Roma–Los Saenz Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

How long will my personal injury case take? The duration varies based on factors like the extent of medical treatment, complexity of liability, and the willingness of insurers to negotiate. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others require longer negotiation or litigation. What should I expect during the process? Expect ongoing documentation, medical follow-up, and regular communication with our team. We will explain each step and keep you informed of settlement discussions and key deadlines.

Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis so you do not pay upfront legal fees; the firm is paid a portion of any recovery. This arrangement makes representation accessible without immediate out-of-pocket legal costs. What expenses might I be responsible for? You may need to cover medical treatment and certain case-related expenses, but we discuss potential costs and fee arrangements during the initial consultation so you have clear expectations.

Filing a police report can be important evidence for vehicle collisions and other incidents. A report documents the scene and can be used to support a claim with insurers or in court. What if a report was not filed at the scene? If no report was filed initially, gather other evidence promptly such as photos, witness contact information, medical records, and reach out to the firm to discuss next steps.

You may be able to recover economic damages like medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage, as well as non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages may also be available depending on the conduct involved. How are damages calculated? Damages are assessed based on medical documentation, the impact on your daily life and earning capacity, and recognized legal standards for valuing losses.

Many cases settle before trial after negotiations with insurers. However, if a fair settlement is not achievable, preparing for court may be necessary to pursue full recovery. What if I prefer to avoid trial? We aim to resolve matters through negotiation when possible, but we will prepare thoroughly so you are in a strong position whether settling or going to court.

Preserve photographs of the scene and injuries, keep all medical records and receipts, and retain contact details for witnesses. Avoid discarding any documents that relate to the incident. Should I speak to insurers right away? Notify your insurer as required but consider contacting the firm before providing detailed statements to insurers so we can advise on how to protect your claim.

Texas follows comparative fault rules that may reduce your recovery in proportion to your share of fault but do not necessarily bar recovery entirely unless your fault exceeds statutory limits. How does partial fault affect settlement? Negotiations and damage calculations take comparative fault into account, and we work to present evidence that minimizes your assigned fault and maximizes your net recovery.

Bring any available medical records, accident reports, photos, insurance information, and details about lost wages or property damage to your initial consultation. What if I don’t have all documents? Provide what you can and we will help gather additional records and guide you on what is most important to collect early on.

Settlement proceeds are used to pay outstanding medical bills, reimburse case expenses, and cover the firm’s agreed fee, with the remainder paid to you. We provide a clear breakdown so you understand the net amount you will receive. Will I see a detailed accounting? Yes, you will receive an itemized statement showing how funds were applied and what remains for you.

If the responsible party lacks insurance, other recovery options may be available such as uninsured motorist coverage or pursuing assets directly. We evaluate all avenues to identify applicable sources of compensation. How do I know if other coverage applies? We review your insurance policies and case facts to determine potential coverages and make informed recommendations.
