Do You See a Lot of Wrecks?

It's not surprising that you would see a lot of wrecks as you travel in Texas. During 2008, according to records kept by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT):

One person was killed in a wreck every 2 hours, 32 minutes.
One person was injured in a wreck every 2 minutes, 10 seconds.
One reportable crash occurred every 72 seconds.

The total number of wrecks reported for Galveston County in 2008 was 4,773. The total number of wrecks reported for Harris County in 2008 was 71,610.

What To Do After You Have Been Hit

If you are still moving, stop your car. If possible, carefully move to a location that is out of traffic and additional danger. Try to stay calm and find out if anyone has been injured. Do not try to move anyone who has been injured. Call the police. Ask the others involved in the accident for their contact information. If you need medical attention, see a doctor as soon as possible. Contact your insurance company. Bailey & Galyen can help you determine if the other driver is at fault.

Common Causes of Auto Collisions

Did the other driver run a stop light?
Was the other driver following too closely?
Did the other driver crash into the back of your car?
Was the other driver speeding?
Did the other driver change lanes suddenly?
Did the other driver run a stop sign?
Was the other driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs?
Was the other driver going too fast for conditions?
Was the other driver using a cell phone? Texting? Not paying attention?
Did the other driver pull out in front of you without looking?

Settlements, Lawsuits & Verdicts

At Bailey & Galyen, we recognize that some claims can be settled for an amount that is fair and reasonable without the need to file a lawsuit. We prepare claims, submit them to the responsible person, and negotiate for our clients. If the Defendant, or very often their insurance company, reasonably evaluates the claim, then through negotiation a fair and appropriate settlement can be reached.

However, if the Defendant or their insurance company is not reasonable – either takes too long or does not offer a fair and appropriate amount – we file a lawsuit. Filing a lawsuit generally means that a different group of people for the Defendant will be evaluating the claim. Many cases settle for a fair and appropriate amount after a lawsuit is filed because a different person for the Defendant, or their insurance company, makes a reasonable evaluation of the claim.

If necessary, we are prepared to take your claim to trial before a jury. The following is a list of auto-collision injury lawsuits recently concluded by the Houston/Galveston office of Bailey & Galyen:
