The car accident attorneys in Fort Worth of The Todd Smith Law Firm discuss some of the common myths and misconceptions that surround auto accident injury lawsuits. Among these misconceptions are topics such as pain of injury relative to award, affordability of pursuing a car injury lawsuit and the “Automobile Black Box.”

¿ Misconception: If my injuries are not causing me considerable pain, I will not be awarded damages from a car accident lawsuit in Fort Worth.

Not necessarily! There are complex circumstances surrounding the severity of many injuries, not just pain. Head trauma injuries, for example, may not be apparent at the time of the accident or painful. The fact is that the impact that this type of injury can have on the quality of life could be monumental. This type of “painless” injury will require appropriate compensation.

¿ Misconception: If I can’t afford to support myself during the course of a lawsuit, even if I have a great case, I can’t pursue it.

Not so! If your resources are limited and you need help with mortgage, rent, living expenses, medical expenses and emergencies, you may qualify for litigation financing. Your legal counsel can help you with this option.

¿ Myth: The “Automobile Black Box” gives the same information as an Airplane Black Box.

Not exactly! While the “Automobile Black Box” can measure the wheel speed of a car, it cannot accurately determine the actual ground speed at which the car is moving. Often the ground speed is affected by highway conditions and other factors so this is technology is not as reliable as the Black Box in an airplane.
