When you are ready to pursue a personal injury lawsuit in McKinney, you must do so before the statute of limitations in Texas expires. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, you will have just two years to file your lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out. When it does, you likely will lose your right to seek damages from the liable party.
Two years can seem like plenty of time to file your case. However, the longer you wait to get help, the higher the risk that we will be unable to recover time-sensitive evidence. For example, if there is video footage of the accident, we may have just days or weeks before someone overwrites or deletes the video footage. If our lawyer promptly starts your case, we can obtain the evidence we need to prove liability in your case.
You may also be wondering if your injuries are severe enough to warrant a lawsuit or insurance claim. You could be diagnosed with many injuries, but it is the extent to which your injuries affect your life that will determine your right to compensation.
However, people sue for some types of injuries more frequently than others. Some of these injuries or illnesses include:
It never hurts to ask a lawyer if your injuries are severe enough to warrant hiring a lawyer; however, those with severe injuries are more likely to suffer complications in their case, so severely injured people should put special consideration into getting legal help. These people may have a harder time getting the insurance company to pay for all of their medical treatment. They may also have a difficult time dealing with the legal counsel for the at-fault party, as they are more highly motivated to deny their liability.
This list of possible injuries is not complete, so if you don’t see your injury listed, you could still seek legal action against the liable party. You can find out more about getting financial recovery for your damages by working with a Loncar Lyon Jenkins injury lawyer in McKinney.
The percentage your attorney takes should be told to you upfront–before you ever sign an agreement. While the percentage will vary depending on who you hire, industry standards range between 25 and 50 percent. Other factors can determine how much the lawyer will take. For example, if your case proceeds to trial, they may deduct additional fees for the manpower and time it takes to resolve these more high-needs cases.
Settlement timelines vary depending on the circumstances. As a general rule, it can take anywhere between a few weeks to a few years to resolve a case. Factors that could lengthen this amount of time include:
There is no “average” amount for a bodily injury settlement. Your financial compensation will depend on your unique losses. The extent of your medical expenses and lost wages make up a huge percentage of the final settlement or court award. If you suffer disabling injuries that will affect your employment long-term (or cause extreme suffering), this could also affect your final award.
After you sign a settlement agreement, or the court awards your financial compensation, the check will pass through several hands before it gets to you. First, the insurance company will write the check (or arrange for your payment installments), then, your attorney will use the amount you are awarded to pay off your debts and deduct their fees. After you’re free and clear of your financial obligations, the rest will be sent to you.
