Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Houston, Texas
Filing a lawsuit is not always straightforward. It could be complicated, and in some cases, a long-term process. The first step, in any case, is to assess whether the statute of limitations has run. In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003. This means that if a plaintiff tries to file their case two years after their injury, they are barred from bringing a lawsuit in court. After a Houston personal injury lawyer determines the statute of limitations, they would initiate the pleadings phase by filing a summons and complaint, alleging the facts of the case. Both parties would then assert their claims. If the case makes it past the pleadings phase, it goes to discovery, where each party develops their case for trial. If the case makes it through discovery, it goes to trial, very few cases ever do. At trial, the jury renders a decision, which could be appealed by either party.

Houston Wrongful Death accidents
If you lost a loved one due to the negligence of another individual, you could be entitled to compensation. We understand that no amount of money will ever be able to make up for the loss of a loved one; however, it is still important to hold the guilty party responsible for their actions so that the same tragedy does not affect anyone else. If a loved one was killed in a car accident, by a dangerous drug, or on the premises of another person, the guilty party should be held accountable for what they have done. You could receive compensation for your pain and suffering, funeral arrangements, burial costs, and well as lost income. We know that filing a lawsuit will not make the situation any easier, but it could bring a sense of justice and closure.
If the victim does not die from the personal injury accident, they could still be left dealing with serious injuries. Among the most common are brain injuries, burn injuries, and spinal cord injuries. In some cases, the victim is able to fully recover and get back to normal, but in other cases, they can be left dealing with permanent disabilities. If this is the case, they will not only need compensation for their initial medical bills but for the life-long treatment and care they will require. If your injury was sustained while on the property of another individual, they could be held responsible for your injuries under premises liability law. Owners owe people on their property a certain duty of care and if they are negligent in ensuring that their premises are safe, they could have to pay for any medical expenses which resulted.
Houston Personal Injury Attorneys Fighting for Compensation & Just Resolutions
In the wake of a serious accident or other incident which results in injury, you could be entitled to compensation. We realize that monetary compensation will in no way make up for the trauma and fear that is caused by an accident, yet it is still important that you hold the guilty individual accountable for what they have done. If you do not, the same incident could happen to another victim. Another reason it is important to file a personal injury claim is so that you do not have to bear the added financial burden which can result. You can receive a settlement or the judge can order that you are reimbursed for any medical treatment you already received. Not only that, but the amount of medical care you will need in the future can be determined and included in the award. If you had to take time off of work, lost wages can also be compensated for.
Our willingness to go to trial contributes not only to the negotiation process but allows us to exploit all avenues available for the pursuit of justice for our clients. The background some of our attorneys have in defending insurance companies also provides us with invaluable insight into how these companies operate as they endeavor to settle with as small a payout as possible. We know exactly how to counteract their tactics and do so aggressively. As proud members of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, Houston Trial Lawyers Association, and the American Association for Justice, we work zealously to protect the rights of our clients. We charge no fee if we do not recover a settlement or award on your behalf and also offer a free case evaluation and consultation. Whatever accident or injury you have suffered, we can help. Please do not wait to get the legal representation you deserve. Who you choose as representation makes all the difference in the outcome of your case. You need an experienced and aggressive advocate on your side.
