Q: Car wreck with a Government vehicle that police report shows failure to yield ROW on Gov. employee. Now what?
Car wreck included myself, my wife and child. I had surgery everyone else ok at this point. I don't understand a tort system and what to do next. I am out so much money at this point. thanks, Brandon
A: Your case will likely be governed by the Texas Tort Claims Act assuming the government employee was in the course and scope of his employment. You should hire an attorney with knowledge and experience in personal injury claims and claims involving the Texas Tort Claims Act.
A:
You have a serious injury and the government tort claims act is technical and can be complicated. Not a diy. Call a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults, and will charge a contingent fee.
As far as bills, you want to look at if necessary a medical assistance if Texas allows it for medically needy. Discuss these things with the attorney.
