A car accident can change a life in an instant. One moment, you could be traveling to your destination, and the next, you could be facing injuries that will require weeks, months, or even years of recovery, and you may have to live with them for the rest of your life.
Additionally, you could be left with expenses for medical bills and property damage. Plus, paying for those becomes harder if you are forced to miss work due to your injuries. Our attorneys at Zinda Law Group can investigate your case and help you seek the compensation you deserve.
A significant number of automobile accidents result in immediate injury in one form or another. For instance, the driver of a rear-ended vehicle may suffer whiplash, leading to acute neck and back pain.
On the other hand, some car accidents result in delayed injury. For example, car accident victims may have sustained a spinal injury that did not manifest until hours or days after the collision.
Because both immediate and delayed injuries are prevalent in car accidents, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible following a wreck. Seeking prompt medical attention will allow your injuries to be properly treated, putting you in a better position to recover as quickly as possible.
File a police report
Another important step following a car accident is reporting the accident to the police. This is especially true for car accidents that resulted in substantial vehicular damage or severe physical injury.
A police officer will draft an accident report which will allow you to disclose all the important details relating to the accident and how it occurred. Because a formal police report will serve as an official record of the accident, the report may prove to be very helpful in eventually strengthening the value of your claim.
Do not admit fault
After the accident, you may be tempted to apologize to the other driver to deescalate the situation. Resist that urge. If you say anything that could be interpreted as an admission of fault, it could be used against you so that you cannot receive maximum compensation.
Document the accident
A critical step following any car accident is to “document the accident” by maintaining an organized, running file of every document relating to the car accident. This file should include important documents and materials such as:
Documenting these materials can be used as evidence to strengthen the value of your claim.
File your insurance claim
File your insurance claim soon after the accident to try and receive compensation from the other driver. However, be careful when speaking with the insurance agents and avoid admitting fault for the accident. Speak with an attorney to learn more about how to communicate with your insurance company after an accident.
Contact an Experienced El Paso Car Accident Attorney
Your final step following a car accident should be to contact an El Paso car accident attorney. In addition to providing valuable legal advice, an attorney will be able to utilize valuable resources which may strengthen the value and legitimacy of your claim.
An attorney can fiercely negotiate with insurance companies to prevent them from paying less than what your claim is worth. Finally, should your case go to court, an attorney will advocate on your behalf to seek fair and just compensation for your injuries and damages.

Zinda Law did an excellent job for us from start to finish. They communicated clearly and their staff was great! My son Nic was in a car accident and had an injury to his eye. Zinda Law took care of everything start to finish and obtained the maximum amount possible from insurance for his injury.
I am so glad I called Zinda law group. being hit by a drink driver was the worst experience of my life physically and emotionally. As soon as I reached out they got the ball rolling with all my medical needs. They were in contact with all of my appointments and made my recovery as smooth as possible. I would definitely without a doubt recommend them. A huge shout out to Shivangi for taking over and fighting for what my family and I deserved.
My experience with Zinda Law Group has been OUTSTANDING! Big shoutout to Joe Caputo and his team!I was the passenger in a terrible car accident that left me needing medical attention. The person at faults insurance company reassured me that my medical bills would be taken care of. However, that was not the case. I started receiving multiple calls from debt collectors, and bill after bill by mail. The driver’s insurance company no longer returned my calls, and emails went unanswered. I was so stressed and over my head with how to handle the situation. It was time to call the pros! As soon as I made the call to Zinda Law Group, Joe and his team I were on it! I no longer received calls from debt collectors, so I knew action was taken immediately. I was informed every step of the way, and every call/email was answered. Had I called sooner, I would have never gone through all that stress. I was treated like a friend, not just a client.Thank you Zinda Law Group!
I hired Zinda for a crazy situation involving an 18 wheeler where an object flew off a trailer and blasted through my windshield.I reached out to Zinda and spoke with Michael Cupero, my attorney at Zinda, after the accident once I realized this is affecting my day to day life in a significant way (PTSD from a "Final Destination" type of incident) and Michael was nothing short of fantastic through the entire process.The Zinda team, including Michael and Mary-Catherine Holt and several others, guided me through the entire process from initial settlement offers, filing the lawsuit, depositions, the whole 9.They listened to my concerns, provided clarity and perspective when needed, and not once did I feel that my best interest was not at the forefront of their actions and behavior through my experience as a client.Thank you Michael, Mary-Catherine and Zinda!If you want a team that will treat you with professionalism, respect, and understanding then do yourself a favor and reach out to Zinda!
