What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do in Houston?

Losing a family member, suffering severe injuries, or sustaining a long-term disability can negatively impact your life forever. The aftermath of a crash can be an overwhelming experience, and the effect of a crash that wasn’t your fault can also be frustrating, especially when you were not prepared to deal with the high cost of seeking treatment for the injuries you suffered – not to mention having to fight for the compensation you deserve.

The personal injury rate in Houston is alarming. In 2016, injuries that resulted from car accidents crossed the 250,000 mark while the number of pedestrian accidents reported during the same year was almost 10,000, as per figures provided by the National Practitioner Data Bank from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

If you’ve sustained injuries in a car accident in Houston, our personal injury lawyers will take you through the legal process. We are experts in Houston’s civil laws and the criminal justice system.

Filing Personal Injury Claims

Filing a personal injury claim in Houston can be a complex and complicated process. If you were injured in an auto accident or sustained injuries in any other way as a result of another person’s reckless behavior, get in touch with our personal injury lawyers to file for compensation and damages.

Texas auto laws place limits on car accident claims. They only allow victims to file a claim using their own car insurance provider if they sustained severe injuries. Our lawyers will help you file a claim against the insurer of the party that is liable after determining whether the extent and dollar value of the injuries you suffered meet specific legal qualifications.

Our personal injury attorneys in Houston will help you obtain the settlement you deserve irrespective of how the injuries you sustained actually happened. We will collect all the necessary evidence regarding your case, including medical reports, expert testimony, witness testimonies, and police reports.

We use this evidence to support your claim’s value, prove liability, and show that the accident caused the injuries you suffered. If litigation is necessary, we’ll guide you through the entire process and represent you in court as well to ensure you’re fully compensated.

Reasons You Should Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer

You may assume there’s no need to pursue a settlement or that you can seek compensation on your own after suffering injuries in a crash. You may enjoy a certain amount of success without the help of a lawyer, but success is not always guaranteed since many personal injury claims require a lot of attention and time, something an average person will find difficult to do, especially after suffering an accident.

An experienced personal injury attorney will help you with the following:

  • Take your case to court or negotiate a settlement
  • Keep you in the loop and on top of the important court and procedural deadlines
  • Communicate with insurance companies and the other party’s lawyers

Having a qualified lawyer represent you will make pursuing a settlement quick and easy, especially if you’re dealing with the law for the first time.

Our Personal Practice Injury Areas

We’ve handled countless personal injury cases in Houston and have helped families cover damages, medical bills, and lost income after suffering personal injuries in a car accident. Below are some of the practice areas we cover:

How To Cover Your Expenses After Suffering Personal Injuries

The majority of families and individuals cannot cover injury costs themselves. Apart from time spent away from work, you will also have to take care of medical bills and face the possibility of lower-earning capacity as a result of suffering severe injuries. You may even have to face the loss of a family member’s income, earnings they would have continued to earn during their life had they not been injured or killed in an accident.

We are here to help you leverage the provisions of Texas auto laws to hold the at-fault party, whether an individual or company, liable for compensating you for all your injuries and losses after an accident.

Personal injury compensation should cover:

  • Loss of future financial earnings
  • Lost companionship
  • Medical expenses
  • Emotional distress
  • Punitive damages (where applicable)

Claims You Can Pursue

A claim for settlement can be pursued for a wide range of accidents, including but not limited to all of the following:

  • An accident caused by a trucking company, car driver, or truck driver
  • Death or injury caused by a dog attack as a result of the dog owner not securing his/her animal
  • A property owner allowing harmful conditions to persist on their property without issuing a warning to visitors or guests
  • Death resulting from homeowners failing to secure swimming pools in order to prevent drowning
