Mason Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

Determining the value of a case depends on medical bills, lost wages, the severity of injuries, and the long‑term impact on daily life. Insurance limits and the strength of liability evidence also affect potential recovery. A lawyer can help calculate current and future losses and present documentation to insurers. This assessment often includes expected medical needs, rehabilitation costs, and non‑economic damages such as pain and suffering.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. Filing a lawsuit after this deadline may bar your claim, so timely action is important. There are exceptions that can alter the deadline, depending on the circumstances. Contact a lawyer promptly to evaluate any deadline implications and preserve your rights.

Many cases resolve through negotiation and settlement before trial. Insurers often prefer to settle when liability and damages are well documented. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we prepare cases for litigation. Being ready to go to court strengthens negotiation positions and ensures you are not pressured into accepting an inadequate offer.

Initially, medical bills may be covered by health insurance or emergency care providers. In some instances, medical providers place liens until a settlement or verdict is reached. A lawyer works to account for medical costs in a claim and negotiates with providers and insurers to protect the net recovery available to you.

Prioritize safety and seek medical attention if needed. Exchange contact and insurance information with other parties and gather contact details for witnesses when possible. Take photographs of the scene and your injuries, and obtain any police or incident report. Avoid admitting fault or speculating about what happened when speaking to others at the scene.

Many personal injury firms, including ours, handle cases on a contingency basis where legal fees are paid from any recovery. This arrangement allows injured people to pursue claims without upfront legal costs. Discuss fee arrangements during your initial consultation so you understand how fees and expenses will be handled if a recovery is obtained.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. A plaintiff may recover damages as long as they are not more than 50 percent responsible for the incident. Their recovery is reduced in proportion to their percentage of fault. Determining fault percentages can be complex. A lawyer can help gather evidence and advocate for an accurate allocation of responsibility.

Case timelines vary based on the severity of injuries, the complexity of liability, and the willingness of parties to negotiate. Some claims resolve in months, while others require a year or more if litigation becomes necessary. A lawyer can provide an estimated timeline after reviewing the case and keep you informed about key milestones and realistic expectations for resolution.

Compensatory damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, property damages, and non‑economic losses such as pain and suffering. In limited circumstances, other types of recovery may be available depending on the facts. Each case is different, so a review of your medical records and financial losses helps identify what damages to pursue on your behalf.
