Car accidents are traumatic events that can have profound and lasting effects on those involved. Beyond the immediate damage to vehicles, injuries sustained in car accidents can vary widely in severity and long-term consequences. At Rush & Gransee, L.C., we understand the complexities of these injuries and are committed to helping our clients navigate the legal and personal challenges that arise from them.
Head and Brain Injuries
One of the most serious types of injuries resulting from car accidents is head trauma, which includes concussions, skull fractures, and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Even seemingly minor head injuries can lead to long-term cognitive issues, such as memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and mood swings. TBIs, in particular, can have significant implications for a person’s ability to work and lead a normal life. Our experienced attorneys work closely with medical specialists so that our clients receive appropriate compensation for these debilitating injuries.
Neck and Spinal Cord Injuries
Whiplash is a common injury in rear-end collisions, causing strain to the neck muscles and ligaments. While whiplash may initially seem minor, it can result in chronic pain and decreased mobility if not properly treated. More severe spinal cord injuries, such as herniated discs or fractures, can lead to paralysis or lifelong disabilities. Rush & Gransee, L.C. advocates tirelessly for our clients to secure compensation that reflects the full extent of their injuries, including ongoing medical care and rehabilitation.
Back Injuries
Back injuries are also prevalent in car accidents, ranging from sprains and strains to more serious conditions like fractured vertebrae or spinal cord damage. These injuries can cause chronic pain, limited mobility, and may require surgery or long-term therapy. Our firm works diligently so that our clients’ future medical needs and lost wages are accounted for in their claims, aiming to alleviate financial stress during their recovery.

Internal Injuries
Internal injuries, such as organ damage or internal bleeding, often occur in high-impact collisions. These injuries may not be immediately apparent, which is why seeking prompt medical attention after an accident is crucial. Rush & Gransee, L.C. assists clients in documenting these injuries thoroughly to build a strong case for compensation that considers both immediate and future medical expenses.
Psychological and Emotional Trauma
Car accidents can leave lasting psychological scars, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. These emotional injuries are just as valid as physical injuries and can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. Our compassionate attorneys understand the importance of addressing these aspects of our clients’ suffering and work so that they receive the support and compensation needed to heal emotionally.

Financial Impact and Losses
Beyond physical and emotional suffering, car accidents often result in significant financial losses. Medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages due to missed work, and property damage can quickly add up, placing a heavy burden on accident victims and their families. At Rush & Gransee, L.C., we meticulously calculate these economic damages so that our clients receive fair compensation that covers all current and future expenses related to the accident.
Impact on Daily Life and Relationships
The aftermath of a car accident can disrupt every aspect of a person’s life. From the inability to perform daily activities independently to strained relationships due to the emotional and physical toll of the accident, the effects can be profound. Our attorneys take the time to understand the holistic impact of our clients’ injuries, advocating not just for financial compensation but also for the support and resources needed to rebuild their lives.
Legal Complexities and Insurance Issues
Navigating the legal landscape after a car accident can be daunting, especially when dealing with insurance companies and their adjusters. Insurance companies may try to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether, leaving accident victims feeling helpless. Rush & Gransee, L.C. has extensive experience negotiating with insurance providers and litigating cases when necessary so that our clients’ rights are protected and that they receive the compensation they deserve.

Time Constraints and Statute of Limitations
It’s important to act quickly after a car accident, as there are time constraints known as statutes of limitations that limit the window of opportunity for filing a claim. Missing these deadlines can result in forfeiting the right to seek compensation. Our firm is proactive in gathering evidence, documenting injuries, and initiating legal proceedings within the required time frames to maximize our clients’ chances of a successful outcome.
Establishing Liability and Fault
Determining liability in a car accident is crucial for pursuing compensation. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means that compensation may be reduced if the injured party is partially responsible for the accident. Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations, gather witness statements, review police reports, and work with accident reconstruction professionals to establish liability and build a strong case on behalf of our clients.
Negotiating Settlements vs. Going to Trial
Many car accident cases are resolved through negotiations with insurance companies, resulting in settlements that provide compensation without the need for a trial. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are prepared to take cases to court. Rush & Gransee, L.C. has a reputation for courtroom success, and we advocate aggressively on behalf of our clients to achieve the best possible outcome, whether through settlement or litigation.
Access to Medical Specialists and Resources
We understand the importance of medical evidence in proving the extent of injuries and the need for ongoing care. Rush & Gransee, L.C. collaborates with a network of medical specialists, including doctors, surgeons, and rehabilitation specialists, so that our clients receive comprehensive evaluations and treatment plans tailored to their specific needs. This approach not only supports our clients’ recovery but also strengthens their legal claims.

We provide compassionate advocacy and support throughout the legal process, offering guidance on accessing medical care, navigating insurance paperwork, and addressing any other challenges that arise.
