Accidents happen, but most personal injury lawyers realize that they do not happen by chance. Besides injuries caused by weather related natural occurrences like the dust storms that frequently blow through many Lubbock communities during the spring, most personal injury accidents are caused by someone's negligence. Examples of negligent acts that often lead to accidents are texting while driving, failing to catch a defective product during manufacturing quality assurance activities, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, operating machinery while fatigued and the list can go on and on. When a person who is injured in an accident seeks to file a claim for damages, they must unearth evidence to support their claim and be able to present their findings to a judge or jury in a logical manner. These activities can be daunting tasks for potential plaintiffs who are already coping with injuries. However, accident victims do not have to work alone. Here are some of the things that an accident victim can expect to encounter during the fact finding phase of their case as well as ways that an experienced personal injury attorney like those at Doan Law Firm can help.
