Texas Car Accident Lawyer

A serious car accident can leave you dealing with injuries, medical treatment, missed work, vehicle damage, and insurance companies at the same time.

The Blacknall Firm represents people injured in serious car accidents caused by the negligence of another driver. We handle the insurance and legal issues, build the claim, document the full impact of the accident, and pursue the compensation available under Texas law.

If you or a family member has been injured in a car accident, contact The Blacknall Firm to discuss what happened and what steps should come next.

  • Evidence gathering & claim documentation
  • Direct communication with insurance companies
  • Personal attention from a firm you can trust

After a Serious Car Accident, the Insurance Claim Starts Quickly

While you are focused on medical care, transportation, work, and your family, the insurance companies are already gathering information and evaluating the claim. An adjuster may ask for a recorded statement, request medical information, question fault, or make an early settlement offer before the full effect of the injuries is known.

The Blacknall Firm helps clients protect their interests from the beginning. We review how the collision happened, gather the available evidence, identify applicable insurance coverage, document injuries and financial losses, and communicate with the insurance companies on the client’s behalf.

Our goal is to present a well-supported claim that reflects what the accident actually cost the client – physically, financially, and personally.

How The Blacknall Firm Helps After a Car Accident

Every accident is different, but our work may include:

  • Investigating how the collision happened

  • Reviewing police reports, photographs, witness information, and other available evidence

  • Identifying the drivers, insurance policies, and other sources of coverage that may apply

  • Evaluating issues involving fault and responsibility

  • Gathering medical records and information about treatment and recovery

  • Documenting lost income and other financial losses

  • Evaluating how the injuries have affected the client’s daily life and ability to work

  • Handling communications with insurance adjusters

  • Preparing and presenting the injury claim

  • Negotiating for appropriate compensation based on the facts, damages, and available coverage

  • Advising the client about the next step if the insurance company does not make a reasonable offer

Car Accident Claims We Handle

We represent injured people in serious motor vehicle collisions, including accidents involving unsafe or negligent driving such as:

  • Rear-end collisions

  • Intersection crashes

  • Unsafe lane changes

  • Distracted driving

  • Speeding and other unsafe driving

  • Drivers who fail to yield or obey traffic signals

  • Crashes involving uninsured or underinsured motorists when applicable coverage is available

The strength and value of a claim depend on the facts of the collision, the injuries involved, the available evidence, and the insurance coverage that applies.

A Car Accident Claim Is About More Than the Vehicle

Property damage is often only one part of the loss after a serious accident. Depending on the circumstances, a personal injury claim may involve damages such as:

Past and future medical expenses
Lost income
Lost income
Loss or reduction of earning capacity
Physical pain
Physical impairment
Disfigurement
Mental anguish
Property damage and other losses recognized under Texas law

The damages available in any individual case depend on the facts and circumstances. Our job is to understand how the accident has affected the client and make sure those losses are properly documented and considered in the claim.

A Firm You May Already Know

The Blacknall Firm helps individuals and families with important legal matters, including estate planning, probate, and personal injury.

Many people first learn about our firm because we prepared their estate plan, helped their family through probate, were recommended by someone they trust, or met Attorney Sharita Blacknall through the North Texas community. We want those individuals and families to know that if they are later seriously injured in a car accident, they can call The Blacknall Firm for help with that matter as well.

Our approach remains the same: personal attention, straightforward communication, and representation focused on the client’s individual circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

You should use caution before giving a recorded statement to an insurance company that may ultimately be responsible for paying your claim. Statements made early in the process can later be used when the insurer evaluates fault, injuries, or damages. An attorney can communicate with the insurer on your behalf and advise you about what information should be provided.

A disagreement about fault does not automatically end a claim. Responsibility may depend on the available evidence, including photographs, witness statements, the accident report, vehicle damage, and the conduct of the drivers. The facts should be reviewed carefully before accepting an insurance company’s position about fault.

Not every injury is immediately apparent, and not every injured person is transported from the scene. If symptoms develop after a collision, obtaining appropriate medical care is important. The timing of symptoms, treatment, and other circumstances may all be relevant when the claim is evaluated.

The damages available depend on the individual case. They may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, property damage, pain, impairment, disfigurement, mental anguish, and other damages recognized under Texas law.

Depending on the circumstances, other coverage may be relevant, including uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage under an applicable policy. The available policies and coverage should be reviewed before concluding that there is no additional source of recovery.

Texas law imposes deadlines on personal injury claims, and the applicable deadline can depend on the circumstances and the parties involved. Waiting can also make evidence harder to preserve. It is important to obtain advice about the specific case rather than assuming a particular deadline applies.
