Bangs, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

You should hire a qualified and experienced injury attorney to pursue a claim for all your injuries, damages and losses caused by this drunk driver. A good injury lawyer will pursue any and all avenues of financial recovery, including her insurance and/or personal assets, any UIM insurance you may have on your insurance policy, and any restitution which may be ordered from the county which prosecutes her DUI case. An injury lawyer will also make sure all health insurance and/or medical payments coverage (this is on an auto insurance policy) covers your medical care as well. Finally, any and all sources of liability should be examined as well. For example, while she is obviously liable for most/all of the damages, there are potential other third parties who could be at fault (the bar or private party where she got drunk if applicable, roadway design, emergency personnel for not moving the vehicle or setting up cones, flashers, etc., and potential others). But yes, you should hire a personal injury attorney for this situation.

Be very careful. You should have an attorney read your insurance policy. Many have rights of reimbursement or subrogation of any medical payments for any amounts you collect from other insurance companies. If you have collected medpay and do not pay back, you could be subject to a lawsuit from your insurance company.

Thy is what happens to he said/she said cases.
