Why Choose Tellez Law?
If you've been injured in an accident, Texas law offers protection to help you recover damages. If another person or entity was negligent in causing the injury, you may be entitled to compensation. This compensation could cover medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and sometimes even punitive damages.
Under Texas' comparative fault laws, you may still be entitled to compensation if you were partially at fault for the accident, as long as you were no more than 51% responsible. However, it's crucial to note that personal injury claims must typically be filed within two years of the incident, or you may forfeit your right to compensation.
The Process of Filing a Personal Injury Claim
The first step in a personal injury case involves contacting the at-fault party's insurance carrier. As your attorney, we will handle the communication with insurance companies while you focus on your recovery. Once your injuries and damages have been assessed, we will submit a demand for payment to the insurance companies.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, litigation may be necessary. This involves filing a lawsuit and proceeding with discovery, where we gather evidence of negligence. If the case goes to trial, a jury will determine liability, your potential fault (if any), and the amount of compensation.
Because personal injury cases can be complex, it's essential to work with an experienced law firm like Tellez Law. We are here to provide the legal guidance you need to navigate the process and ensure that your rights are fully protected.
