What San Angelo Residents Should Expect from Their Car Accident Legal Representation

Auto collisions are complex legal issues that require significant knowledge and understanding of the law. There are several common legal challenges your lawyer will need to know how to navigate. Each requires deep legal knowledge and strategic handling to maximize your claim.

Challenges your case may face:

  • Fault and Liability: Establishing fault is critical. Our approach includes a thorough investigation, gathering and analyzing evidence, and, when necessary, consulting experts to build a compelling case.
  • Insurance Negotiations: Dealing with insurance companies can be daunting. Our team is skilled in negotiating with insurance carriers to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve, not just what they’re willing to offer.
  • Medical Evidence: Documenting your injuries accurately is essential for your claim. We collaborate with medical professionals to ensure your injuries are properly recorded and your treatment needs are fully understood.
  • Comparative Fault: Texas law considers the possibility that both parties may share some fault. We adeptly handle comparative fault issues to maximize your compensation.
  • Filing Deadlines: Timeliness is crucial in car accident claims. We manage all deadlines to ensure your claim is filed within Texas’s statute of limitations, protecting your right to compensation.


A skilled trial attorney will be able to assess your claim correctly.

  • Diverse Accident Scenarios: Our attorneys can handle any situation with expertise and compassion, from minor rear-end collisions to catastrophic multi-vehicle accidents.

What is the Car Accident Claim Process with a lawyer?

You may often hear injury attorneys claim that they settle many cases. This isn’t necessarily a good thing. While going to court can be intimidating, it can also be the difference in your case that gets you the maximum compensation you deserve. This is in contrast to a lower figure that an attorney with few resources and the need to make a quick buck off your case will settle for.

If your case is being handled right, your claim will take time by moving through the following steps:

During a consultation with our San Angelo legal team, we will collect the necessary information about your case.

Next, we will being working on your case.

Most cases require a significant amount of work before filing a lawsuit. During this stage, we’ll investigate, preserve evidence, gather medical records, interview witnesses and more. We’ll also try to negotiate a settlement with the defendant.

If we are unable to resolve your case through pre-litigation negotiations, we may file a lawsuit.

Once served, the defendant will have a short period of time to respond to the petition.

Discovery begins once the defendant responds. Each side will exchange information through written questions, requests and depositions. In addition, various motions might be filed and expert witnesses will be designated.

Most courts require parties to attempt pre-trial resolution. This can happen at any time but often occurs after a bulk of discovery and motions are complete.

Yes? – Then you’ve reached a resolution. You will receive payment and can truly begin the healing process after an injury.

No? – Well, this is where having an experienced trial lawyer comes in handy. If parties cannot agree, then your Carlson Law Firm injury lawyer will present your case before a judge and jury.

Injured in a San Angelo Car Accident? We Can Help.

Texas has been The Carlson Law Firm’s home for nearly 50 years. We have represented clients in Tom Green County for that amount of time. Our team has watched as the traffic in Tom Green has changed from sparse vehicles to bustling highways full of 18-wheelers and other commercial vehicles. This increase has led to a higher likelihood of motor vehicle accidents. Like much of West Texas, San Angelo residents enjoy vast stretches of highways and speed limits higher than most other U.S. States. While many of these auto accidents are minor, some result in serious injuries or death. Further, insurance companies want to minimize compensation and the amount they pay you. In fact, what may seem like a fair offer is often significantly less than the sum needed to genuinely cover long-term medical costs, lost wages, delayed injuries or unaccounted damages.

When the insurance company tries to bully you into a settlement that won’t cover your bills, our team’s San Angelo Auto Accident Attorney has the resources to advocate for you in the courtroom.
