While it’s a human instinct to express concern, saying “I’m sorry” can be misconstrued as an admission of guilt. In the eyes of the law, an apology may be considered an admission of liability, which can jeopardize your claim. It’s best to limit communication at the scene to the exchange of necessary information and to avoid making statements that suggest fault.

Understanding the nuances of auto insurance can be a daunting task for many drivers in Texas. Among the myriad of options and coverages, Personal Injury Protection coverage (PIP) and Medical Payments (MedPay) stand out as crucial components of a well-rounded auto insurance policy. This article aims to demystify these two types of coverage, providing Texas drivers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their insurance needs.

In the Lone Star State, where the open road beckons and the highways stretch endlessly, the unexpected can happen at any moment. Whether you’re navigating the bustling streets of Houston, the scenic routes of the Hill Country, or the busy corridors of Dallas-Fort Worth, being prepared for any eventuality is not just a recommendation, it’s a necessity. This is where PIP and MedPay come into play, offering a safety net that can make a significant difference in the aftermath of an auto accident.

Read the article to learn more about PIP coverage and Medpay in Texas.

While you can’t control what the other person does, you should always leave your information with the other driver. This includes your name and your insurance policy number. The other driver should do the same. If they don’t, you should let the police know.

We are thrilled to welcome Case Manager, Diana Porcayo, to the Varghese Summersett Personal Injury team. Diana was brought on board to make a positive impact and empower our clients. Welcome Diana!

When a patient is rushed by ambulance to the hospital, chances are they aren’t thinking about the cost of the ride or whether the ambulance provider is “in-network.” Their immediate concern is receiving emergency care.

Weeks or months later, they get hit with a surprise ambulance bill, usually thousands of dollars. The pain and stress of the initial emergency now have an added layer: financial hardship.

Fortunately, Texas has made it tougher for ambulance providers to blindside you with a surprise bill. On January 1, 2024, a new law went into effect preventing surprise ambulance bills for patients with state health insurance plans.

During the 88th Texas Legislature, lawmakers passed Senate Bill 2476, which prohibits out-of-network ambulance providers from sending patients surprise bills and requires insurers to cover the costs based on local rates set by counties and cities. If there isn’t a local ambulance rate, the insurers will pay the lesser of the 325 percent of the Medicare reimbursement rate or the full bill charged.

In this article, the personal injury team at Varghese Summersett explain the problem with surprise billing, the new law, and what it means for Texans.

Delighted by this stellar client review!

Just as much as the police are unlikely to come out to the scene of an everyday accident, you do need to know what to communicate to the dispatcher or call-taker when there’s a situation that warrants the police coming out – and it isn’t just when someone has been injured. Those instances are:

-there is reason to believe the other driver had been drinking
-there is reason to believe the other driver was under the influence of drugs
-the other driver left the scene without stopping
-the other driver left the scene without giving you their information

It’s a story we hear far too often from clients: “I got into a car accident and thought I was okay, but the next day, I could hardly move.”

Delayed pain after a car accident is extremely common. After a traumatic event, our bodies release adrenaline and endorphins that can mask pain and symptoms. These natural responses help us act quickly in dangerous situations but can also delay the recognition of injuries.

If you or a loved one is experiencing delayed pain after a car accident caused by another driver, there are two things you should do next: Seek immediate medical attention and contact an experienced personal injury lawyer.

In this article, the team at Varghese Summersett Injury Law Group explains the hidden impact of delayed pain after a car accident, what steps you should take if you have been injured in a wreck, and how our Texas law firm can help.

One of the first things a lot of people do after an accident is to call the police. The reality is the police generally won’t come out to the scene of an auto accident unless someone has been injured. Know that in Texas, you can fill out a blue form and turn it into the police department to report the accident yourself.

After securing everyone’s safety, shift your focus to documenting the scene. Here are some important steps to follow:

Capture detailed photos of the scene, including all vehicles involved, visible damage, road conditions, and street signs.
If there are any visible injuries, photograph them as well.
Take notes on any important details, such as the time of the accident, weather conditions, and any witness statements.
In this digital age, various apps can be handy in documenting the accident scene.

If multiple people, or even an entire family, are injured or killed in an accident or due to the fault of another person, one very real concern is whether the other person’s insurance has enough coverage to resolve all the claims. This is particularly true when the individual claims are completely independent. In other words, if one driver causes injuries to passengers in two vehicles and the injuries in each vehicle could independently exceed policy limits, who gets the settlement? In this article, we will explain what happens when multiple people or family members are injured in an accident based on developments in Texas law and the Texas Supreme Court “Soriano” case.

Partner Ty Stimpson coming in with gratifying results, yet again!

Not leaving the scene of an accident before documenting it, especially by making a quick video, is important for several reasons. Filming immediately captures the exact condition and positions of the vehicles and surroundings. This initial state can be crucial for understanding how and why the accident happened. A video provides independently verifiable evidence. It’s more objective than memory or verbal accounts, which can be influenced by stress or differing perspectives. It prevents any misunderstandings or misrepresentations of the accident’s circumstances by any involved party.
