Freestone County Personal Injury Attorney Serving Texas

You should seek medical attention as soon as possible after an injury. Prompt care protects your health and creates documentation that links the injury to the incident. This medical record is often critical when presenting your claim to an insurer.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline can bar you from filing a lawsuit. Some exceptions may extend or shorten the deadline depending on the circumstances, so it is important to confirm the timeline early in your case.

Often contacting a law firm signals to insurers that your claim will be handled professionally, which can lead to more measured communication and fairer offers. Having representation helps ensure settlement offers are evaluated against the full scope of your damages.

You can seek recovery for medical expenses, lost income, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. The value of a claim depends on the severity of injuries and the impact on your life. Documentation of expenses and tangible losses strengthens a demand for fair compensation.

Many claims are resolved through settlement negotiations without a trial, but litigation remains an option when negotiations fail to produce fair results. Preparing a case for court can improve settlement outcomes because it demonstrates readiness to pursue justice through the judiciary.

Texas follows a comparative responsibility rule that reduces recovery by your percentage of fault. If you share responsibility for the incident, your award will be adjusted accordingly, so documenting the other party's negligence is important for maximizing recovery.

Early offers from insurers can be tempting, but they often underestimate the full scope of damages. Evaluating offers carefully with legal guidance helps ensure you do not accept less than your claim is worth and allows time to assess long-term needs.

We work to document and present all medical expenses and coordinate with providers when necessary. In many cases, settlements include payment for past and future medical care related to the injury. Proper documentation is essential to support those requests.
