Personal Injury Lawyers Dedicated to Helping People in Texas
Nada puede arruinar más su vida y la de su familia como una emergencia médica inesperada. Las lesiones a menudo hacen que las personas se sientan vulnerables y abrumadas. La vida ya es bastante ocupada y difícil: verse obligado a hacer frente a problemas de salud graves añade una carga siempre desagradable.
The inconvenience of injuries isn’t the only problem facing people injured in slip and falls, car crashes or other types of premises liability accidents. There’s also the matter of money.
Many people in Texas have high deductibles or simply lack the necessary health care coverage to adequately pay for all the medical treatments and rehabilitation they may require after an accident.
And why should you be forced to pay for injuries you sustained because of someone else’s carelessness? The truth is you shouldn’t be paying for injuries you didn’t cause. The responsible person and their insurance company should be footing the bill for all the medical treatments, lost wages and pain and suffering you incurred due to the accident they instigated.
Desafortunadamente, las compañías de seguros no siempre son altruistas en su enfoque hacia las víctimas de lesiones. Su objetivo fundamental, como empresas, es ganar dinero. Cada reclamo que pagan es una pérdida para ellos.
That’s why insurers often try to find some contract loophole, threaten to take the injured person to court or use their army of claims adjusters and lawyers to intimidate injured people during negotiations. Their aim is to convince injured people to settle for less than they deserve.

Texas Personal Injury Laws
Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases, meaning you have two years after your injury to file a lawsuit against the negligent party that injured you and their insurance company.
Texas uses a 50-percent modified comparative negligence standard in personal injury cases. If you are partially at fault for the car crash, slip and fall or premises liability accident that caused your injuries, you can still seek compensation. As long as you’re not mostly at fault, you might have a case.

Our experienced attorneys are well aware of these statutory caps and will be able to advise you regarding same

Some of these other damages can include lost earning potential, future medical expenses, career retraining and more.
