Assess Damages

If you do not know how much your injuries are worth, the liable party’s insurance company could easily convince you to take less than you deserve. We want to prevent that from happening.

If you want an attorney that treats you like family, answers all your questions with ease and will fight for you, just ask for Justin Edwards! It was such a relief knowing he was on my side. He followed through with everything he promised and that is a rare attribute to find in a person these days. Just go ahead and give them a call!

The guidance and patience exhibited by Attorney LaRue and his team were paramount in the successful navigation of this event for my family and I. In a perfect world I won't have to ring his phone anytime soon, but should the Truck of Life dump on me again, I wouldn't hesitate to dial them up.

What is the Statute Of Limitations for Slip and Fall Accidents in Texas?

The statute of limitations (codified at Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003), gives accident victims two years to take action after a slip and fall accident. If you fail to file a lawsuit within this time frame, your case may be dismissed and you will be unable to recover any compensation for your accident-related losses.

What Are Common Causes Of Slip and Fall Accidents in Brownsville, TX?

In Brownsville, slip and fall accidents are commonly caused by:

  • Missing or broken handrails
  • Wet surfaces
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Broken walkways, including sidewalks or staircases
  • Missing stairs
  • Overgrown grass or foliage
  • Tripping hazards, including exposed wiring
  • Loose carpeting

What Compensation Can I Pursue After a Slip and Fall Accident?

Under Texas law, you have the right to sue for compensation for both economic (financial) and non-economic (physical and emotional) losses. The key is to be able to connect those losses with the accident in some way, which makes the liable party’s insurance company responsible for paying them. 
In some cases, the victim of a slip and fall accident can pursue compensation for the following:

  • Past and future medical bills, including costs related to hospital stays, medication, therapy, home nursing, and other necessary treatments
  • Other expenses, such as hiring someone to help you around the house
  • Loss of wages, if you had to reduce working hours or take sick leave to allow your injuries time to heal
  • Loss of employment, if your injuries cost you your job and/or your ability to seek other work in your chosen field
  • Scar tissue, if your injuries left noticeable marks that affect your range of motion, your appearance, or your self-image
  • Reduced quality of life, such as an inability to live alone, perform basic tasks of living, or resume the lifestyle you enjoyed prior to the accident
  • Loss of consortium, which includes the loss or diminishment of your relationship with your spouse or other close relatives

What is My Case Worth?

It is impossible to predict how much you can recover without consulting with you. This is because slip and fall settlement amounts depend on factors specific to each person’s individual case. 

These factors may include:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • Whether you are unable to return to work at all
  • Your prognosis
  • What types of damages are covered by the liable party’s insurance company
  • Whether the insurance company complies with or fights your lawsuit
  • Your payout may also depend on how much evidence is available to show that the liable party is responsible for your injury.

And other variables.

Ideally, you should be able to collect enough compensation to cover all accident-related bills, support yourself while you are unable to work, and make up in some small way for the physical and emotional pain you have endured. Whatever that amount turns out to be, Loncar Lyon Jenkins can push the insurance company to pay it in a timely fashion.

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Slip and Fall Injury Lawyer in Brownsville?

At Loncar Lyon Jenkins, our slip and fall injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. With this type of payment arrangement, you will owe no upfront costs and you will pay nothing unless your case is successful. If you do win your case, your attorney will subtract a small percentage of your settlement or award to cover the cost of the legal services provided.
