What Should You Do if You Suffered Injuries Caused by Someone Else’s Negligence?
Immediately following an accident, personal injury victims are encouraged to seek treatment from medical professionals. Only a qualified medical professional can adequately diagnose and treat your injuries. In some cases, you may believe your injuries to be relatively minor. Still, they may worsen and become severe injuries with time, and failure to seek medical attention could negatively affect your recovery. It will also typically have a negative impact on the value of your maximum compensation.
If you can, attempt to get the names and contact information of any witnesses and take pictures or videos of the accident scene. Depending on the type of accident, such as slip and fall accidents, you may be advised to report the incident to property owners, employers, or others in positions of authority. Summon law enforcement and emergency first responders to the accident scene, then contact your insurance company.
In discussions with insurance agents or other parties involved, you should not diminish the severity of your injuries, as some symptoms take days or weeks to appear. Anything you say to insurance adjusters or the responsible parties could limit your chances of obtaining fair compensation for your injuries.
Do not delay seeking professional legal counsel from an experienced lawyer to discuss your personal injury case. Our law firm has a proven track record of helping personal injury victims pursue compensation and hold at-fault parties accountable for their actions.
Do You Need an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer to Assist You Throughout the Legal Process?
In most personal injury cases, the responsible parties are defended by lawyers hired by insurance companies and sometimes they even have their own legal representation. If you are hoping to recover just compensation for your injuries and other losses, you should seek the legal advice of experienced lawyers. At Lone Star Legal, we have two board-certified personal injury trial lawyers on our litigation team.
It is never too early to speak with a personal injury attorney about your case, but there is such a thing as waiting until it is too late. The sooner your attorney has a chance to review your personal injury accident and gather evidence to support your claims, the better your chances of retaining vital evidence, which is essential to recovering fair financial compensation.
Once you’ve ensured that you and any other victims are safe, you should immediately consider contacting an experienced personal injury lawyer. Personal injury attorneys represent accident victims in various legal matters, and their experience and knowledge in these fields can help you throughout the legal process in hopes of seeking justice and recovering fair settlements. Some personal injury victims opt to go without the legal representation of personal injury attorneys. While some may be successful in their pursuits, many recover far less financially than those who obtain professional legal representation.
What Sort of Financial Recovery Is Possible with a Successful Legal Claim?
Depending on the particulars of your case, it is possible to recover compensation to help with the burden thrust upon you by someone else’s negligence. Financial compensation may be provided for economic and non-economic damages. While no monetary compensation can ever truly undo the damage done in a serious accident, the hope is to help lessen the financial toll on the victims and ease some of their emotional distress.
Potential financial compensation may include the following:
- Any out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident or recovery from severe injuries
- Disability, disfigurement, and dismemberment compensation for victims left permanently scarred by their accident injuries
- Emotional distress, mental anguish, psychological trauma, and compensation for necessary mental health therapy
- Lost wages and lost income earning capacity if the injured victim is unable to return to their place of employment
- Past medical bills and future medical expenses, including expenses for long-term care, rehabilitation services, surgeries, pharmaceutical medication, and more
- Physical pain and suffering compensation
- Property damage compensation and financial recovery for necessary repairs
- Wrongful death benefits, which may include loss of benefits, loss of income, and loss of companionship or consortium, as well as burial, funeral, and memorial expenses
Depending on the severity of the behavior that caused the accident, a court may also award punitive damages to the victims or their families. Punitive damages are meant to punish defendants for egregious wrongdoing or wanton carelessness while deterring others from committing similar acts.
What Can You Do if You Lose a Loved One in a Wrongful Death Accident?
If you have lost a family member in a tragic accident, such as a motor vehicle crash, contact our experienced attorneys to discuss whether you have a valid claim to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Texas.
According to state law, only specific individuals can file wrongful death lawsuits, including surviving spouses, children, and sometimes the parents of the deceased. In most cases, the siblings of the deceased do not have legal grounds to seek damages in a wrongful death case.
Our personal injury lawyers have extensive experience representing grieving families through the legal processes of wrongful death cases. You should not be expected to navigate the complex legal system in pursuit of justice and financial compensation while you are in a state of grief. Instead, rely on the legal services of our Texas law firm to assist you in the pursuit of a fair settlement.
While no amount of financial compensation can ever hope to return your lost loved one to you, the hope is to make you ‘financially whole’ again and help lift the burden created by the death of your family member
