Our personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of accidents and serious injuries across Texas.
Just because you were involved in a side-impact car accident does not mean you have a case. In the state of Texas, compensation can be awarded using the fault system. This fault system means that compensation is awarded according to how much you were found at fault.
However, if the same incident occurred but you were making an illegal U-turn at the time, you may be found to be 20% at fault while the other driver is 80% at fault. In this case, whatever the total settlement is, you would be awarded 80% of it, virtually the full amount less whatever percentage you were found at fault.
The first step after your accident is to call the police and seek necessary medical attention. Call the Brownsville Police Department and seek out a local hospital such as Valley Regional Medical Center, Solara Hospital Brownsville, or Valley Baptist Medical Center: Brownsville.
Next, discuss the case details with one of our experienced side impact accident attorneys to determine if the other individual was negligent and if you have enough evidence to substantiate that negligence.
We will tell you if you have a case and if you may (or may not) be found at fault. This way, you will know what to expect regarding a settlement. We will make it clear whether it is in your best interest to try and pursue compensation.
AT THE LAW GIANT,
We Win Big!
With thousands of satisfied clients, our attorneys have what it takes.
Following a devastating 18-wheeler accident, our client sustained life-altering spinal injuries. By illustrating the full extent of the truck driver’s negligence and the impact on our client’s health and future, we secured essential financial relief.
Compensation is determined based on the severity of your case. Determining how much compensation you can receive immediately following an accident can be challenging.
At this point, you don’t know the extent of your medical bills, the long-term financial impact that your injuries could have, or the amount of work you are going to miss.
After a car accident like this, you can receive both punitive and compensatory damages, both of which have state-enforced monetary limits.
If the other driver is found to be at fault, you may be entitled to all these damages and more. You may only be entitled to some of the damages if you are partially at fault.
If you fail to seek medical treatment immediately after the accident, you might sustain injuries that will worsen because they were not treated quickly. This will work against you regarding the percentage at fault you are found in your case.
The process will be much the same in terms of the steps that must be followed.
First, you submit your claim to the courts and/or insurance company, which is, in effect, your way of saying your side of the story. The other party or parties can respond within one or two months, giving their side of the story.
If a settlement is not reached immediately and the other party does not admit fault, the case moves into a discovery phase, which can last anywhere from 10 to 15 months, depending on the details.
During this part of the case, both parties will try to find evidence to support their individual claims or refute the other party’s claim. At any time during this process, the other party can choose to make an offer or settle, especially if they find evidence that severely hurts their case.
It is common for the other party to submit a motion to dismiss the case after the discovery phase, asking the judge to dismiss it. If the judge chooses not to uphold that motion and does not dismiss the case, it will move forward. Again, assuming no settlement is reached, the case will go to trial. Most trials take between seven and ten days.
Being involved in a side impact accident can be an uncertain time, especially if you’ve suffered physical injuries. If you want compensation for your accident, you don’t have to face the legal process alone. The Law Giant Personal Injury & Accident Lawyers are here to fight for everything you deserve.