Extremely professional and communicative . They explained the process as we went along and made it very clear weighting pros and cons. They understood my pain and my worries but kept their expertise always on the top of things finding elements for me to win my case. I am thankful to have had Zinda Law Group to support me during those two years as it finalized and I can keep on living.
My experience with Zinda law group has been wonderful from start to finish. Natasha and Emily explained everything very well and answered any questions I had, communicated well throughout the whole process , and handled the case very professionally, they worked very hard on my case I would definitely highly recommend to friends and family.
I found myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. After looking over reviews in the area, I decided to contact Natasha at Zinda law group in the hopes that she could represent me . Natasha put me at ease with her responsiveness and her ability to accommodate my last minute needs. I had no idea what to expect. It felt like a wave of relief knowing that you're working with a professional that knows what she's doing, and knows how to get things done quickly and efficiently. I appreciate the time and attention that Natasha put into my case. I hope I won't be needing their services again in the future, but I would absolutely contact them again if I do. Thanks again
I am very satisfied with the service and the outcome of my case.Since the first phone call, and every step of the way until the end, Zinda Law was on top of every detail pertaining to my auto accident case.The case is now closed, and looking back, they made every step of the process easy and manageable. They were very thorough in explaining the different scenarios, and extremely transparent with all the possible outcomes.Thank you to every person who aided in the success of my case, all of whom were exceptional in their tasks and working as a team.
The Zinda Law Group was outstanding in helping me with my aunts case. My two Attorneys Neil and Shivangi were very compassionate, kind, eager to help, and really listen carefully and attentively to my case about my aunt. My aunt got hit by a driver while crossing the street and killed. I went after the guys insurance; although, this doesn't bring back my aunt, but allows for this not to happen to other people like this in her case. These attorneys worked very hard and efficiently to bring the justice that they saw fit. When I had a question they explained in terms I understood and not above and beyond me. I appreciate it when people can come down to my level and not intimidate and use trepidation on someone in feeling like they are the fly while they're the spider waiting for the right moment for the fly to walk into its web.Neil and Shivangi always whenever they called asked me how I was at the beginning of our conversations and is there anything I needed at the end of each call. Each call they made to me, was made very professional, personable and felt heart felt as if you were part of the family. At the end of each subject matter they always asked, "Do you have any questions for me before we go to the next thing we need to talk about?" They always wanted to make sure I understood everything before the next item we needed to talk about. These guys really are good and want to please the client anyway they can I thought; when I first started talking to them. I give them above and beyond a 5-Star rating if there was such a thing. I Highly Recommend The Zinda Law Group to Anyone who needs them. This is what I give them if I could!!💯💯💯💯💯 and👍👍👍👍👍 and⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❗❗❗THANK YOU TO NEIL, SHIVANGI, MARA AND TO EVERYONE AT THE ZINDA LAW GROUP WHO WORKED ON MY CASE!! I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!
I would like to recognize a fantastic attorney named Joe Caputo from Zinda Law Group. I was involved in an auto accident that had many complicated moving parts that were hard to navigate and understand as a victim. Joe was so gracious and spent quality time explaining what courses of action I needed to take as a victim to protect myself. Joe was also diligent in following up with me regarding my case and provided guides and checklists that were extremely helpful to keep things organized and moving. Joe was always readily available for my questions and responded promptly. Joe Caputo's excellent counsel ensured I protected myself when dealing with the opposing insurance company and ensured the best possible outcome for my case. Joe's expertise in personal injury lawsuits helped alleviate the stress and anxiety that follows the aftermath of an auto accident. Thanks again Joe! You are truly an amazing, kind person and attorney!
Zinda Law was incredibly amazing. I had the pleasure of working with Michael and his incredibly hard working team after my wreck in November. They went above and beyond keeping up with my health, bills, insurance companies, all that fun stuff I had no time for. After what felt like such a short amount of time, they were able to win every last penny from the "bad guys" insurance (loved that term). I couldn't happier, and even though I went through something traumatic, it was still the best experience I could have ever asked for. Thank you Michael and everyone that helped with my case, yall are the best!!
