What if the At-Fault Driver Lies about the Crash in Texas?
If you are injured by another driver’s negligence in a Texas car accident, you will seek compensation for your covered losses by filing a car accident claim with their insurance provider. A primary element of every car accident claim is proving the other driver’s negligence in the matter, and it is not unusual for an at-fault motorist to deny the part they played. Having an experienced car accident attorney at The Law Office of Joel Vecchio, P.C., backing you up, however, helps to ensure that you will have the evidence necessary to bring your strongest claim.
The Elements of Every Successful Car Accident Claim
Every successful car accident claim must prove each of the following elements:
- The other driver failed to live up to the duty of care they owed you, which means they engaged in some form of negligence behind the wheel.
- The other driver’s negligence was the direct cause of the car accident.
- As a result, you suffered legal damages, such as property damage to your car, medical expenses, lost earnings, physical and emotional pain and suffering.
If the driver who caused you to be injured refuses to accept responsibility, your trusted car accident lawyer will skillfully gather the evidence necessary to prove them wrong.
Evidence Gathering
When it comes to proving the other driver’s fault, despite what they may have to say about the accident, evidence like the following often plays an important role:
- The testimony of bystanders and the occupants of other vehicles who witnessed the accident
- Photos and videos captured by eyewitnesses, dash cams, security cameras, and traffic cameras
- The police report and any tickets issued can go a long way toward establishing fault
- Physical evidence gathered at the scene, such as any skid marks, the transfer of paint from one car to another, the location and extent of damage to the involved cars, and the vehicles’ final landing positions
- Professional accident reconstruction models that help define how the accident happened
- The professional testimony of those with expertise in the mechanics of traffic accidents
- Your own testimony regarding how the accident happened
You can count on your seasoned car accident attorney to ably demonstrate exactly how the other driver’s negligence, such as excess speed, distraction, exhaustion, or impairment, caused the car crash that left you injured.
