Car accidents occur in the United States on the average of one every five seconds. Automobile accidents don't just happen, they are caused!

Steven Toups knows how to represent injured victims in car accident cases.

It is extremely difficult to deal with the effects of a serious auto accident. The issues start immediately and include how to handle property damage, where to seek medical care, what to do if you have no health insurance, and dealing with insurance companies contacting you to give statements. Immediately after your accident, the other party, their insurance company, and their attorneys have already started their investigation which will be geared toward you receiving little or no money for an accident that was not even your fault.

Steven Toups has fought for the victims just like you for over 30 years to make sure they receive reasonable compensation for their serious injuries. Steven will personally meet with you from day one and will be there with you throughout your claim. He has a reputation and proven track record handling serious auto accident cases.

Contact Steven today to learn what sets Steven apart from other lawyers handling these cases.

Should I contact a Beaumont car accident attorney to handle my accident case?

The answer to this question is almost always yes. Car accident victims do not know, and should not be expected to know, their rights after an accident. If you do not hire a lawyer, you will be dealing with insurance companies and their lawyers who deal with the issues on a daily basis and their handling of the claim is to limit your recovery in any way possible. It is important that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident as the insurance company and their attorneys will have started their investigation immediately after the accident.

Please also remember that your claim has a strict statute of limitations after which your claim will be forever barred. In Texas, the statute is generally 2 years from the date of the occurrence with a few limited exceptions involving minors, incapacitated individuals, and active duty military. Contact me as soon as possible after your accident so that I may begin my investigation of your case. You can leave the legal issues with me while you focus on your recovery.

Hire a local lawyer with 3 decades of experience

Your case is too important to be handled by an out-of-town lawyer with no connection to Southeast Texas. I was born in Beaumont, attended Beaumont schools and graduated with high honors from Lamar University. After law school, I returned to my hometown to work as a lawyer and raise my family. I love Southeast Texas and love helping my fellow Southeast Texans who have been the victim of a serious accident. Don’t trust out-of-town lawyers claiming to be Beaumont lawyers. Ask them where they live, where they were born, where they work, and where they currently raise their own family. Let Steven put his 30 years of experience to work for you.

Auto accidents are too common in Texas

The Texas Department of Transportation statistics reveals the following troubling trends in 2022 regarding automobile crashes:
