Commercial truck collisions involve complex regulations and multiple liable parties including trucking companies, drivers, and maintenance providers.

DUI Injury Cases

For victims of drunk driving accidents, we pursue compensation from both the intoxicated driver and potentially liable third parties like bars that over-served alcohol. We document all damages while helping law enforcement build criminal cases.

Rideshare Accidents

Uber and Lyft accidents involve unique insurance considerations and coverage periods. We understand rideshare company policies, handle claims against multiple insurers, and navigate the complexities of driver employment status.

What Types of Compensation Can I Pursue After a Personal Injury Accident?

A personal injury case could result in a fair settlement covering the compensatory damages you endured due to your accident. These losses might include economic and non-economic damages related to your injuries.

Economic and Non-economic Losses

If you plan to pursue a personal injury claim or lawsuit, you could pursue many forms of financial compensation for your losses. 

Some of these losses could include:

  • Lost income and other financial losses
  • Medical expenses stemming from your injury, including future medical expenses your doctors think you may need to recover
  • Income that you are likely to lose in the future
  • Suffering such as mental anguish or emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium
  • Physical pain

A Fort Worth personal injury lawyer can take account of all your losses, assign them a dollar value, and pursue compensation for you based on that figure.

Some accident victims may qualify for punitive damages, although this compensation is rare. These exemplary damages often apply when the other driver was grossly negligent, and caps on damages may apply. Our personal injury lawyers will seek whatever damages apply in order to get you what you deserve.

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Fort Worth?

Most people do not have piles of extra money sitting around, particularly after getting injured in an accident or losing a close relative.

As a result, many people assume they cannot afford to have a personal injury attorney represent them in their accident, wrongful death claim, or lawsuit. We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay any upfront legal fees.

We work tirelessly for you throughout the entire case and wait patiently until the end to get paid. We receive a portion of the settlement proceeds or jury award. We do not get paid unless you win. So, it is fair to say that we bet our very paycheck on your case’s strength and our representation’s strength.

How Do I Know if I Have a Personal Injury Claim?

The American Bar Association (ABA) notes that a critical aspect of your personal injury lawsuit is negligence. The ABA explains that a person may be negligent if:

  • The person owed you a fundamental duty of care to keep you reasonably safe.
  • They acted in a way that was either “careless,” “thoughtless,” or failed to act in a manner that would have prevented you from suffering foreseeable harm.
  • Their negligence caused or contributed to harm to you or your loved one, including injury or death.
  • The injury or death led you to experience quantifiable losses.
  • Physical injuries satisfy the requirement of measurable damages.

While these elements may generally outline what makes a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, more specific acts could qualify as negligence and allow you to bring a claim.

What is the Statute Of Limitations in Texas?

If you are considering your legal options, keep in mind that there is a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit after an injury accident, per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. We can tell you more about how the statute of limitations may affect your case, as there may be some exceptions to this deadline, depending on the details of your situation.

Generally, if you wait more than two years to begin the process of your case, you could lose your chance to seek compensation from the responsible party. The sooner you start, the more time you give your legal team to build a strong case.

Common Types Of Injuries Sustained in Personal Injury Accidents

Personal injury accidents may produce various injuries, including catastrophic injuries that may cause severe physical and emotional distress for the rest of your life. Some of the most severe injuries that may come from a negligent act:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) could occur alongside other serious injuries, such as a fractured skull
  • Broken bones
  • Spinal injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Burns
  • Road rash
  • Whiplash
  • Injuries to your vital organs
  • Tendon or ligament injuries
  • Internal bleeding
  • Torn rotator cuff
  • Dislocated joints
