How much is my personal injury claim worth?
Every personal injury case in Laredo is different. Even similar injuries might be worth significantly more or less in separate cases. The difference often depends on many different factors, including:
- The severity of the injury
- Types of medical care required
- Future medical treatments that will be needed
- Property damage
- Work missed due to injury
- Lost future income if you are unable to return to work
Add all these expenses up and your Laredo injury claim or lawsuit can easily be worth thousands of dollars or significantly more. What matters most is you should be compensated for all your financial losses, now and in the future. That’s why it’s important that you have an experienced Laredo personal injury attorney on your side, helping you understand the full financial impact of your injury case.
Should I accept a settlement for my personal injury claim?
Soon after you get hurt in Laredo, don’t be surprised if the at-fault party’s insurance company contacts you and offers to give you money to pay for your injury-related expenses. You might be very tempted to accept such an offer, especially if you have large medical bills from Laredo Medical Center or have not been able to work for several weeks or longer.
But what you might not realize is if you agree to accept a settlement offer, that’s it. Your case is settled, once and for all. If you need additional money in the future for medical care, replacement income or other unexpected financial losses, you can’t get more from the insurance company.
That’s why it’s important to carefully consider any settlement offer before agreeing to accept it. Our Laredo law firm can meet with you and help you decide whether any offer you receive is a good one. And if we believe you deserve more money, we can work to negotiate a better settlement offer on your behalf.
Can I file a lawsuit for my Laredo personal injury?
Yes. You have the right to take legal action if you sustained an injury due to someone else’s reckless or negligent actions. The key to your case is you need to show that someone else’s actions – or inaction – caused your injury and resulted in a financial loss.
This might sound straightforward. But the reality is building a strong, successful personal injury lawsuit often takes a lot of work. You need solid evidence in support of your lawsuit. That’s where we come in.
A Laredo personal injury attorney can help you file your lawsuit and make sure your legal case meets all the necessary legal deadlines and requirements in Texas. That way, you won’t miss out on your opportunity to obtain the financial compensation you rightfully deserve.
Can I sue for pain and suffering?
In many cases, yes, you can file a lawsuit seeking damages (money for financial losses) for pain and suffering. Compensation for pain and suffering is normally classified as non-economic losses, since there is no direct financial impact. In contrast, medical bills or vehicle repairs are considered economic losses since they have a specific financial value.
Obtaining compensation for pain and suffering for a personal injury can often be very difficult in many circumstances. That’s because the insurance company for the at-fault party – which is usually responsible for paying for your injury accident – often disputes whether you’re in pain and refuses to pay such compensation.
The truth is pain and suffering is real. You know it. We know it. That’s why our Laredo law firm works hard to obtain compensation for pain and suffering, which can disrupt your entire life and leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated and overwhelmed.
How much time do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?
In most cases in Texas, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit seeking damages, the legal term for compensation for financial losses due to negligence. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations.
Two years might seem like a long time. You probably also have a lot to worry about if you sustained a serious injury – whether it’s getting the proper medical care or taking time off to recover from your accident.
But if you don’t act fast, you could miss out on building a strong legal case. Evidence can quickly be lost or destroyed. Witnesses might forget important details. And without that information, your lawsuit could face an uphill battle in the court handling your case.
How much does it cost to hire a Laredo personal injury lawyer?
Expenses can add up fast after a serious injury accident. From medical care to vehicle repairs or other property damage, you probably have a lot of bills coming in that you never planned on before you got hurt.
Fortunately, you don’t have worry about whether or not you can afford to hire a lawyer. That’s because our law firm works on a contingency fee basis. That means you only have to pay us if we secured a financial settlement or verdict for you. If we don’t obtain any money for your injury, you don’t have to pay us anything. It’s that simple.
