A Frisco Texas car accident lawyer from Underwood Law Office can secure a financial recovery for you. Injuries or a loved one’s death may entitle you to coverage for your losses.
We stand up for people who have been needlessly harmed by others. Let us identify the liable parties and seek fair awards for you.
Types of Recoverable Damages in a Car Accident Case
As the location of more than 200,000 residents and countless visitors, Frisco sees many car accidents—and each one has a unique story.
Our firm will learn the facts of your accident, carefully noting the losses that you have suffered. We may recover compensation for:
- Vehicle repairs
- Replacement of your vehicle (if it is totaled)
- Ambulance transport
- Emergency medical care
- Surgery
- Medication
- Rehabilitation costs
- Medical equipment required for your injuries
- Lost income
- Lost earning power
- Lost bonuses and employer-matched retirement contributions
- Pain and suffering
Every victim suffers unique losses. It is our firm’s job to identify what your losses are.
What Is a Car Accident Case Worth?
The value of your losses will determine the value of your case. There is no standard value for car accident cases. So, our team will determine your case’s value by:
- Identifying every loss
- Determining how long a specific loss (like lost income) will affect you
- Projecting the future value of your loss
- Calculating the total of your present and future losses
The value of your case is the amount that we will seek through a settlement.
Will You Receive a Settlement for Your Accident?
Our team will do everything possible to settle your case. A settlement can refer to:
- Compensation given by the insurance company
- An award given by a court of law
Your lawyer may have one shot at negotiating a settlement. They will not leave the negotiating table until they have exhausted all efforts, including:
- Presenting witness testimony
- Presenting expert testimony
- Making oral points that support your case
- Presenting evidence of negligence
- Presenting proof of losses
- Explaining why your case is worth what it is worth
We expect pushback from insurance companies and attorneys. However, Underwood Law Office will not allow you to be taken advantage of. We will fight for every cent of compensation that you deserve.

What Should I Do After Getting Hurt in a Car Accident?
After their collisions, many clients ask us: “What should I do now?” So, we always tell them to take these steps.
Visit a Healthcare Provider
Each injury, no matter how minor, requires medical attention. For example, even a tiny cut could get infected if left untreated. In addition, when you visit a doctor, not only will they treat your condition, but the documents they give you could support your claim.
Take Photos Throughout Your Recovery Period
You want to show the insurance company that you sustained severe injuries because of the collision their client caused. Take photos of your external injuries during your recovery period, such as any bruises or lacerations. This way, you can present your case in the best possible light.
Keep Everything Related to Your Case
Underwood Law Office will investigate your situation and gather evidence. However, during your recovery period, you will likely get information related to your case, including:
- Your injury-related invoices, billing statements, and receipts
- The dates of your follow-up appointments
- The names of your healthcare providers and medications
- Photos of your vehicle’s damages
You’ll want to hand over any documents related to your case to your attorney. They can review it while building your claim.

Our Team Will Prove Your Case’s Legal Elements
The American Bar Association (ABA) explains the process of proving that negligence caused your accident. However, it’s easier said than done––especially if you don’t know what the process entails.
While you focus on healing, we will prove negligence by asserting:
- Another party owed you a duty of care. For instance, all motorists must drive cautiously on public roadways.
- The other party violated their duty of care by acting recklessly or carelessly.
- The other party’s actions caused your accident and subsequent injuries.
- You incurred various losses, including medical bills, lost income, and other expenses.
Proving these elements is central to your case’s success.
