This page is not meant to provide legal advice. Rather, it provides a list of frequently asked questions and general answers about personal injury.
It’s a legal theory used in nearly all personal injury claims and lawsuits. Unless there’s evidence the other party intentionally hurt you, you would have a negligence claim. If you make a personal injury claim or file a lawsuit, the burden would be on you to prove:
If you can carry the burden of proof, you have a successful negligence claim.
A negligence claim is based on the evidence in your case. Does it show that the other party:
Accident reconstruction experts are often used in negligence cases. They give their opinion that, based on the facts, your accident was caused a certain way, who’s responsible, and how it resulted in your injuries.
Personal injury claims arise when someone is injured due to the negligence of another, and a wrongful death claim can be filed by the next of kin of someone killed in an accident. A personal injury lawyer handles both types of cases.
This attorney is an expert with extensive experience in negligence claims covering accidents that cause injuries or deaths. Each case is unique, and the laws are complex. It’s essential you speak with a Texas personal injury lawyer who successfully represents clients in these claims.
First, seek immediate medical attention. Only a medical professional can diagnose and treat your injuries. If you’re able, get witnesses’ names, take pictures or videos of the accident area, and contact your insurance company. Tell them the basic facts. Don’t say anything about being at fault for the accident.
It’s imperative you immediately contact an experienced personal injury attorney. What is or isn’t done in the first days after an accident can change the outcome of your claim. You need an advocate before the other party’s attorney or insurance company contacts you or your family.
Yes. You should find out what they saw, their names, and contact information. Don’t discuss the accident with them. If you do, you risk saying something that may impair your rights to compensation or limit what you can collect.
Only a seasoned personal injury lawyer can evaluate your claim. Many factors are considered:
Texas state statutes govern many aspects of your claim. Your lawyer will be knowledgeable in all aspects of personal injury, will assess your claim, and help guide you through the process.
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.
It’s impossible to say what specific amount you may receive as damages (the harm you suffered measured in dollars), but we can give you an estimate. You may be entitled to compensation for:
Your case’s factual and legal issues must be evaluated so we can tell you your chances of success and what compensation might be awarded.
Anyone working for the insurance company is not protecting your interests. They may be friendly and professional and sound like they want to take care of you, but they’re trying to settle your case as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Insurance companies make money by collecting premiums and paying as little as possible for claims. If you agree to a settlement, you may give up your rights to fair compensation. Once you sign a settlement agreement, you can’t go back later for more money.
An expert personal injury attorney should speak on your behalf to an insurance company to protect your rights and prevent you from making costly mistakes.
Do not speak with them.
Don’t discuss the accident or continue the conversation. If you do, you may say things that will weaken your case or lessen your compensation. If you haven’t contacted an attorney by now, do so. Only a knowledgeable, experienced personal injury attorney can truly protect your rights.
You’ll meet with the lawyer for a free consultation and case evaluation. You’ll be asked about the accident and what happened afterward. The lawyer will evaluate your case and advise you if you have a legitimate claim.
If you feel the attorney’s a good fit for you and your case, and the attorney wants to take your case, you’ll get a written representation agreement to review and sign. After you hire the attorney, they will contact the other party or their insurance company to tell them you have legal representation.
Your lawyer will handle all future communications. They will thoroughly investigate your accident, gather any information you have, and determine who caused the accident, how, and why. Your attorney will be your advocate and ensure that your rights are protected.
Your attorney will send the insurance company a demand along with supporting evidence. They will negotiate with the insurance company and probably reach a proposed settlement. You have the final say whether to accept it or not. Most cases settle, those that don’t go to trial.
Every case is different. Some settle quickly, and others may take a long time. Complex cases with greater damages may take longer, and some insurance companies are more reasonable than others. Your attorney will keep you informed and advise you as your case progresses.
Personal injury cases are based on establishing liability (the other party was negligent, caused the accident, and your injuries) and damages. Unless it impairs your ability to drive safely, your pre-existing condition shouldn’t affect showing the other party is liable.
If the accident worsened your condition, that would be part of your damages claim. The insurance company may claim the accident didn’t impact your condition, or it did, but less than you claim. The issue would be decided on the evidence of your condition before and after the accident.
Contingency is the basis of the payment arrangements between you and your lawyer. Generally, Texas personal injury lawyers work on contingency, and they’re paid a percentage of what their clients receive. Depending on your agreement, fees and costs of litigation may or may not be extra.
The attorney will only be paid if you obtain compensation through a settlement or jury verdict. Make sure you understand the terms of your retainer agreement before you sign it. Ask questions about any section or language you don’t understand.
Loss of consortium is a claim for compensation for the loss of spousal companionship and normal marital relations due to your injury.
Punitive damages punish the other party and discourage it, and others, from acting the same way in the future. While compensatory damages address your losses, punitive damages are based on the other party’s actions, including malicious or unusually reckless behavior.
If you purchased uninsured motorist coverage, you should get your claim paid if the driver at fault had no insurance. You should discuss this and other options with an experienced car accident lawyer in Texas. Your lawyer can evaluate your case and make the appropriate recommendations.
Don’t make any statements of fault to anyone, including friends, family, or the police. Even though you want support, comfort, and assistance, don’t go into details with friends or family. Who you speak to may be called as a witness against you. Don’t discuss the accident, or anything related to it, on social media.
Contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. You may be able to file a claim, but depending on what you’ve done and said, your claim may be weakened. There are time limits on filing lawsuits, known as the statute of limitations. If you miss it, your case will be dismissed.
