Ore City Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

After an injury, prioritize your health and get medical treatment. Document the incident with photos, witness information, and any immediate reports such as a police record. Preserving evidence early makes a big difference for recovery. Contact a firm for a review so you understand deadlines and options. Early legal review can help preserve rights and guide communications with insurers.

In Texas, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the injury, but some claims follow different deadlines. Timelines can be affected by when injuries are discovered or by claims against government entities. Consult promptly to ensure your claim is filed on time and to avoid losing the right to pursue relief.

You can seek compensation for economic losses such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and property damage. Non economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life may also be recoverable. The exact damages depend on your injuries, prognosis, and the facts of the case.

Many claims resolve through negotiation with insurers without a trial, but some require filing a lawsuit and presenting the case in court to achieve a fair result. Preparing for litigation can improve settlement outcomes even when a trial is not necessary.

We handle most personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, so there are typically no upfront attorney fees. Fees are taken as a percentage of recovery only if you receive compensation. Discuss fee arrangements during your free case review to understand any potential costs or expenses.

Texas follows modified comparative fault rules, which may reduce recoverable damages by your percentage of fault, and bar recovery if you are more than 50 percent responsible. Even with partial fault, you may still recover a portion of damages, so have your situation evaluated promptly.

Bring any medical records, bills, photos of the incident or injuries, police reports, insurance information, and correspondence with insurers. If you do not have all documents, bring what you can and we will help gather the rest during our review.

Resolution timelines vary based on injury severity, treatment duration, complexity of liability, and insurer cooperation. Some claims settle in a few months, while others that require litigation can take a year or more. We provide estimates after reviewing case details and keep you informed at every step.

You may negotiate with insurers on your own, but this can risk accepting an insufficient offer or missing legal deadlines. For significant injuries or contested claims, professional representation helps ensure proper valuation and protection of your rights throughout the process.