My attorney was Christina , she and her team gave me the best outcome for my case .I am giving an honesty review at first I was very upset because I kept getting moved around and I never knew who I was talking to because they switch attorneys and kept changing my paralegals.. I was going to go with another law firm but Christina helped me with my case from then on out and she worked around my schedule to talk to me which I appreciate. Also my last law firm took 30 percent, and this one took 33 percent which I wasn’t to happy so just a heads up. Overall I rate this 4 stars cause I’m just happy the case is over with and I get to go back to my life.Update: I just received another call from my attorney and they have worked to negotiate my case with the billing and have put more money in my pocket. All the money that I had spent while working on the case has came back to me. I can fully move on and say that I have gain every penny that was lose during those hard times. I’m so happy and thankful to Zinda law group!!!!!!
Zinda Law Group did an excellent job with my case. The staff was super friendly and super effective as far as communicating with me throughout the entire case. I highly recommend Zinda Law Group for your next case and for any of your future cases. 5 Stars across the board thank you so much for everything!
Joh Harper, Priyonka Bhikha, and the rest of the team gave my case a quick and satisfactory conclusion. The attorney, Mr. Harper did an absolutely amazing job keeping me on the same page as far as the case goes. Honestly, if anybody is hurt in a car wreck or another personal injury case, I WILL STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SPEAK TO THEM.
I was in a motor vehicle collision about two years ago. From the minute I picked up the phone to speak with a representative to the case finally settling, it was a great experience. I worked with Burgess Williams and his team (Kathy, Ryan, and Linda) throughout the process. They were all very professional and helpful when I needed them the most.
Great Firm. I was in motorcycle accident- T-boned at a full stop with my daughter riding on back. Zinda's team was instantly responsive. Christina was very compassionate, organized and scheduled time before every legal event to discuss goals and overview. The process was 2 years but during that time the lawyers and staff (John and Shane were also great) were always available and understanding. The team is focused on doing what is right and by the book. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is suffering from a motorcycle accident.
Jason Aldridge and his paralegal Mara did an absolutely amazing job on my case. They were very responsive to all emails, calls and even texts. They treated me with dignity and respect from start to finish. I never once felt like my case was at the back of the list or anything. Not only did they explain and walked me through everything, they got me the help I needed and a final outcome over what I had expected. I would highly recommend this law firm, Jason and Mara to anyone seeking legal assistance.
Highly Recommended-100% Satisfied!.From the initial phone call I felt confident I chose the right firm. They explained the process and I was always in the loop, even when we were at a stand still. Very grateful I was quickly referred to them by a friend who had a similar case. Both of us are happy with the end result. Thank you!
My team of lawyer were very professional and communicated extremely clearly. They kept me updated on their status and did not make me worry at all about my situation. They explained everything to me very well and put things into simple terms for my understanding. I am very satisfied with their performance.
I would recommend them to anyone that's been involved in an accident and feels skeptical in engaging an attorney.When one gets into an accident, you're traumatized, confused, angry and helpless.That was me last year, getting all kinds of advice becomes your next norm, to use or not to use an attorney.I was in so much pain from my injuries but at the same time knew I had to act fast.I called Zinda Law Group for consultation, they took my case seriously and treated me with respect, they were very professional and understanding.Elizabeth, kudos to you, you're true to your word, Integrity should be your last name.Jason Aldridge my attorney went to work immediately, he assured me that all be well and I should concentrate on my healing and he will do the rest. Thank your Sir, You did just that.His team, Mara, Zuleyma and Andrew, they all become my support system, so professional and lots of respect in each and everyphone call or email. Thank you guys.I would recommend anyone to use Zinda Law Group.
I honestly loved not dealing with the hospital bills while I was recuperating. It gave me peace of mind going through this process and Zinda took care of everything. They found awesome health providers for me and haven't had to worry about anything while they've been taking my case. I've been well informed, communicated with, responded to and understood by Zinda. They have been efficient and effective while working on my case and I'm so glad I choose to go with this law firm.
