Our Dallas Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help With Any Case

Having a team of Dallas personal injury lawyers to fight on your side to help you navigate the complexities of the insurance claim process, and personal injury litigation or settlement process can make a difference in your case. Insurance companies and adjusters have experience and knowledge settling claims and their interests include saving their company money, which conflict with the interests of victims and families who deserve the best possible settlement for their claim. The trucking industry is a big business. We fight big truck companies and insurance companies to help our clients get the best possible settlement permitted under the law.

Before You Accept that Insurance Settlement, Call a Dallas Personal Injury Attorney

If you’ve been recently seriously injured in an accident in Dallas, you may be overwhelmed with medical bills, pain, and the shock of having experienced a major life change. Insurance adjusters may have offered you and your family what might appear to be an attractive settlement. You and your family might be tempted to accept the settlement. But before you sign on the dotted line, you might want to pause and consider the following:

  • Does the settlement consider the cost of future medical expenses and rehabilitation costs?
  • If you or a loved one has been permanently disabled as a result of a car or truck accident, did you know that according to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, the estimated lifetime costs of paraplegia for a 25-year old are $3,451,781 and $2,123,154 for a 50-year old? More serious spinal cord injuries can cost even more. If you don’t know the maximum amount of money you might be entitled to receive and don’t have a good estimate of your lifetime injury costs, you might unwittingly settle for less than you might deserve.
  • Have you considered costs that aren’t always reflected by medical bills? These costs can include occupational rehabilitation expenses, lost wages due to missed time at work (and future lost wages), the costs of childcare, and pain and suffering. The Dallas personal injury attorneys at the Begum Law Group Injury Lawyers can estimate these costs and fight to help you receive the compensation you may deserve.

After serious accidents, personal injury victims may struggle to care for their children, go to work, make ends meet, and pay the added bills that can pile up due to medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses. A Dallas personal injury attorney may be able to help you seek compensation not only for your medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages, but also help you seek damages for childcare expenses as well as pain and suffering. The losses that add up after a car accident don’t always amount to tangible bills. They include lost opportunities to care for loved ones, major lifestyle changes, and emotional and mental distress.

Most serious personal injury victims have never had to negotiate a major insurance settlement in their lives. Negotiating a high-dollar value insurance claim is different than settling a smaller claim (like those for a fender bender). Insurance adjusters may require more supporting documentation, may fight back on fine points, and may use the fullest extent of the law to try to avoid paying top settlement amounts.

If you’ve been injured in Dallas, Texas, you may find yourself fighting insurance companies and adjusters to receive the settlement you believe you deserve. Or, you may even have already been offered a settlement from an insurance company and may not know whether you should accept it or not. Before you accept a settlement, you may want to speak to a Dallas, Texas personal injury attorney at Begum Law Group Injury Lawyers. We can evaluate your medical costs, the severity of your injuries, and calculate ongoing rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and more, to estimate the true value of your claim. Our Dallas personal injury attorneys fight negligent companies, insurance companies, and adjusters to help clients receive the best possible settlement they deserve under the law.

How Our Dallas Personal Injury Lawyers Prove Negligence

When someone else’s reckless or careless behavior causes your injuries or a loved one’s death, a personal injury claim helps you recover the compensation you need. This reckless or careless behavior is referred to as negligence.

To prove negligence, your attorney must show that the other party owed you a duty of care, they breached that duty, this breach caused your damages, and your damages require monetary recovery. In other words, a negligent party’s action or inaction was the direct cause of your injuries. You have limited time to file your claim, and you must contact a Dallas personal injury lawyer as soon as possible so they can begin building your case for compensation.

Call (469) 759-1323 for a FREE no-risk consultation. The Dallas personal injury lawyers at Begum Law Group will thoroughly investigate your case to gather key pieces of evidence, recruit expert witnesses, and interview witnesses who were at the scene to determine the root cause of your accident. In addition to fiercely representing clients during the claims process, we always ensure that you feel confident and comfortable too.

