What If the Insurance Company Says I’m at Fault After a Texas Car Accident?
Not every driver tells the truth after a car accident. Some may deny responsibility, exaggerate your fault, or misrepresent the circumstances entirely, making it difficult to pursue a personal injury claim. Even if there’s no police report, video footage, or independent witnesses, you still have the right to seek full compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
Why an Attorney Matters When Fault Is Disputed
When the other driver or their insurance company claims you’re at fault, having an experienced personal injury attorney can make all the difference. Attorneys can:
Investigate the accident thoroughly: Gather witness statements, preserve evidence, and obtain surveillance or traffic camera footage.
Reconstruct the accident: Use expert analysis to determine the true sequence of events.
Challenge false claims: Identify inconsistencies in the other driver’s statements and rebut inaccurate reports.
Even if the police report assigns you fault incorrectly, a skilled attorney can present supporting evidence, consult accident reconstruction experts, and take other legal steps to protect your rights.
What Compensation You Can Still Pursue
False fault claims do not prevent you from pursuing compensation. With proper legal representation, you can recover for:
Medical bills and ongoing treatment
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering or emotional distress
Other damages related to the accident
An attorney ensures your claim is fully prepared and presented, even when the other driver or their insurer tries to shift blame or deny responsibility.
