has been rebuilt in phases and construction lanes still shift. Loop 12 and Interstate 635 wrap around the city, and the 635 interchange area with SH 114 is a busy, confusing junction. The President George Bush Turnpike, SH 161, adds fast toll traffic along the west side. DFW Airport brings shuttles, rideshares and rental cars driven by people unfamiliar with the area. North Texas spring storms produce hail and standing water, and occasional winter ice shuts down the elevated ramps.

What a free case review covers

Our line is staffed at any hour, and the person who answers speaks English, Spanish or Arabic. We ask about the crash, your injuries, the treatment you have received and what the other side has said so far. We explain how Texas handles fault and deadlines after a crash in plain terms. The free consultation is designed to leave you informed. If it looks like a personal injury lawyer licensed in Texas should handle your case, we describe how the referral works. If the case looks too weak to pursue, we say that directly and offer suggestions for managing it yourself. Either way, there is no charge and no pressure.

How the referral to a Texas attorney works

Car Accident Lawyers Agency is a referral service and not a law firm. We connect people hurt in Irving with independent attorneys licensed in Texas who handle crash cases in Dallas County and the surrounding area. Matching depends on the kind of crash, the injuries involved, whether a commercial, rideshare or government vehicle was part of it, and where the case would be heard. That attorney then calls you to talk about representation. When the facts point to a case that will not go anywhere, we tell you that. We would rather give you an honest answer than add your name to a list.

What usually follows once an attorney is involved

Your personal injury attorney notifies the other driver's side and takes over communication. They collect the crash report, medical records, bills, photos, witness accounts and any available video. Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule, so the attorney works to document how the crash happened and who was responsible. In rideshare and commercial cases, they identify which company policies apply. After your treatment has reached a stable point, a demand is prepared and negotiations begin. If those fail, a lawsuit can be filed in Dallas County. You will be kept informed and asked before any major decision is made.
