Lampasas Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

Many injury cases can be resolved through settlement, but the right path depends on the severity of injuries and whether liability is clear. We evaluate medical records, bills, and evidence to determine the most effective strategy. If liability is disputed or damages are substantial, litigation may be necessary to achieve a full recovery. We explain the pros and cons of each option and advise on the steps to protect your claim.

Texas law sets deadlines for filing lawsuits known as statutes of limitations. For most personal injury claims the time limit is two years from the date of injury, though exceptions can apply. Because timing rules vary by case, it is important to seek a review promptly to preserve your rights and avoid losing the ability to file a claim.

Many claims settle before trial through negotiation with insurers. Settlement is often faster and less costly, but it must fairly compensate your losses. If settlement offers are inadequate or liability is contested, filing a lawsuit may be necessary to pursue the compensation you need. We prepare every case as if it might go to trial to protect your interests.

You may recover economic damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property repair costs. Non-economic damages can include pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In some limited circumstances, punitive damages may be available when the defendant’s conduct is particularly harmful, though such awards are uncommon and depend on the facts and legal standards.

Many personal injury attorneys, including our firm, handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning fees are paid from the recovery and there is no upfront charge for representation. You will still be responsible for certain case expenses in some situations, but we discuss fees and costs in detail during the initial consultation so there are no surprises.

Seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow your provider’s instructions. Prompt treatment helps your health and creates an official record of your injuries. Document the scene with photos if safe, keep records of all medical and repair bills, and avoid discussing the details of your claim publicly or on social media.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which may reduce your recovery in proportion to your percentage of fault but does not necessarily bar recovery unless your fault exceeds certain thresholds. We assess fault allocation in each case and aim to minimize your assigned percentage while maximizing recoverable damages through evidence and negotiation.

Case timelines vary widely based on injury severity, the need for ongoing medical treatment, complexity of liability, and whether the matter settles or proceeds to trial. Some cases resolve within months, while others take a year or more. We provide estimated timelines after reviewing the specifics of your situation and keep you informed throughout the process.

Insurance companies evaluate claims based on documentation and the strength of the evidence. A well-supported claim with medical records and clear liability is more likely to be handled seriously. We prepare and present claims professionally to insurers to increase the chance of fair offers, but we are also prepared to pursue litigation if necessary to protect your rights.
