The largest percentage of personal injury claims requiring the assistance of a lawyer or attorney come from motor vehicle collisions involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. While many assume that their car accident claim will be handled in an appropriate manner by the insurance carrier of the responsible party, they do not know that under Texas law in a car, eighteen wheeler or even an accident caused by a drunk driver; the insurance carrier of the person at fault has, for the most part, no duty to treat anyone other than their own insured in a fair manner. While Texas courts recognize that an insurance company has to deal in good faith with their insured, the courts have not recognized any duty to treat the insured's car wreck victim in a similar manner. Not only does the negligent party's insurance carrier not owe the car wreck victim such a duty; if the claim cannot be resolved fairly, the car accident victim is forced to sue the negligent party and not the insurance company, even though ultimately, it is the insurance company that has to pay - not the individual person. Texas law also states that the jury is not to be informed of the fact that the negligent party has insurance to cover the claim.

Defective premises or attractive nuisances, such as an unlocked swimming pool gate, are also a major cause of personal injuries and deaths. We have also represented numerous dog bite victims. It seems that drowning cases and dog bite cases often involve small children. Cases involving children require not only experience in the law, but experience in protecting the child from as much of the legal process as possible. For more information concerning premises cases, dog bites and the claims of children, please view the menu bar to the left.

Since insurance carriers representing the person at fault have many of the cards stacked in their favor, it is important that you know your rights before dealing with the other party's insurance carrier. Therefore, the attorneys at BEMIS, ROACH AND REED will be glad to provide you with a free consultation to discuss the issues involved in your personal injury case.
