An unbiased witness to your accident can prove to be very beneficial to establishing liability of the other driver in your case. However, it is not quite that simple. Insurance adjusters will use the same tactics on witnesses in order to get them to unwittingly place some modicum of blame on you.

It is absolutely necessary that you elicit the help of an experienced Houston personal injury attorney who can make sure that the witness is properly coached in how to avoid the insurance adjuster’s tricks. Our Houston accident injury attorneys have been a part of thousands of witness statement recordings and deposition testimonies. We fully anticipate the questions that will be asked, and we can prep a witness to ensure that their words are not manipulated by the adjuster so that the truth withstands such tricks.

We were able to determine that the defendant's accusations of contributory negligence on behalf of he driver of the vehicle did appear to be valid and plaintiffs conceded as much. However, the plaintiffs were adamant that the contributory negligence did not entirely overshadow the negligence on behalf of the defendant truck driver.
