A personal injury lawyer helps you put your life back together by recovering compensation for your injuries and financial losses when you have been injured due to someone else’s negligent conduct. A personal injury lawyer helps you by drafting notice and demand letters to preserve your rights, collecting and documenting evidence that helps establish the other party’s fault and your damages, interceding between you and the adjusters, representatives, and attorneys for the negligent party, hires investigators, experts, and medical professions necessary to prove your case in court, advises you of your rights and options including helping you to decide whether to file a lawsuit, mediate, arbitrate, and/or settle your case.

You should consider calling a personal injury lawyer if any of the following apply:

• You were injured in an accident and did not have the resources or means to get the medical care you need.
• You were seriously injured due to someone else’s negligence.
• You were injured in a multi-car or disputed liability accident.
• You were injured due to a dangerous condition on someone else’s property.
• You were injured due to someone else’s negligence, and the other side is not responding or not accepting responsibility.
• You were injured due to a product or drug.
• You were injured on the job, and no worker’s compensation or someone other than your employer who caused the injury.
• You were injured, and an adjuster asks for a recorded statement.
• Someone’s animal injured you.
• A drunk driver injured you.
• You were injured due to medical negligence.
• You want to be sure that you understand your rights and that your interests are considered
• You want a consultation to understand the legal process better before you try to navigate it alone.

The choice is always yours whether to hire a personal injury lawyer. But be aware that insurance companies and corporations have trained investigators, adjusters, and lawyers at their disposal, and their job is to minimize your case value to save themselves money. We strongly advise talking to a personal injury lawyer before you speak to anyone from the opposing side if you must make a personal injury claim due to someone else’s negligent conduct.

• The 2-year statute of limitations is not the only deadline in many cases. If your case is against a city, county, state, or federal entity due to an injury on government property or by a government-owned and operated vehicle, you have strict notice requirements that must be met or your case will be barred.  Some of these are as short as 90 days from the date of the injury.
• There is no duty to preserve videotapes, inter-company reports,  emails, or certain other evidence UNLESS the victim or her attorney sends written notice demanding the evidence be secured and preserved.
• Insurance companies will typically not pay your medical bills as you incur them. They know that as the bills pile up, you are more likely to stop following through on needed medical care and by doing so, harm your own case. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you get the medical care you need without having to come out-of-pocket for the medical bills as you go.
• We offer a 100% FREE CONSULTATION with no obligation to learn your rights so you can make an informed decision.

To win a personal injury case, you must prove the elements of duty, breach of duty, proximate cause, and damages by a preponderance of the evidence. Duty means a legal obligation to act or not act in a specific way under the law. Breach of duty means that the person failed to carry out his duty. The term ‘proximate cause’ implies a cause that was a substantial factor in causing an event, without which the event wouldn’t have happened. Damages refer to the harm done as a result of negligence.

States have different deadlines for a plaintiff to file a lawsuit, and this deadline is called the Statute of Limitations. In the State of Texas, the general rule is two years. However, there are many exceptions, including the following:

• The discovery rule. This rule extends the time to file on repressed and hard-to-discover injuries until the harm and cause can reasonably be discovered.
• Minors. Minors are given until their 20th birthday to file claims.
• The defendant leaves the state. When a tortfeasor goes to the state before the 2-year statute runs, this can be grounds for an extension.
• 1st-party insurance claims. Claims against your insurance may have a 3-year or 4-year statute of limitations, depending on the contract’s state.
• Other exceptions. Other exceptions can apply in certain circumstances, so you must consult an attorney about your facts.

You may have a case if you suspect you were injured due to someone else’s negligence. Contact an attorney for a consultation at once. A qualified attorney can evaluate the facts of your case and let you know whether they believe you have a case.

Having no time to meet with a lawyer in person is OK; we know your time is valuable too. Suppose you do not have time to come in. In that case, all our lawyers and staff are set up to communicate with clients via Zoom virtual meetings, electronic document signing software that allows you to sign documents on a smartphone using your finger, email, and remote and office phone software. We also offer hospital and home visits for those too incapacitated to come to see us. Our services come with as many or as few lawyer meetings as you need.

The damages you are permitted by law to seek for your injuries include compensation for past and future medical expenses, property damage, physical pain and suffering, scarring, disfigurement, mental anguish, physical impairment, and lost earning capacity.
