Carabin & Shaw

Laredo Personal Injury Lawyer

As a major entry point into the United States, Laredo is a city with a lot of traffic. Vehicles, trucks, 18-wheelers, and motorcycles must all share the roads and highways, making it the busiest border town in the country. All of this traffic increases the likelihood of accidents. With accidents comes the possibility of injuries to drivers and passengers. Fortunately, personal injury attorneys are available and ready to help.

Why Do I Need an Attorney?

Many people wonder if it’s necessary to secure the services of a personal injury lawyer after an accident. If you are the driver or a passenger involved in a wreck and have been injured, you want to believe you’ll be treated quickly and fairly. But this isn’t always the case. It is undoubtedly reasonable of you to expect the insurance company will handle your injury claim efficiently and quickly. If this is your experience, then you would be among the rare instances when that happens. All too often, though, an insurance company will drag their feet and spend an unreasonable amount of time to reach a decision. They may be difficult to reach, and even when you do, they may try to offer an explanation that they are still conducting their investigation or they don’t have all the information they require to make a final decision. The Carabin Shaw personal injury lawyer serving Laredo will make sure the insurance company gives your claim the attention it deserves. We are very familiar with the tactics insurance companies use to delay, to minimize the amount they pay to injured parties, and to deflect responsibility for compensating you fairly.

What Should I do After an Accident?

  1. First, check to see if you or your passengers are injured. If severe injuries are present, stay where you are and try to remain calm until help arrives.
  2. Second, if you have minor injuries or are not injured, move your car off the road if it is safe to do so.
  3. Third, if no one has done so, call 9-1-1 so the police and any other necessary emergency assistance can come and help.
