DOG BITES

Did you know that over 4 million people are bitten by dogs every year? Sadly, the Humane Society says that, of those victims, anywhere between 10 and 20 will die as a result of a dog bite, most of them being children!

WHO WILL PAY FOR MY BILLS AND DAMAGES?

In many cases, the dog’s owner will have an insurance policy (or multiple policies) that may protect them for damages caused by their dogs. There are 2 major types of policies that dog owners purchase: (1) Homeowners/Renters Insurance and (2) Animal Insurance.

Homeowner’s/Renter’s Insurance
If the dog owner has purchased a homeowner’s or a renter’s insurance policy, that policy will protect the dog owner’s liability for your dog bite if the bite occurs on the owner’s insured property or premises or while the dog is under its owner’s control.

Animal Insurance
Some dog owners also have special insurance that helps protect them for injuries and damages caused by their dogs (and other animals). This is particularly true when the dog owner has had prior incidents involving a particular pet.

In order to find out whether your dog bite injury may be compensated by a dog owner’s insurance company, it is important to find out the name, address and phone number of the dog’s owner. Sometimes, the dog owner is willing to give you his/her insurance company’s contact information (don’t count on this) and if so, please have it ready for us when you call. If it turns out that the dog owner does not have insurance, you may still have legal rights against the owner to recover your damages.

The best way for you to find out who will compensate you for your injury is to call our Law Firm. We are tough and aggressive, and we will fight for you. Call our office to schedule a consultation.

Motorcycle Accident Attorneys: Have you been involved in a motorcycle accident?

Motorcycle accidents are quite common. The warm climate and multitude of favorable roadways make Texas a motorcycle owner’s dream come true. On the contrary, the unyielding traffic makes large cities national leaders in motorcycle accidents, rollover accidents, and car wrecks.

While it’s no surprise that motorcycle accidents can result in more severe injuries than conventional car accidents, what is not exactly common knowledge is that motorcycle accidents victims must often face immense aggression from insurance adjusters when dealing with their motorcycle accident claim. The motorcycle accident lawyers of our law firm understand the sensitivity of these cases and are prepared to stand by your side throughout the process.

Motorcycle accidents are not treated the same as car accidents

As unfair as it may be, insurance adjusters often see motorcycle riders as a tremendous liability and they tend to possess great bias toward them. They generally approach each motorcycle accident claim with the belief that motorcyclist was likely speeding and, at the very least, contributory negligent in their accident.

Unfortunately, juries also share similar views that embolden insurance adjusters. The end result is that motorcycle accident victims can expect aggressive opposition from an insurance adjuster which results in a higher percentage of denied claims and low payouts for injuries. More info here @ https://lawyers-pi.com/
The short answer to that question is that they are attempting to save money. An accident that would be considered somewhat routine in a passenger car can easily result in severe injuries for a motorcyclist. As a result, the average motorcycle injury claim costs an insurance company substantially more money than a car accident that results in injury. In an attempt to maximize profit, insurance companies try to pay out as little as possible in injury cases. Since the law is very vague in its explanations regarding the claims process, an adjuster can be extremely aggressive in order to force an accident victim to accept as little money as possible. They routinely use tricks such as a recorded statement or offering a payoff before you know the full extent of your medical expenses.

Our Attorneys Discuss the Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents

Surprisingly, many people often don’t consider 18-wheeler drivers to be at fault for accidents they might cause because the truck drivers are thought of as professional drivers. With their many miles and countless hours logged on the road, they should be counted among the safest of drivers.

In a perfect world this would be true, but, as the bleak realities of trucking accidents prove, this is not a perfect world. As such, there are many ways in which trucking companies tend to encourage profits over safety in the trucking industry. The Texas 18-wheeler accident attorneys at our Law Offices can help you understand the causes of 18-wheeler accidents and what you can do should you have experienced such a traumatic event. More information here @ https://lawyers-pi.com/truck-accident-lawyers-corpus-christi/

Like any company that relies on time and speed, trucking companies make more money if they can increase the amount of goods they transport and decrease the amount of time it takes them to ship their products to their final destination. Additionally, truckers are paid per mile, so if they can cover more than the average number of miles in a given day, they stand to make more than the average amount of salary for that time period. Even casual observers can see that this need for speed and efficiency has the potential to lead to problematic issues for the trucking industry, often resulting in negligent driving or truck companies that put the safety of their employees and the public at large beneath their need for profits. While legislators have provided rules and regulations to ensure that trucking companies are safely operated, this does not always prevent these companies from risking the lives of their employees or other innocent bystanders in the name of the almighty dollar.

What Are Some Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents?

With 20 years of experience in working 18-wheeler accident cases, the attorneys at our Law Offices possess the knowledge of a wide variety of causes of 18-wheeler accidents. Because of the size and speed of these trucks, these accidents can be devastating. Some of the following issues allow for negligent behavior to occur:

Drivers who continually exceed the speed limit in hopes of increasing their paycheck. 
Drivers that drive for too many hours and go over the federal recommendations for the amount of time they should drive per day. 
Improperly or untrained drivers that should not be on the road. 
Drivers without valid trucking licenses or those with terrible driving records. 
As another example of past negligence in trucking companies failing to maintain proper safety standards on their trucks, a study conducted by the Texas Department of Transportation during two summers revealed that one-fourth of all trucks inspected at certain checkpoints failed to meet their state-regulated safety protocols. These trucks were then decommissioned until they were brought into compliance.

Other causes of 18-wheeler accidents can include the following instances:

Improperly secured cargo or a trailer that is overloaded with cargo. 
Faulty brakes or other faulty mechanical parts of the truck. 
Driving while too tired to maintain proper attention to the road. 
Driving while intoxicated or under the influence of medication. 
Inattentive driving. 
Speeding. 
Bad tires causing loss of control.
