Personal Injury Claims

What is a personal injury? These are injuries that you would not have suffered if another person had been careful to avoid harming you. The following list describes some of the more common types of personal injury claims we see:

Automotive Accidents – This occurs when there is a collision involving a car accident, motorcycle, or truck. These injuries can be very serious. You may need help communicating with your insurance company to get the settlement you need. The insurance company is not your friend and will try to give you a quick offer to settle the case. If insurance is not willing to help you, it might be time to escalate your claim further.

Negligence – Texas has a well-defined set of laws to describe ‘negligence’. As well as, how it relates to personal injury claims. Under Texas law, a person has the right to demand economical recompense from another person. Especially, if they can prove that the injury was due to the negligence of the second person.

Premise Liability – Premises liability may range from things from “injuries caused by a variety of hazardous conditions, including open excavations, uneven pavement, standing water, crumbling curbs, wet floors, uncleared snow, icy walks, falling objects, inadequate security, insufficient lighting, concealed holes, improperly secured mats, or defects in chairs or benches”. Premises liability law is the body of law that makes the person who is in possession of land or premises responsible for certain injuries suffered by persons who are present on the premises.

Other Personal Injury Claim Types – While auto accidents are perhaps the greatest cause of injury in Texas, they are by no means the only one. Other causes of injury, which may warrant a personal injury claim, include:

• Pedestrian accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Defective products

What Are My Legal Options

The benefit of consulting with a personal injury attorney is that they are able to discuss all your legal options with you. There are many misconceptions about what happens when you file a lawsuit. People often envision facing off in a courtroom.

The reality is that most personal injury lawsuits result in settlements. Only 4 to 5 percent of those cases actually go to trial. Trials are more expensive and time-consuming, so it is usually in everyone’s best interests to come up with a fair settlement. A settlement simply means that the injured party accepts an amount of compensation from the responsible party (or parties). In return, you agree not to seek any further damages from them.

Accident Injury Claims

Personal injury claims are civil lawsuits. It’s possible that a criminal case against the negligent party (such as a drunk driver) will take place while you are pursuing your civil case. However, those two claims are entirely separate and handled by different attorneys applying different Texas statutes.

In Texas, there is a two-year statute of limitations to file a claim against a negligent party. Sometimes the extent of the injuries is so uncertain that it can be wise to wait to file suit. You may want to fully understand what your ultimate outcome will be. However, you still should talk to an attorney as soon as possible after your accident. You don’t want to miss the deadline or risk that valuable evidence goes missing. Any case submitted after the statue of limitations will likely not come to fruition.
