If you have been seriously injured in an accident, it is highly recommended to seek legal representation for your case. Pursuing compensation can be difficult for a person who not only has no experience in personal injury claims, but is also incapacitated due to serious injury. An experienced Angleton personal injury lawyer can help navigate the claims process on your behalf, taking care of all the legal matters necessary to secure compensation. This can include determining the value of your claim, filing the paperwork necessary, and advising you of the best way to proceed with your case.
Additionally, in cases with serious injury, it can be difficult to fully appraise the scope of the compensation desired. An injury attorney has the resources to consult any experts who can comprehensively determine the full value of your claim. This way, you have a clearer idea of what to expect in your recovery, along with peace of mind knowing that you are pursuing the maximum possible compensation for your injuries.
Ultimately, a personal injury lawyer is there as your trusted counsel and advocate to ensure everything proceeds with your well-being at heart.
Recovering compensation in most accidents usually involve each party’s insurance companies. However, it is important to note that often, the insurance provider of the at-fault party will contact you well before any investigations have concluded. They will offer a quick settlement in the hopes of resolving the case as soon as possible and lessening the impact of an accident on their bottom line. This amount will almost always be far below what you are entitled to for a full recovery.
Insurance companies are only acting in their best interests, and therefore will almost never provide a reasonable compensation for your injuries. As such, it is highly recommended to consult a lawyer first before speaking with an insurance company. An Angleton insurance claim lawyer can help negotiate on your behalf to prevent any lowball offers from being presented, and help you to secure compensation that is full and fair.
Regardless of the circumstances of a personal injury, the general process for filing claims remains the same:
During the trial, a judge or jury will hear both sides of the claim and make a decision based upon the evidence and render a verdict. Although it may be possible to appeal the verdict, that can be increasingly difficult based on the evidence and circumstances of the case.
Securing the compensation, you are entitled to requires that you first prove the circumstances of your personal injury claim. Proving a personal injury claim follows the same general rules as proving negligence in an accident. There are 4 elements that must be proven:
It is important to note that Texas follows “proportionate responsibility” comparative negligence rules on fault and negligence. This means that to be able to be entitled to recover, you must be less at fault than the at-fault party.
This means that the investigation of your personal injury claim is paramount and can be one of the deciding factors that affect your recovery ability.
All states have a statute of limitations on personal injury claims – a timed deadline for injured parties to file a valid lawsuit for compensation. In Texas, the statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of the accident. If you file a personal injury claim after 2 years, it is likely your lawsuit will get rejected by the courts.
However, the statute of limitations varies with medical malpractice claims. In addition to the 2 years, you may be able to receive additional time if the injury or damage is not discovered until much later. Known as the “Undiscovered Negligence rule,” it provides you with a “reasonable amount of time” from the date that the injury should have reasonably been uncovered.
It is highly recommended to begin filing a claim as soon as possible. A considerable amount of evidence and other information vital to your case can be lost in two years, making securing compensation for your claim significantly more difficult.
The compensation amounts in a personal injury lawsuit can vary greatly depending on the circumstances and other factors in your case. However, you may typically be eligible to secure compensation for:
An experienced Angleton personal injury attorney can help determine the full value of your claim by consulting experts and previous case results.
Generally, it can be difficult to determine the costs of a personal injury attorney. However, at West & West, we understand that sudden, unexpected accidents can create significant financial hardship in many families in Angleton, with the onset of medical bills, property damage, and extended time away from work. In such circumstances, it can be difficult to even consider paying more money to retain an attorney.
To remedy these concerns, we are proud to offer legal representation based on a contingency fee arrangement. There are no upfront costs for our services – the initial consultation is free. Throughout the duration of the case, all legal expenses are advanced. At the conclusion of the case, you only pay for legal fees if we secure a favorable settlement or verdict on your behalf – and this is never taken out of pocket, but as a percentage from your recovery.
This allows you to retain exceptional representation without having to worry about how to pay for services – and it allows us to provide the best possible representation in order to secure the maximum possible compensation for your needs.
