Si Soy Atropellado Por Un Conductor Ebrio, Que Puedo Hacer?

Se predica una y otra vez: no beba y conduzca. Sin embargo, el hecho de que siga esta regla de conducción esencial no significa que todos los demás en la carretera lo hagan. Tener un accidente automovilístico ya es difícil. Incluso cuando una colisión automovilística no es fatal, puede ser mental, física y emocionalmente traumática si un conductor ebrio lo golpea. Es posible que sienta aún más emociones y que se sienta confundido acerca de lo que debe hacer. Si no tiene la culpa de un accidente automovilístico reciente y sospecha que el otro conductor estaba ebrio y desea recuperarse económicamente de sus daños, aquí hay pasos importantes que debe conocer.

Centrarse en la salud

En cualquier caso en el que alguien resulte lesionado, ya sea que alguien esté ebrio o no, es fundamental atender a las lesiones antes de hacer cualquier otra cosa. Asegúrese de cumplir con los primeros en responder y busque tratamiento por todos los daños físicos a usted o sus pasajeros.

Presentar un informe formal

Asegúrese de informar el accidente automovilístico a la policía en las áreas a un informe oficial de accidente. Esto ayudará en las reclamaciones de seguros y será útil para cualquier acción legal que planee emprender.

Registre todo lo que pueda sobre el accidente y su costo

Si puede, tome fotografías de todo en el lugar del accidente. Estas fotos deben incluir imágenes de cualquier daño a los autos involucrados. Asegúrese de anotar su recuerdo del accidente y obtener los relatos de cualquier otra persona que estuviera en su automóvil, así como de los testigos presenciales en la escena. Si tiene alguna prueba de que el otro conductor estaba ebrio mientras conducía, también debe conservarla.

Por cualquier costo en el que haya incurrido debido al accidente, debe asegurarse de conservar los recibos. Esto podría ser facturas médicas, recibos de un taller de carrocería y un registro de cualquier salario perdido, además de una cantidad cuantificada por su dolor y sufrimiento recuperado a través de una acción legal.

Consiga un abogado de lesiones personales

Si usted no tuvo la culpa del accidente, es importante que se comunique con un abogado de lesiones personales. Estipulación que el otro conductor estaba borracho, resistir el sorteo para llegar a un acuerdo con su compañía de seguros. Si puede probar en la corte con la ayuda de su abogado que actuó por negligencia, debe recibir una compensación por los costos en los que incurrió.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:

Our Texas personal injury lawyers help clients who have suffered injuries in various accidents.

We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:

  • Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
  • Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
  • Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
  • Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
  • Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
  • Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
  • Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
