At Roberts & Roberts we understand that any auto accident injury, even an injury that some may perceive as minor, can be devastating. Getting hurt in a car wreck can keep you from working, or taking care of your family or home, and doing the things you enjoy. Many injuries require expensive medical treatment and time to heal that you may not be able to afford.
The attorneys and staff at Roberts & Roberts understand your situation. We can help you get money to repair your car or, if it’s a total loss, replace it. We can help you get the medical treatment you need to get better and get your lost wages reimbursed. We’re here to get you back to doing all the things you need and want to do.
For those injuries that are more serious and that can cause disabilities or even result in the loss of a loved one, Roberts & Roberts has a team of experts ready to assist you in holding the at-fault driver and his or her insurance company accountable. We have experts who can reconstruct an accident scene and determine which driver was speeding or driving recklessly or failed to take evasive action. We can also investigate whether a product defect was to blame for the crash.
We have experts in rehabilitation who can tell if someone has been permanently injured and determine the economic consequences that will have on their future ability to earn a living. We have economists who can calculate the damages, including lost income, and we have life care planners who can forecast medical expenses of someone who has been catastrophically injured.

What Should I Do If I’ve Been In A Texas Traffic Accident?
After a car crash occurs, your first priority is to make sure that you and others involved in the accident get medical treatment for any injuries. You should still see your doctor and describe what happened in the accident even if you don’t feel hurt. Some types of auto accident injuries are not immediately apparent.
You should also report the accident to the police and be sure to get the names and contact information from any eyewitnesses. If you are able, take pictures of the accident scene — use your cell phone if a regular camera isn’t available.
It is essential to report the accident to your insurance company as soon as you are able. A delayed report could hurt your claim. However, you should not give a recorded or written statement about the accident until you have consulted with a qualified Texas personal injury attorney like the ones at Roberts & Roberts.
You should keep track of all receipts, bills, statements and other documents related to the accident and your treatment. It is also a good idea to keep a simple journal about your recovery and how your injuries have affected your life. Details could be hard to recall later.
If an insurance adjustor contacts you about settling your claim, don’t sign any documents without first talking to an experienced East Texas auto accident attorney. It’s the insurance company’s goal to make your claim go away as quickly and cheaply as possible, and signing a bad settlement agreement could prevent you from recovering all the compensation you deserve.
Do I Need A Lawyer For My Car Crash Case?
It’s not necessary to hire an attorney for every automobile accident, but you should always consult with a qualified personal injury lawyer after a wreck. At Roberts & Roberts the initial consultation is always free. There is never a charge unless we are successful and obtain a settlement or judgment for you.
We understand that immediately hiring an attorney may be the last thought on anyone’s mind after a car wreck or other collision; unfortunately, insurance companies move quickly to begin their investigation of the wreck. Delays in hiring an attorney after a car wreck can result in evidence being lost. Immediate investigation is important for determining who was really at fault.
There are many things we at Roberts & Roberts can do to help our clients, and the most important thing we can do is listen. We understand that someone who has been injured in an automobile collision has lots of questions and concerns.
While we cannot predict the future or guarantee results, we can try and answer your questions and keep you as informed as possible during the recovery process. It is our goal to address your concerns and answer your questions so that you can make informed decisions as we work together to get your life back to where it was before the collision occurred.
