Wills Point Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

How long will a personal injury case take? The timeline varies based on the severity of injuries, how long medical treatment is needed, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Many cases resolve in months, while more complex matters can take longer. How are fees handled? We typically work on a contingency fee basis, which means fees are collected from any recovery rather than upfront. We will explain fee arrangements and any costs during your initial consultation.

Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor, to document any harm and protect your health. Collect contact information for witnesses and exchange insurance details with other parties when possible. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers without legal advice, and preserve evidence such as photos and medical records. Contact our office to discuss next steps and protect your rights under Texas law.

Insurance companies often gather information to evaluate claims and may make quick settlement offers that do not fully compensate future needs. Providing a basic statement is usually fine, but avoid signing releases or accepting early offers without legal advice. We can handle communications with insurers to ensure offers reflect the true extent of your injuries and future care requirements, reducing the risk of undervalued settlements.

Case value depends on medical costs, lost income, the severity and permanency of injuries, and non-economic harms like pain and suffering. Each claim is unique and requires careful assessment of current and future needs. We evaluate medical records, bills, and employment impact to estimate potential recovery and discuss realistic expectations for settlement or trial outcomes.

Many cases settle before trial, but some disputes require filing suit and presenting the matter to a judge or jury. The decision to go to court is based on whether a fair settlement can be reached and your goals for recovery. We prepare every case as if it may proceed to trial so that negotiations are backed by strong evidence and a readiness to present the matter in court if needed.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which allows recovery if you are less than 51% at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of responsibility for the accident. We analyze the facts to determine comparative fault and advocate to minimize any assigned percentage of responsibility that could reduce your recovery.

If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, you may have options such as uninsured motorist coverage under your own policy or pursuing the at-fault party directly depending on their ability to pay. We can review your policies and legal avenues. We help identify available insurance coverage and alternative sources of recovery to pursue compensation for medical bills and other losses.

Medical providers and insurers may assert liens for treatment paid or covered, which can affect net settlement amounts. It is important to address liens during settlement negotiations to understand the actual funds available to you. We work with medical providers and lien holders to resolve outstanding balances and clarify how settlement funds will be distributed so you understand the net recovery.

A denial is not necessarily the end of your options. We can review the denial, gather additional evidence, and pursue administrative appeals or file a lawsuit if justified to challenge the decision and seek fair compensation. Prompt action and continued documentation can help overturn or mitigate denials and preserve your rights within statutory deadlines.