When I was injured in a car accident in March of 2020 the insurance companies were not concerned with my well being. I called Zinda Law group & spoke with Reagan, who went over my concerns & later had Jono contact me. After reviewing my information with Jono my case was immediately put in motion. I worked mainly with Sam Thomas who truly was a blessing to me, he was very supportive & genuinely concerned with my well being, everything wasn't simply about the case it was about me being healed & getting the proper treatment that I needed. Sam was also emotionally supportive when I went through several losses in my family & is a great friend. In all everyone was extremely supportive & all worked for me which was quite a different legal experience for me from Law groups in my past. I was well supported, always informed, treated with respect & made the priority in all decisions. Zinda Law Group made sure I was compensated completely & that I didn't have financial stresses over hospital bills after all was said & done. Sam, Katrina, Mary Catherine, Reagan & Jono I just want to thank you & all of Zinda for the incredible experience & the wonderful caring people that you all are, you are truly Golden in your field.
They helped me after I got into car accident, they are such a great professional business. I would honestly recommend them to anyone that would need help after a car accident for sure, they kept me up to date with everything that was happening on with my case. I had multiple people working on my said case and they were very professional and nice whenever they had called me and kept it very simple for me to understand what was actually going on. I'm extremely happy that I had found them and went with them to help me and I'm so thankful for them. 10/10 would recommend!
I am so glad I got in touch with Zinda! My car accident occurred just 4 days prior to moving, during the busiest week of the year at my job, and just a week before the quarantine was declared a new reality for all of us. Everyone at Zinda remained persistent, supportive, and most of all advocated for me throughout such a chaotic time. I’ll always be grateful for the care they took to make sure my health and well-being were taken care of. So super grateful to know that a split second mistake someone else made doesn’t have to dictate my life. Thanks!
My experience with Zinda Law Group was better than expected. After an accident that totalled my car, I reached out and was paired with a wonderful attorney. She communicated frequently and responded to my calls and texts in a timely manner. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. I was kept in the loop during every step of the process. I would call Zinda Law if I ever need this type of support again.
I had an excellent experience working with the attorneys at Zinda Law Group! They were knowledgeable, professional and patient. They walked me through every step of the long process of getting treatment after my car wreck and kept me updated with timeframes and next steps. I would absolutely recommend anyone working with them!
They helped me with so much! I had a dog bite happen 2019 and it was very heart breaking! This law group made everything so easy to help me through a rough time! John Rogers and Shane Eckert were very easy to talk to and open about if I needed to talk about frustrations I had with bills. Everything got closed before Christmas and I was so blessed! I highly recommend them no matter what! Thank you guys so much!
Zinda Law Group helped me with my personal injury case after an auto accident. I was hurt pretty badly and I wasn't sure which attorney to call, I looked at reviews for Zinda Law and called right away.Kaitlin Nares and her team were so responsive and helpful. Kaitlin called me right away and helped me navigate through a very difficult process and time in my life. Being hurt in a car accident changes you!!! My case settled for more than I thought it would, and a lot quicker. I know sometimes things are more complicated, but my case was settled in only 3 months after my accident. Mary-Catherine was also so helpful in making sure everything was finalized! I have referred two people who have recently been in auto accident because it's not IF, its WHEN these days... I usually don't write reviews unless I feel strongly about sharing my experience to help others! Thank you!!!
I ended up getting hit by a car when I was at school at the age of 17. My whole life ended up changing after that accident and because of family matters I wasn't able to get help till I was 18. I found Zinda law firm and I can swear to anyone these guys will help you! I thought I wasn't gonna get justice till the members of Zinda proved me wrong. They got me all the help I needed and Justice was served because of them. I will forever be grateful!
I was referred here by a family member. Our lawyer jason and his team did and amazing job. They kept me updated in everything made sure I understood what was going on. My son was hit by a van in the hospital jason came right over. He's awesome so much down to earth straight forward. I would recommend him and his firm to everyone and I have thank you zinda but most of all thank you Jason for being there for us for being a friend
Zinda Law Group was recommended to me from another satisfied client and I certainly received excellent service. The attorneys and staff are very proactive with communication and I knew every step of the way what was happening on my case. I never felt pressured with decision making and they went above & beyond to answer questions with satifactory explanations. This is a very professional group of attorneys & support staff. In addition, they were willing to meet me at a location more convenient for me. I appreciated their concern for my time.
Could not speak highly enough of the firm. I was involved in my first accident and thankfully had Zinda Law Group supporting me through the scary time. Jono took care of me every step of the way. He made me feel like I was a priority through the entire process. A big thank you to Jono and the rest of the Zinda crew!
