When a Car or Truck Accident Disrupts Your Life

After an accident, you may be dealing with medical treatment, missed work, vehicle damage, insurance adjusters, and uncertainty about how the accident will affect you in the months ahead.

At the same time, the insurance company is already evaluating the claim.

You do not have to handle that process alone.

The Blacknall Firm helps injured clients protect their interests from the beginning of the claim. We review the circumstances of the accident, identify available insurance coverage, gather the evidence needed to support the claim, document the client’s damages, and communicate with the insurance companies on the client’s behalf.

Our goal is to build a strong claim and pursue the full compensation available based on the facts of the case, the applicable insurance coverage, and Texas law.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle

The personal injury practice at The Blacknall Firm is intentionally focused on motor vehicle accident cases.

Car Accidents

Car accidents can result in significant medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and lasting physical limitations.

We represent people injured because of the negligence of another driver and help them pursue claims for the losses caused by the accident

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving commercial trucks can cause catastrophic injuries and may involve trucking companies, commercial insurance policies, drivers, employers, and other responsible parties.

These cases require careful investigation and an understanding of the additional issues that can arise when a commercial vehicle is involved.

How The Blacknall Firm Helps After an Accident

Every case is different, but our work may include:

  • Investigating how the accident happened

  • Identifying the people or companies that may be responsible

  • Identifying available insurance coverage

  • Gathering accident reports, photographs, records, and other evidence

  • Reviewing medical treatment and documentation

  • Documenting lost income and other financial losses

  • Evaluating how the injuries have affected the client’s daily life

  • Communicating with insurance companies and adjusters

  • Preparing and presenting the client’s claim

  • Negotiating for appropriate compensation

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

Clients should be able to focus on their medical treatment and recovery while knowing that the legal and insurance issues are being addressed.

More Than Medical Bills

The value of a personal injury claim is not determined by medical bills alone.
Depending on the circumstances, an accident may cause losses that include:

Medical expenses
Future medical needs
Lost income
Reduced ability to work
Property damage
Physical pain
Physical impairment
Disfigurement
Mental anguish
Other damages recognized under Texas law

The damages available in any particular case depend on the facts and circumstances of that case.

Our job is to understand how the accident has affected the individual client and make sure those losses are appropriately documented and considered when the claim is evaluated.

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 they need a will or trust, are dealing with the death of a family member, or have met Attorney Sharita Blacknall through the North Texas community.

We want those individuals and families to know that if they are later injured in a serious car or truck 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 your individual circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Blacknall Firm’s personal injury practice is focused on car accident and truck accident cases. We are not presenting the firm as handling every type of personal injury matter.

It is generally best to speak with an attorney as soon as reasonably possible after a serious accident. Evidence can disappear, witnesses can become harder to locate, and insurance companies may begin requesting statements or information shortly after the accident. Speaking with an attorney early can help you understand what information should be preserved and what steps may help protect your claim.

You should use caution when communicating with an insurance company that may ultimately be responsible for paying your claim. Statements made early in the process may later be used when the insurance company evaluates responsibility, injuries, or damages. An attorney can communicate with the insurer on your behalf and help you understand what information should be provided.

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

Texas uses a proportionate responsibility system. Being partially responsible does not automatically prevent someone from recovering compensation, although the percentage of responsibility assigned to the injured person can affect the recovery. The specific facts of the accident should be evaluated before conclusions are made about responsibility.

Texas law imposes deadlines on personal injury claims, and exceptions can apply depending on the circumstances and the parties involved. Because waiting can affect both legal deadlines and the availability of evidence, it is important to obtain advice about the particular case rather than assuming a deadline applies.
