For nearly 50 years, The Carlson Law Firm has provided top-tier representation for car accident victims, demonstrating the expertise that sets us apart in the field.

Passenger Vehicle Wrecks

Passenger vehicle wrecks can result in significant injuries and property damage, often requiring a skilled attorney to navigate insurance claims.

18-wheeler crashes

An 18-wheeler crash can cause catastrophic damage and severe injuries, necessitating experienced legal representation from a law office to address the complexities of such accidents.

Pedestrian Crash

Pedestrians have no protection against large vehicles or motorcycles. Unfortunately, nearly 6,000 pedestrian deaths occur annually in the U.S. Our compassionate legal team can help.

Multiple Vehicle Collision

Multiple vehicle collisions, or pile-ups, involve numerous parties and can be legally complex, often requiring a skilled attorney to sort out liability and damages for all involved.

Single Vehicle wrecks

Many people don't realize that single vehicle wrecks may often be the result of a defective vehicle. If you had a single vehicle wreck and are unsure how the wreck occured, a lawyer can help.

Car Fires

If a car catches on fire after a collision, you are entitled to more than insurance limits. The Carlson Law Firm is one of the only firms in the Texas Hill Country with the skills and resources to take on these major claims.

Rideshare Crash

Rideshare crashes involve unique legal challenges, as liability can be divided between drivers and rideshare companies, requiring the specialized knowledge of a Kerrville Car Accident Lawyer to navigate these cases.

Drunk Driving Wrecks

Drunk driving accidents are responsible for nearly one-third of all traffic-related deaths. They are preventable tragedies that need strong legal action from a auto accident attorney against the responsible parties.

Bad Weather Wrecks

Drivers should exercise caution in bad weather. Unfortunately, approximately 21% of all vehicle crashes are related to poor weather conditions. Our attorneys are ready to review the facts of the case to get you every penny you deserve.

Delivery Truck Crashes

A motor vehicle crash with delivery trucks, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS and Amazon, can have devastating and lasting effects on your life. A Kerrville car accident attorney can help.

Commercial Vehicle Crash

All 18-wheelers are commercials vehicles, but not all commercial vehicles are 18-wheelers. Sometimes a company vehicle can be hard to spot. It's important to meet with an attorney to find all liable parties.

Motorcycle Wrecks

The Carlson Law Firm has recovered millions for those injured in motorcycle wrecks. Bikers who've been the victim of a passenger or commercial vehicle crash should meet with an attorney immediately following a crash to preserve evidence.

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 Kerrville legal team, we will collect the necessary information about your case.

Next, we will begin 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.

FAQs: Car Accident Injury Representation

  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Disfigurement
