Dimmitt Personal Injury Lawyer — Castro County, Texas

A typical case value depends on medical expenses, lost wages, the severity of injuries, and the impact on daily life. We review your records and identify measurable losses to estimate a reasonable recovery range. Insurance coverage limits and comparative fault can affect the final recovery. We explain these factors and work to identify all available sources of compensation for your situation.

Texas sets deadlines known as statutes of limitations for personal injury lawsuits, and missing the deadline can bar your claim. For most personal injury cases, this deadline is limited, so timely action matters. Contacting a lawyer early preserves evidence and gives you time to evaluate options. We can explain the specific deadline that applies to your case and help you meet procedural requirements.

Seek prompt medical attention even if injuries seem minor, and follow all medical advice. Your health is the priority, and early treatment also supports a stronger claim by documenting injuries and care. Gather contact details for witnesses, take photos of the scene if safe, and keep records of medical visits and expenses. Avoid lengthy recorded statements to insurers before speaking with counsel.

Many cases resolve through negotiated settlements, but some require litigation to achieve fair compensation. We prepare every case for trial to ensure you have the strongest possible position at the negotiating table. If a fair settlement is not offered, we will discuss the benefits and risks of filing suit and pursue trial when it serves your best interests.

Personal injury claims are commonly handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning fees are collected only if recovery is obtained. We will explain our fee structure and any costs involved during your consultation. You will receive a clear fee agreement that outlines how fees and expenses are deducted from any settlement or verdict, so you understand net recovery before making decisions.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule that can reduce recovery based on your percentage of fault. If you share responsibility, your damages may be reduced proportionally, but you may still recover if your fault is below the statutory limit. We assess comparative fault early and gather evidence to minimize your attributed responsibility, protecting the recovery you are entitled to receive.

Case duration varies with injury severity, treatment timelines, insurance negotiations, and whether litigation is necessary. Some matters settle in months, while complex cases may take longer. We provide a realistic timeline after reviewing your medical records and the facts, and we keep you updated as your claim progresses.

You can pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. Each claim is tailored to your specific losses. Documenting expenses and treatment is key to demonstrating the full scope of damages. We compile supporting evidence to present a comprehensive damage claim to insurers or a court.

Many firms advance case costs and handle matters on contingency, so you do not pay upfront for legal fees. We will discuss how expenses are managed and reimbursed from recovery at the outset. Transparency about potential costs is part of our client intake. We explain likely expenses and how they are handled so you can decide without unexpected surprises.
