About Auto Accidents

The Wreck Ends. The Claim Starts.

The crash is loud. The claim is quiet.

That is where people get hurt twice.

The other driver says they did not see you. Their insurance company calls before you know how bad your neck feels. The police report misses a witness. Your car gets hauled off. A camera down the street records over the footage. The adjuster asks for a statement like it is no big deal.

It is a big deal.

Once the insurance company gets involved, every detail starts getting sorted into a file. Not your pain. Not your life. A file. Their job is to make that file worth less.

Malley Law handles auto accident cases across Texas involving car accidents, truck accidents and motorcycle accidents. These cases are built with proof: crash reports, photos, witness names, vehicle damage, medical records, treatment timelines, phone data, insurance letters, black box data and the small facts that show what really happened. Free consultation. No fee unless we win.

Auto Accident?

What to Do Before the Story Gets Away From You

  1. Call Malley Law early. Evidence has a short shelf life. Video disappears. Cars get repaired. Witnesses forget. Trucking companies know what to protect. Insurance companies know what to ask before you are ready.
  2. Keep every scrap. Police report, photos, ER papers, prescriptions, repair estimates, tow records, insurance letters, work notes, bills, texts. Keep it all. The boring paper is often where the case gets traction.
  3. Write it down now. Where you were. What lane you were in. What the other driver did. What they said after the crash. Who stopped. What hurt that day. What hurt the next morning. Memory does not stay clean.
  4. Do not help the adjuster build their file. Recorded statements sound routine until they are used against you. So do medical authorizations and quick settlement forms. Let us see it first.
  5. Do not let “minor” become the frame. Minor damage. Minor delay. Minor treatment. Minor impact. Insurance companies use small words early because they want small numbers later.

When the Insurance Company Starts Cutting the Case Down

Insurance companies do not usually deny reality all at once. They trim it.

They say the crash was not that bad. They say you waited too long. They say the pain was already there. They say the bills are too high. They say the treatment went too long. They say the police report does not prove enough. They say you should have seen the other driver coming.

A serious auto accident case has to answer the questions they would rather blur. Who caused the crash? What did the impact do? What did the doctors find? What changed after the wreck? What did it cost? What will it keep costing?

Malley Law builds the record before the insurance company turns your injury into a discount.

What We Handle

Types of Auto Accident Claims

When someone else’s mistake becomes your problem.

Car wrecks happen because people look down, follow too close, run lights, drift lanes, speed, drink, rush turns and make bad decisions in traffic. The insurance company may call it a standard claim. There is nothing standard about losing your car, missing work, sitting in waiting rooms and trying to sleep with pain that was not there before.

When the crash comes with a company behind it.

Truck wrecks have more moving parts and more people trying to avoid blame. Driver logs. Dispatch records. Maintenance files. Inspection reports. Black box data. Cargo issues. Safety policies. Multiple insurance companies. Sometimes more than one defendant.
Trucking companies know what evidence matters. Tony moves before that evidence gets lost, overwritten or explained into something cleaner.

When the rider gets judged before the facts come out.

Motorcycle riders get blamed fast. The driver says the bike came out of nowhere. The insurance company starts looking for speed, lane position, gear, helmet use or anything else that shifts attention away from the driver who caused the wreck.
Tony does not let the case become a referendum on riding. The question is simpler: who failed to drive safely?

Before They Minimize It

What Families Need to Know About Auto Accident Claims

  • What should I do after an auto accident?
    Get medical care, report the crash, take photos if you can, get witness names and save every document. Then call Malley Law before you give a recorded statement or accept an offer.
  • When should I call an auto accident lawyer?
    Call when there is injury, missed work, medical treatment, disputed fault, a totaled vehicle, a commercial truck, a motorcycle crash or pressure from insurance. Waiting usually helps the insurance company, not you.
  • What records matter most after a crash?
    The police report, crash photos, vehicle damage photos, medical records, bills, prescriptions, repair estimates, tow records, insurance letters, witness names, dashcam footage, surveillance footage and written communication with the adjuster.
  • What if the insurance company says the crash was minor?
    They can say it. That does not make it true. A bumper does not tell the whole story of a neck, back, shoulder, knee or head injury. The medical record matters. So does what the injury did to your life.
  • What if I felt okay at the scene?
    That happens. Adrenaline lies. Pain can show up later, especially with neck injuries, back injuries, headaches, concussions, numbness and shoulder pain. Get checked and document when symptoms started.
  • Should I give a recorded statement?
    Not before talking to the firm. Recorded statements are not harmless. They can be used to lock you into incomplete details or make normal confusion sound like a problem.
  • What if the other driver blames me?
    Let them. Their story is not the case. Fault can be tested with photos, vehicle damage, witness statements, traffic cameras, phone records, crash reports and reconstruction when needed.
  • What if a commercial truck hit me?
    Move fast. Truck cases can involve black box data, driver logs, maintenance records, inspection reports, dispatch messages and company safety policies. Those records need to be preserved before they disappear.
  • What if I was on a motorcycle?
    Expect bias. Insurance companies often treat riders like they were asking for it. Malley Law builds the case around the driver’s conduct, the crash evidence and the actual injuries.
  • What can I recover after an auto accident?
    Depending on the case, recovery may include medical bills, future care, lost wages, loss of earning ability, pain, physical impairment, disfigurement, property damage and the daily losses that do not fit neatly on a bill.
