Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?
Immediately after an accident, your first concern should be safety. Check for injuries and call emergency services if necessary. Collect evidence if you're able, including photos of the scene and contact information of witnesses. It's crucial to report the incident to your insurance and seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. Documenting your injuries can be vital for any future legal claims. Lastly, consider reaching out to a personal injury attorney at McDowell Law Group LLP to learn more about your rights and ensure that evidence is preserved.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. This might seem like ample time, but it's essential to start your claim process early. Key evidence might fade, and witness memories can become unreliable. Additionally, initiating a claim promptly can help ensure all legal requirements and procedural steps are followed accurately, helping to strengthen your case.
How Is Fault Determined in Personal Injury Cases?
Determining fault in personal injury cases often requires a thorough investigation. This includes gathering evidence, consulting experts, and sometimes recreating accident scenarios. Texas employs a modified comparative negligence system, meaning you can recover damages as long as you're less than 51% at fault. Accurately establishing the degree of fault is where competent legal representation comes into play, ensuring you have a fair chance at receiving desired compensation.
What Compensation Is Available for Personal Injury Claims?
Compensation in personal injury claims can cover a variety of damages. These include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Compensation for non-economic damages may apply as well, such as loss of consortium or emotional distress. Each case varies, and our legal team at McDowell Law Group LLP is adept at evaluating your situation to pursue the maximum compensation allowed by law for your circumstances.
