The lawyer can review the specific facts and circumstances in your case and pursue the options available to you.
Common Car Accident Injuries
Our attorneys also understand how car accident injuries can change the lives of victims and their family members. Suddenly, you may face a pile of medical bills and the inability to work. You may also be in a great deal of pain from your injuries and experiencing emotional distress. Burch Law Firm can help you to get through those challenges, including working with medical bill collectors on your behalf while we pursue your claim. We understand the medical and legal issues in cases which involve:

The attorneys of Burch Law Firm also work with families in Seguin who have lost a loved one due to the negligence of other drivers. We know how no amount of money can make for the loss of a family member. However, a wrongful death lawsuit can help surviving family members to pursue justice and secure funds that will help them as they move forward.
Compensation After a Seguin Car Accident
The lawyers of Burch Law Firm have achieved successful results for clients throughout Texas in a wide range of car accident cases. The amount we pursue on behalf of a client will depend on the nature and extent of his or her damages. The potential damages we can seek include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income

In certain types of cases, punitive damages may be available as well. These damages are not meant to compensate victims but to punish and deter those who engage in exceptional misconduct.
How Our Lawyers Can Help You

Steps You Can Take After a Car Accident in Seguin
As you move forward after an auto accident in Seguin, make sure that you take as many of the following steps as possible:
- Focus on your health. You should get medical attention as soon as you can. The longer you wait to see a doctor after a crash, the greater risk you take with your health. A delay may also affect your potential injury claim.
- Get a copy of your crash report. You can order a copy from the law enforcement agency which filed it such as the Seguin Police Department or Guadalupe Sheriff’s Office. You can also go online to get a copy.
- Keep all crash-related information. Hold on to your photos, witness contact information, medical bills, car repair receipts, auto insurance policy and other items related to your accident.
- Report the accident to your insurance company. You should make sure to report your crash to your own insurer. Your policy may require it. You will protect your right to file a claim with the insurer later on if one is necessary.
- Talk with us before you talk with the other driver’s insurance company. You should not give a recorded statement or accept a settlement offer until you speak with a lawyer first. Your lawyer, not the insurance company, will be out to protect your rights and interests.
