You may have seen their expensive television commercials explaining that your always taken care of and in good hands.

That means that when your injured, it’s time for them to make money by paying you the least that they can get away with.

Medical bills from auto accident cases
After a serious auto accident, many people end up with medical bills that they cannot afford to pay. Emergency room visits, extended hospital stays, surgeries, and therapy sessions all place a significant financial strain on injured victims.
As we pursue your case, the auto accident lawyers at MRAS,P.L.L.C will help with coordination of medical benefits offered by your health insurance company, your own auto insurance medical payments coverage, and the liability insurance of the person responsible for your injuries. Our lawyers have a standing history in helping clients successfully manage their medical bills; we consider it an important component of providing our clients with complete representation following an accident.
The timing and selection of which medical bills to submit to which insurance companies can be crucial to the financial outcome of any serious auto accident case. The net result of your settlement may be greatly increased simply by managing these submissions properly.
Improper handling of these matters can also have a dramatic effect on a person's credit rating. Medical providers will threaten to turn these bills over to collection, and collection agencies will, after a certain period of time, report delinquent medical bills to the three major credit reporting agencies. There are, however, techniques to defer payment of the medical bills, have them paid by insurance, or, in certain cases, have the medical bills waived or significantly reduced. Our accident lawyers have refined these techniques over 30 years of handling accident cases, and we routinely use them to our clients' advantage.
Another common issue that pops up in most auto accident cases (and, for that matter, most personal injury cases of any kind) has to do with a medical lien. Most healthcare providers take the position that they are entitled to a portion of the injured person's recovery in order to reimburse them for the amount that they (the healthcare provider) have paid for medical care. Not all of these claims are valid, and it is important to have an experienced attorney analyze them. In many situations there is no justification for a lien at all, and in other situations it can be significantly reduced. This is a rather complex area of the law, and it requires the attention of a skilled attorney. The attorneys at MRAS P.L.L.C deal with medical liens on an everyday basis, and we have the experience necessary to stand up for your rights against large healthcare providers.
Seat Belt / Air Bag Injuries and Defects
In addition to accident cases, our attorneys have a great deal of experience in litigating cases involving seat belt and air bag malfunctions. It often requires an accident reconstruction expert to determine that an accident might have been caused by a design defect in the car or the tires, rather than by the driver. Our lawyers have demonstrated their technical expertise for many years, offering recoveries from many different accidents that go beyond a police report.
Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist Coverage
If the driver who hit you has no insurance or is underinsured, you may be able to pursue a claim with your own insurance company. Although the insurance company may have an obligation to pay benefits, the process is often difficult, and claims are frequently underpaid, delayed, or wrongfully denied.
Truck Accident Attorneys
Accidents involving 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, or semi-trucks are usually catastrophic. These cases are often more complex than car accident cases. The trucking industry is heavily regulated, and claims on behalf of injury victims in Texas can often be brought against both the truck driver AND the trucking company.
Victims of truck accidents are entitled to compensation for property damage, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and for permanent injury or disfigurement. Please be aware that adjusters and insurers may try to take advantage of victims who are not represented by an attorney experienced in Texas accident law.

What Should You Do If In a Truck Accident?
1. First and foremost, get appropriate medical attention. Your health is the first priority, as well as the health of anyone else involved in the truck accident.
2. Second, if possible, call the police. Truck drivers will sometimes accept responsibility at the scene and discourage you from calling the police. Then, after everyone is gone, they start denying responsibility. It is perfectly appropriate, and a good idea, to make sure the police come and take statements, investigate the truck wreck, etc.
3. If you are able, get the contact information for the truck driver and any witnesses. Get insurance information. Make sure that later on, you will have witnesses to back up your version of what happened.
4. Take photographs if possible. Photos are almost always helpful. Like they say, "a picture says a thousand words." This is true with truck accident cases particularly. It is difficult for a truck driver to claim that he or she wasn't at fault when the pictures show otherwise.
5. Consider getting legal advice if you believe you have serious injuries. The trucking companies and their insurance companies almost never offer fair settlements unless a lawsuit is filed and a trial date is scheduled. And most personal injury lawyers, including our firm, offer free initial consultations to let you know what your options are.
