Crandall Personal Injury Attorney Serving Texas

You should seek medical care as soon as possible after an accident to document your injuries and begin recovery. Medical records are critical evidence in a personal injury claim. If you can, collect contact information for witnesses and take photos of the scene. Contact a lawyer promptly to protect your rights and ensure evidence is preserved.

The timeline depends on the severity of injuries, complexity of liability, and willingness of insurers to negotiate. Some claims settle within months, while others may take longer if litigation is necessary. We provide an estimated timeline after reviewing your case and keep you informed about progress, settlement negotiations, and key deadlines under Texas law.

You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In rare cases, punitive damages may be available if conduct was especially reckless. Accurately valuing future care and lost earning capacity is important, so we work with medical and financial professionals to calculate comprehensive damages when appropriate.

Many cases resolve through negotiation and settlement without trial. However, if insurers refuse to offer fair compensation, preparing for litigation may be necessary to obtain just results. We prepare every case as if it will go to court, which strengthens negotiating position and ensures readiness if trial becomes required.

We operate on a contingency-fee basis for most personal injury matters, so there are no upfront attorney fees and we collect a fee only if we recover compensation for you. You remain responsible for certain case expenses in some situations, but we explain all fees and costs during the initial consultation so there are no surprises.

Provide basic information but avoid detailed or recorded statements about fault or the full extent of injuries until you have spoken with a legal representative. Early statements can be used to minimize claims. Refer the adjuster to our office for legal communications and allow us to handle negotiations and documentation to protect your recovery.

You can manage a simple claim on your own, but insurers often have legal teams seeking to limit payouts. Legal representation increases the likelihood of a fair recovery, especially for serious injuries. If liability, injuries, or damages are contested, retaining counsel helps ensure proper valuation and protection of your long-term interests.

Texas follows modified comparative fault rules, which reduce recovery by your percentage of responsibility. If you are less than 51% at fault, you may still recover damages reduced by your share of fault. We analyze evidence to minimize assigned fault and negotiate to protect your compensation under state rules.

We work with medical providers and experts to document prognosis, anticipated care, and associated costs to present a reliable estimate of future medical needs and related expenses. Detailed medical records, expert opinions, and cost projections support claims for future damages in negotiations or at trial.