Personal Injury FAQs

How is Fault Determined?

Texas is an at-fault state, meaning the at-fault party is 100% responsible for compensating you for your injuries. However, there are cases where both parties could be partially liable for the damages caused by an accident or injury, which is referred to as modified comparative negligence. In this case, your compensation will be reduced by your share of responsibility.

For example, if your total compensation is $100,000, and you are found to be 10% at fault for the accident, you’ll only recover $90,000. Fault is ultimately determined by negligence. If you prove that the other party breached their duty of care and caused your injuries, you could recover total compensation from them.

What Can I Recover in an Injury Claim?

Each personal injury claim is different. Your total recovery depends on the severity of your injuries and whether you share responsibility. To give you an idea of what to expect, here are the following damages you might recover in your claim:

  • Medical bills – We’ll examine any medical records or bills that state the amount you owe to the hospital for treatment. Depending on your injuries, we’ll also assess your need for future treatment and any home modifications you might now require.
  • Lost Wages – Your injuries might have left you unable to provide for your family. Paystubs and other work documents could show the paychecks you missed while you recovered.
  • Pain and Suffering – Accidents and injuries can be traumatic. You might have lost enjoyment in your life and are suddenly overwhelmed by depression and anxiety. You could also deal with chronic pain from your injuries until you fully recover.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

When you’re struggling to get by financially after an injury, you’ll likely wonder if you can even afford a decent attorney to help you file your claim. The Law Giant understands your concern, and that’s why Begum Law Group Injury Lawyers doesn’t charge you anything upfront for legal representation, and you won’t owe us anything unless we win your claim.

Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

You may think you could recover total compensation by handling your claim alone. However, you have a better chance of recovering with an experienced attorney on your side. The insurance company is only concerned with satisfying their bottom line and will try to pay you as little as possible.

They often do this by contacting you immediately after your injury and pressuring you into accepting an insultingly low offer. That’s why you need a Dallas personal injury lawyer who understands Texas law and knows how to handle greedy insurance companies.

Do I Have to Go to Court?

A common misconception with personal injury claims is that you must always go to court. Most personal injury claims settle before they even make it to trial. Typically, we can negotiate for total compensation and settle your case without stepping foot in a courtroom. However, if the insurance companies refuse to make you a sufficient offer, we can pursue compensation through trial.

Once you recruit a Dallas personal injury attorney at Begum Law Group to file your claim, we’ll guide you through each step of the process. Our attorneys will investigate your claim and collect all the information needed to build your case against the at-fault party.

1. Initial Petition

Your initial complaint is a document outlining all the details of your case. This document names you as the plaintiff and the defendant who is legally responsible in your case.

2. Notify the Parties

After you complete the initial petition, the court will serve this to the parties named in the case. This ensures that all parties are aware of the claim against them.

3. The Defendant’s Response

After the petition is served to all parties, the defendant can respond. You could win by default if the defendant refuses to respond to the initial complaint.

4. Discovery Process

During discovery, your Dallas personal injury attorney at Begum Law Group will gather any evidence supporting your case, such as police reports, eyewitness testimonies, medical records, and more. This information will be exchanged with the other parties involved.

5. Pretrial Negotiations

During pretrial negotiations, both parties may discuss alternatives to trial and which pieces of evidence will be admitted in the case. This step may end in a settlement offer, and the process could end here. If the offer is insufficient, we will move forward to trial.

6. Trial & Verdict

At trial, both parties will present the admitted evidence to a judge or jury, and your attorney will argue on your behalf for total compensation.

The Dallas personal injury attorneys at Begum Law Group Injury Lawyers understand that you may be going through this process for the first time. If this is the case, we’ll ensure you know your rights every step of the way. The Law Giant handles each case with extreme attention to detail and executes a tailor-made strategy to fight for your compensation. Whether through negotiation or litigation, we’ll be prepared for whatever your case requires.
