Property Damage – Wayne Wright LLP Can Help
In most states, you have the right to recover bodily injury or property damages from the negligent driver. This means that there must be a determination of which driver is at fault. The at-fault driver is responsible for monetary compensation for your injuries and damages. However, even if the other driver is at fault and you have sustained bodily injury, the law does not guarantee a recovery. You, the plaintiff or injured party, bear the burden to prove your injury and that it was a result of the auto accident.
Injuries – Wayne Wright LLP Can Help
Basic elements of a bodily injury claim:
- Liability / Fault ~ There are various ways to determine liability: police or accident report; witness statements; and accident scene investigations. If two drivers say the other is at fault, the unsubstantiated word of one driver is not enough to determine liability.
- Injury ~ Injuries must also be proven, typically through medical treatment and medical records and bills.
- Monetary Recovery / Compensation ~ In a bodily injury claim, the at-fault person’s motor vehicle insurance is typically the source for any recovery. If the at-fault person does not have insurance or does not have enough insurance, there may be some other options for potential recovery.

The physician determines what is medically necessary. These doctors work with other specialists and with diagnostic centers, MRI facilities, therapists, etc.

Medical Bill Recovery – Wayne Wright LLP Can Help
Recoveries ~ We will present your claim for evaluation by the at-fault person’s insurance company and will negotiate the recovery on your behalf. This is a very involved process.
During your medical treatment, we gather all of your medical bills, records, lost wage claims and other evidence related to injuries sustained from the accident. We will determine from your doctor if there are any anticipated future medical expenses related to your injuries. Once you have completed your medical treatment, we compile and evaluate this information and present it to the insurance carrier in a demand package. The amount of money we demand on your behalf depends on many different factors.
Once the insurance company receives our demand package and evaluates your claim, they will contact a Wayne Wright LLP car accidents lawyer to begin negotiations. An insurance adjuster at the at-fault driver’s insurance company will contact us with an offer for recovery. One of our experienced Corpus Christi / San Antonio auto accident attorneys will evaluate the offer and may make a counter offer, negotiating on your behalf. There may be several offers and demands made. We will keep you informed of status and negotiations. The insurance company may also request additional information, lengthening this process.
