Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is there a time limit to filing my claim?
In Texas, the window to file is two years from the date of your accident, which is known as the “statute of limitations.” If you don’t file within that time frame, you may not be able to pursue your case. Under specific circumstances, there are exceptions.
-
How is negligence determined?
Several factors can determine negligence. Do not try to make that determination on your own. Do not assume negligence does not exist. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney who can evaluate your case and advise you.
-
If the insurance company offers a settlement, why do I need a lawyer?
The insurance company makes money by collecting premiums and paying out as little as possible. If it can convince you to agree to a settlement, you may be giving up your rights to fair compensation. You should have an expert personal injury attorney on your side to make sure you get a fair settlement.
-
How do I know how much my claim is worth?
You may be entitled to compensation for short- and long-term medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional anguish. You may be awarded punitive damages as well. All factors surrounding the incident have to be evaluated and considered.
