Work accidents commonly lead to injury, and even death. These on the job accidents can occur at any job. Many of us work in industrial environments, such as oil fields or metal fabrication shops. Any job that exposes us to heavy equipment, or equipment that uses large amounts of force or torque, exposes us to danger. On the job injuries many also happen in cars or other settings. Any of these can cause serious injury or death.

You depend on the other person to have insurance to pay for your losses when they hit you. The law requires us to buy a minimal policy with limits of $30,000.00 to pay for injuries to any one person and $25,000.00 to pay for property damage. Being hit by someone who has no insurance, or does not have enough insurance, is frustrating. There are, however, steps which can be taken.

The first step is to look under every stone for insurance coverage. Many times the driver is not the owner of the car they were driving. If they borrowed the car from someone who is not a relative living in the same household, then there may be insurance in the driver’s household that covers them.

If there is no insurance, then the driver who caused the accident may have to pay out of their own pocket. Tate Rehmet Law Office has forced individuals to pay out of their own pocket on several occasions.

The car accident lawyers at Tate Rehmet Law Office see more than their fair share of car wrecks in and around the Texoma area. Although each accident is unique, one fact is almost universally true in every collision: car accidents happen when drivers do not follow safety rules. When people fail to obey safety rules they become negligent and are responsible for any damage or harm caused. Negligence is simply the legal term for failing to drive in a safe manner.

Health Insurance allows many injured people access to medical care. Without insurance, access to medical care can be difficult or impossible. Even those with health insurance may not be able to pay the high deductibles required by their policies. Our personal injury lawyers in Sherman understand how difficult access to medical care can become. A letter of protection can be used to get access to medical care in lieu of health insurance. A letter of protection is a letter from our office to a medical provider promising to pay the provider’s bills out of settlement or judgment money. This letter can be used to help gain access to doctors, therapists, radiologists, and pharmacies. We are familiar with many of the medical providers in this area and can talk with you about which doctor or medical provider is most appropriate, as well as the best way to pay for that medical care.

Drunk driving, or DWI, happens all too often, frequently leading to auto wrecks caused by the drunk driver. Sadly, as of 2009, Texas was ranked 45th in highway safety by MADD (Mother’s Against Drunk Driving) with 1,235 people killed by drunk drivers during that year. Many more people have been injured by intoxicated drivers. Alarmingly, according to MADD, the average drunk driver has driven under the influence of alcohol 80 times before being arrested. Our Sherman injury attorneys aggressively pursue personal injury claims against drunk drivers. With rare exception, we file suit against the drunk driver, usually immediately after the client retains our firm.

Chris Rehmet, a lawyer at Tate Rehmet Law Office, is a former criminal prosecutor who convicted many drunk drivers of the crime of DWI. He is very familiar with DWI investigation and evidence. In addition, Chris is an active volunteer with MADD in Grayson County, and regularly speaks to those individuals convicted of DWI in Grayson County about the potential civil liability of driving under influence and causing personal injuries to another. Our personal injury lawyers hold drunk drivers accountable and force those who commit the crime of DWI to meet their responsibility for the auto collisions and personal injuries they cause.

Tate Rehmet Law Office has forced several drunk drivers to pay money out of their own pockets, above and beyond the available insurance limits. If you are hurt in a car wreck caused by a drunk driver, please call. You have power over the drunk driver. The drunk drivers’ financial future is in your control. Our personal injury attorneys will talk to you about DWI and explain why you have this power, and how to use it. If a family member has been killed by a drunk driver, we will discuss the legal implications, but our accident attorneys in Sherman will also direct you to resources in Grayson, Fannin, or Cooke County that might help you with your emotional loss. The initial call, consultation, and investigation are free of charge. Please do not hesitate to contact us by calling (903) 892-4440 or using the contact form below to send the details of the drunk driving accident to our attorneys, and we will contact you promptly.

A defective product, or a dangerous product, is a product which was not built according to the design, or the design itself was flawed before the item was constructed.

Our injury law firm has helped many clients with defective product cases, including defects in cars, tires, flammable clothing, and hydraulic cylinders. More specifically, we have helped clients who were seriously injured in Sherman from the failure of a hydraulic cylinder which was lifting a large wing on a bat wing mower, a child that was severely burned in Sherman while wearing pajamas that did not meet federal flame retardant standards, and the wrongful death of minor children who were killed when a steering mechanism in a car failed.

All of these accidents and the resulting injuries occurred in the Sherman/Denison area. Our personal injury lawyers were able to assist each client, helping guide them through the aftermath.

Automobile drivers have a duty to look out for motorcycles, but often do not look carefully enough. When this happens, the motorcyclist is exposed to serious injury, or even death. Adding insult to injury, the motorcyclist, who was doing nothing wrong, is often blamed for causing the wreck, and accused of speeding. This happens because the auto driver can’t explain why they did not see the motorcycle. In reality, the auto driver did not look carefully enough. When the car driver tells the police and insurance companies the wreck was caused by the motorcyclist, the police write unfavorable reports, and insurance companies deny claims that should be paid.

The personal injury lawyers at Tate Rehmet Law Office help injured motorcyclists pursue recovery of their loss, and handle wrongful death suits for the family members of motorcyclists who are killed. If you are hurt in a motorcycle wreck, or if your family member has been killed in a motorcycle accident, please contact us.
