a full service legal team DEDICATED to personal injury
we earned the trust of thousands by doing everything we can to get what they deserve
Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers is well-known throughout Marshall and Texas for our ability to take virtually any car accident claim and find a way to bring it to success for our clients. If you were hit by a reckless or negligent driver, then you should come to our firm first for legal counsel. When our name is on a car accident claim filing, the responding insurance company – be it a nationwide brand like Geico or a local brand like Amtex Auto Insurance – will recognize us and know it needs to take the case seriously. Otherwise, it will have to prepare for a serious legal fight with experienced auto accident attorneys.
How did your car accident happen? We will ask this question at the start of your case and get to work investigating the situation as much as we can. The goal is to find evidence that proves you did nothing wrong, so the full liability of the accident will be placed on the other driver.
Causes of car accidents can vary, such as:
Driver distraction is incredibly dangerous and comes in many forms. Most commonly, though, drivers distract themselves by using their smartphones when driving. Looking at a text message for 5 seconds while traveling at highway speeds will make the driver travel the length of a football field “blindly.”
Drinking a single alcoholic beverage and then driving is completely unacceptable, and drivers who commit this illegal act of negligence know it, too. In other words, there is no such thing as safe buzzed driving.
Unsafe driving behaviors like speeding, tailgating, and changing a lane without signaling are terribly common. Unfortunately, they are also horribly dangerous and cause thousands upon thousands of preventable car accidents each year.
Were you driving when you suddenly lost control of your vehicle? It might be that an auto part abruptly failed on you, causing you to crash. If that happened, then the automaker who used the part could be liable.
When a car accident is caused by or worsened due to a defect with the road, the municipal department in charge of maintaining the road could be liable. Examples of unacceptable road defects include large potholes, missing guardrails, unclear lane markings, etc.
