San Saba Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Texas

If you were injured, seek medical attention and document all treatments and costs. Prompt medical care supports your health and creates a record that is important to a future claim. Contact our office to discuss deadlines and potential recovery. We can help preserve evidence and advise on next steps to protect your rights under Texas law.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, you must file a lawsuit within two years of the injury date. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. Certain circumstances can change the filing deadline, so it is important to consult promptly to confirm the applicable time limit for your situation.

Insurance companies may cover medical bills through a settlement if liability and damages are established. Early offers may not fully account for future care costs. We can review any offer and help negotiate compensation that addresses both current treatment and projected future medical needs.

Prioritize safety and medical attention, exchange contact and insurance information with other involved parties, and take photos of the scene if you are able. Collect witness names and statements when possible. Avoid admitting fault or making detailed recorded statements to insurers until you have a clear understanding of your injuries and legal options.

Fault is established by examining evidence such as police reports, witness testimony, traffic laws, and physical damage. Comparative responsibility rules can affect recovery if more than one party shares blame. An investigation that compiles clear documentation increases the likelihood of demonstrating liability and recovering appropriate damages.

Some minor claims with clear liability and modest medical expenses can be handled directly with the insurer, but that approach risks undervaluation of damages. Important evidence or future medical needs can be overlooked. If there is any dispute over fault, serious injury, or significant financial loss, obtaining legal guidance helps protect your recovery prospects and navigate complex insurance procedures.

Recoverable damages typically include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and compensation for pain and suffering. Out-of-pocket costs related to the injury may also be included. Accurately documenting past and future losses is essential to calculating a fair recovery amount, which is why preserving records and medical opinions matters.

Resolution time varies based on case complexity, the extent of injuries, and whether negotiations are successful. Simple claims may settle in a few months, while complex matters can take longer. Our priority is to pursue a timely resolution while ensuring any settlement fairly addresses both current and anticipated future needs.

Bring medical records, bills, accident reports, photos, and any correspondence with insurers. Also provide contact information for witnesses and a timeline of events. If records are incomplete, we can request them on your behalf, but any documentation you already have helps speed up case evaluation.

We handle many personal injury matters on a contingency arrangement, where fees are taken from any recovery rather than charged upfront. This allows clients to pursue claims without immediate legal bills. We explain fee arrangements clearly at the outset, including how costs are handled and what portion of a recovery is paid after case resolution.
