What Are Common Causes of Car Accidents in Fort Worth?

Texas lawyers who hold negligent drivers accountable

What causes car accidents in Fort Worth? While the list of potential accident causes may be long, some accidents are more common than others. No matter what kind of accident you've been in, rely on Coby L. Wooten, Attorney at Law, P.C., to make things right. Attorney Wooten has years of experience handling car accident cases in Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington and beyond. We're familiar with Texas traffic laws and the most common causes of traffic accidents. We leave no stone unturned in determining the cause of your crash.

Some of the leading causes of Fort Worth car accidents include:

Distracted driving behaviors such as texting or talking take the driver’s attention away from the road. They may not be able to respond in time to prevent a crash. Drinking and fatigue can affect a driver’s judgment and driving skills. Other driving behaviors such as speeding affect a driver’s ability to control the vehicle. Impaired driving is consistently a leading cause of death in car crashes, but any type of negligent driving behavior can result in a fatal collision.

When another driver is engaging in negligent behavior, recovering financial compensation should be fairly straightforward. But it can actually become quite complicated. Negligent drivers often deny doing anything wrong and refuse to accept responsibility for what happened. This puts you in a position where you must prove negligence.

Don’t expect help from the insurance companies. They want to pay out as little as possible. So they may try to put some of the blame for the accident on you. Or they’ll question the seriousness of your injuries. They may argue your injuries were pre-existing. Another common tactic is to offer you a settlement that falls far short of covering your total damages.

Holding negligent drivers accountable

Insurance companies have lawyers who are looking out for their best interests. You need an experienced attorney who will fight for what’s best for you.

Our firm investigates your accident to get the facts. Our legal team gathers evidence, including any video from traffic cameras. We carefully review accident reports and medical records. We identify and interview witnesses. And if needed, we consult accident reconstruction experts and other specialists.

Our lawyers build strong cases that insurance companies have to take seriously. We determine the total damages you have suffered, including current and future medical expenses, lost wages and other damages such as pain and suffering. We fight for the compensation you deserve, whether that comes through a negotiated settlement or a jury verdict.

When you contact us, you receive personalized, individual attention from an aggressive Fort Worth car accident attorney who has successfully protected the rights of accident victims in the state of Texas since 1996. You get someone who understands how to investigate a car accident. Attorney Wooten knows the right questions to ask. He knows what to look for in police records and medical records after an accident, the evidence to look for at the scene of an accident and what to do when dealing with insurance companies. Attorney Wooten works tirelessly for each and every car accident victim one-on-one, case-by-case.

We don’t use case managers here. You will deal directly with your lawyer every step of the way.
