McKinney Car Accident Lawyer
In car accidents, many people believe that if they drive defensively enough, they can avoid a collision. Unfortunately, other drivers' actions can be unpredictable, so an accident can happen no matter how safe you are. The most common types of car accidents that occur are as follows:
- Rear-end collisions
- Sideswipe accidents
- Head-on car accidents
- Multi-car pileup
- Rollover accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- 18-Wheeler collisions
- DUI accidents
When you have been involved in a car accident that is no fault of your own, our Dallas car accident lawyers will fight for you. We can help you navigate through the legal process, ensuring that you have the right tools to get the compensation you deserve. In most cases, the defendant’s insurance company will try to trick you into taking partial blame, which will cause your compensation to be less. We will fight aggressively for your right to fair compensation so you can focus on recovering from personal property damage, lost wages, and medical expenses.
Truck Accident Attorney in McKinney, Texas
Semi-trucks are the biggest vehicles on the road. Their massive size and power can turn even seemingly minor fender benders into serious injuries. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the following conditions and actions are the most common causes of semi-truck accidents:
- High speeds in inclement weather
- Improper maintenance of the semi-truck
- Fatigue of the semi-truck driver
- The driver of the 18-wheeler is driving under the influence of alcohol
- The semi-truck was following too closely
If you or a loved one was involved in an 18-wheeler accident, you will need to seek out legal counsel from an experienced truck accident lawyer immediately. Facing the insurance company can be difficult, and filing a claim against the trucking company or driver can be confusing. The accident attorneys at Hernandez Law Group, P.C. can help you identify which party is liable and guide you through the process of making a claim. Regardless of whether your case gets settled outside of court or if the battle gets taken into the court system, you can rest assured that our team will be with you every step of the way.

Unlike other states, Texas does not require private employers to provide workers’ compensation to their employees. Instead, it allows employers to opt out of workers’ compensation. Employers who opt out of workers’ compensation are known as non-subscribers.
What Is the Difference Between Subscribers and Non-Subscribers?
Texas does not require private businesses to provide workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. However, Texas does give incentives to employers for carrying this insurance.
Businesses that subscribe to workers’ compensation coverage are protected from lawsuits from injured employees, except in cases of gross negligence. Employees in businesses that have workers’ compensation can also benefit from the fact that the process of getting compensation for their injuries is a lot easier.
Businesses that choose not to carry workers' compensation have no legal protection against employee lawsuits. This is because the process for employees to get the compensation they need to cover damages and medical expenses is much more difficult. An employer being a non-subscriber does not mean they have no coverage at all. Some non-subscribers use alternative coverage options to keep their costs lower.
Regardless of whether an employer is using traditional workers’ compensation or an alternative option, sometimes the coverage isn’t enough to cover all of the work-injury-related expenses. Sometimes, the settlement doesn't account for future medical expenses or the loss of future earning capacity.
If your employer’s plan provides insufficient coverage, a lawsuit may be the best option to receive a fair settlement for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