At this time we want to thank Zinda Law Group for taking our case and handling in a fast professional manner. During our tragic personal injury event we found comfort knowing Zinda Law was handling every detail of our case and exceeded our expectations. No one wakes up in the morning expecting tragedy to strike, but if it does we would highly recommend Zinda Law Group to anyone that should need their service. A very special thanks to everyone that worked diligently on our behalf.Sincerely,Blane and Cindy Colbert

What Compensation Is Available to Car Accident Victims in El Paso?
Compensatory Damages
An injured person may be entitled to compensation for their injuries and damages if that person can prove that the other party is liable for causing the accident. When calculating the amount of compensation to be awarded following an El Paso car accident, there are two forms of compensatory damages: Economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are quantifiable costs and expenses resulting from a car accident. In a car accident case, economic damages may include:
Medical and pharmacy expenses;
Lost income and lost wages;
Future economic losses; and
Property damage
As a general rule, severe accidents resulting in significant injuries and property damage lead to greater awards of economic damages than relatively minor accidents.
Non-economic Damages
Non-economic damages are intangible losses subjectively evaluated by a jury in a car accident case. Although non-economic damages are harder to quantify than economic damages, this form of damage can be greater in value than economic damages. Types of non-economic damages may include:
Pain and suffering;
Emotional distress;
Disfigurement and/or disability;
Loss of consortium; and
Loss of enjoyment of life
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are a form of damages that are not intended to restore an injured party. Rather, punitive damages are awarded to punish a wrongdoer. Although punitive damages are not typically awarded in a standard car accident case, punitive damages may be available in instances where the actions of the at-fault party were especially reckless, egregious, or intentional.
Nominal Damages
Sometimes a court awards nominal damages to a plaintiff to prove that the plaintiff was wronged even if the plaintiff did not suffer any financial loss. You could receive nominal damages if you can prove that the defendant was at fault but are unable to prove that you suffered an injury.
How Long Will My El Paso Car Accident Case Take?
The length of time that any personal injury case takes is going to depend on the circumstances of your situation. Every client experiences something different so until we know more, it’s very hard to give a definitive answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have To Make an Accident Injury Claim in El Paso?
A “statute of limitations” can be considered a legal time limit on which a person must pursue a type of claim. If the person does not bring a claim within the relevant statute of limitations, that person is effectively barred from litigating the claim in court.
In Texas, there is a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. This includes injuries that are caused by car accidents. This means that a person injured in a car accident must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident.
In cases of minor children, the statute of limitations is “tolled,” or extended, until the child reaches the age of majority or until the child is legally emancipated. The child then has two years from that date to pursue a claim. However, this applies only to claims that belong to the child and not to claims that belong to the parent. This means that while claims such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, scarring, disfigurement, and physical impairment can be brought by the child, claims such as medical expenses for the child’s injury (which belong to the parents) cannot be brought.
Because the statute of limitations is a very important consideration that must be taken into account when evaluating your claim, it is important to consider seeking the advice of a car accident attorney, especially if you think the statute of limitations period is running out. An attorney can provide you with legal advice regarding the status and viability of your claim.
How Do I Get My Medical Bills Paid After My Car Accident?
Usually a victim of a car accident will need to pay their own medical bills, even if someone else was at fault. However, an experienced personal injury attorney should be able to help you recoup those expenses in many cases. That is why it is important to keep track of all of your medical expenses. Read more about how to pay your medical bills after a car accident.
Who Is At Fault In A Collision Involving A Right Hand Turn?
Often this type of accident occurs when a driver fails to yield to on-coming traffic. In this case, the person stopped at the intersection could be at fault if they misjudged the amount of space they had to make the right hand turn. Read more about who is at fault in a right hand turn car collision.
What Should I Do If I’m In A Car Collision With An Uninsured Driver?
Remember that in order to bring a personal injury claim against an insurance company, someone has been injured due to the actions of another. If someone has collided with your parked car and no one was inside the car at the time, than you may have a claim for property damage but not personal injury. Read more about what to do if someone hits your parked car.
What To Do If Injured By Someone Who Was Texting While Driving
Most of us are not surprised to learn that text while driving is a common cause of motor vehicle accidents in El Paso and elsewhere. Here is what you need to do if you’re injured by someone who was texting while driving.
How Is My Case Different If I Was Hit By A Drunk Driver?
Unfortunately, we get asked this question all the time. These accidents can be complex and it’s important you speak to an accident attorney right away. Read more about what to do if you’re in an accident with a drunk driver.
