HOW OUR FRISCO PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER WILL HELP

Personal injury victims receive higher settlements when they are represented by an attorney rather than attempting to deal with an insurance company on their own, according to studies.

Injuries caused by negligence are considered unintentional injuries. According to the CDC, unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death among people aged 1 to 44. In people aged 45 to 64, they are the third leading cause of death. Many of these injuries are the result of carelessness. Unintentional falls are the leading cause of non-fatal ER visits in the United States, with 8,591,683 people visiting the ER in 2018 for fall-related injuries.

In 2019, 256,338 people were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. In Texas, 3,610 people were killed in car accidents in 2019. In car accidents where the driver was under the influence of alcohol, 886 people were killed.

As the number of personal injury cases increases, so do the number of people who are injured as a result of those incidents. If our firm accepts your injury case, we will handle everything, including:

• Conducting an in-depth investigation into your case to determine how your injury occurred and who should be held legally responsible for the harm you have suffered.
• Consultation with highly qualified experts from various fields, such as accident reconstruction experts and medical professionals. For example, our law firm employs a legal nurse consultant.
• Analyzing your medical records and other data to fully calculate your losses and the appropriate amount to seek in your case.
• Examining all relevant insurance policies in your case and dealing with insurance companies on your behalf
• All documents, including claims with insurance companies and documents in the court where your case will be litigated, must be filed on time.
• Negotiating with insurance companies for a fair and timely settlement of your claim, as well as structuring a settlement to provide financial security for you and your family for the foreseeable future.
• Litigating your case in court.
• Resolving any liens that may have been attached to your recovery, such as health care or workers’ compensation liens.

Our Frisco personal injury attorneys can help you focus on your recovery and your family while we seek fair compensation for your losses.

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY CASE?

Personal injury cases are typically based on a negligence standard, and plaintiffs must demonstrate that the defendants’ conduct amounted to negligence in order to succeed in their personal injury claims. To establish negligence, the following four elements must be proven:

That the defendant had a duty of care to the plaintiff. This is not a difficult standard to prove because everyone has a duty to act reasonably when engaging in any type of conduct or activity that has the potential to harm another person. For example, if you are backing out of a driveway, you have a responsibility to look behind you and ensure that your path is clear so that you do not collide with any person or vehicle that may be in your path.

That the defendant failed to fulfill his or her duty of care. In most cases, the standard for determining whether or not the defendant breached his or her duty of care is reasonableness. A plaintiff must present evidence demonstrating that in a similar situation, a reasonable person would not have engaged in the same conduct or behavior as the defendant. In some cases, such as a medical malpractice case, the standard may be different, as a plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant’s treatment and care fell below the medical standard of care.

That the plaintiff was harmed as a result of the defendant’s breach of duty. A defendant will not be held liable for breaching a duty of care unless the plaintiff can demonstrate actual injuries and damages.

That the defendant’s breach of duty caused the plaintiff’s injuries. Finally, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the injuries would not have occurred if the defendant had not breached his or her duty of care. In other words, the plaintiff’s injuries were caused by the defendant’s actions or inaction.

WHAT TO DO AFTER A PERSONAL INJURY

The actions you take immediately following an injury can have an impact on your ability to pursue legal action in the future. First and foremost, the injury must be documented at the scene of the accident. If you are hurt at a business, make sure the incident report is completed. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may need to contact the police and Emergency Services in order to document your case and provide emergency medical care.

Second, regardless of whether you believe you have been seriously injured, it is critical to seek medical treatment following a personal injury. Some injuries, in fact, can take hours or days to manifest. If you wait until your symptoms worsen before seeking medical attention, you will lose the ability to properly document your injuries.

Finally, if your injuries are severe or long-lasting, it is time to consult with a personal injury lawyer with local trial experience about your potential legal case. They will be able to advise you on the next steps to take. Not all injuries give rise to strong legal claims. Hiring a personal injury lawyer early in the process, on the other hand, can increase the likelihood that you will have a strong case because they will have a better opportunity to gather the necessary evidence.

TIME LIMITS FOR PERSONAL INJURY CASES IN TEXAS

The statute of limitations in Texas for personal injury cases varies according to the type and specific circumstances of your case. In Texas, injured parties generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. If your case involves a government entity or a medical malpractice claim, you will also have a shorter filing deadline. Because there are numerous circumstances and factors to consider in your claim, it is critical that you consult with an attorney as soon as possible following your accident. This prevents you from missing any applicable deadlines and, as a result, losing your right to compensation from the responsible party.
