Dallas Personal Injury Lawyers Bring in The Muscle

Texas follows the legal concept of modified comparative negligence. Basically, if a plaintiff is less at fault than the defendant for their injury, they can still seek payment from the defendant. However, their recovery is reduced by the percentage of fault they contributed.

For example, if the plaintiff is 20 percent at fault for a car accident, their potential compensation would be reduced by 20 percent. However, if the plaintiff is 51 percent or more at fault, they cannot recover compensation.

Navigating the complexities of comparative negligence can be challenging without the guidance of an experienced Dallas personal injury lawyer. When you work with our skilled attorneys, we will work to reduce your share of responsibility and increase your potential recovery.

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is generally two years. This means most injured people have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for their injuries.

However, some exceptions may apply depending on the specific circumstances of your case. A knowledgeable attorney at DFW Injury Lawyers can determine the filing deadline for your specific case and handle your claim promptly and professionally.

The duration of a personal injury lawsuit varies based on several factors, such as the case’s complexity, the number of parties involved, and their willingness to settle outside court.

Typically, resolving injury claims in Dallas takes anywhere from several months to several years. Our Dallas personal injury lawyers can give you a more accurate estimate based on the specifics of your case during a free consultation.

Whether the defendant intended harm or not, you can still hold them responsible for your personal injury. In personal injury cases, we do not always have to prove intent to show liability.

As long as the responsible party owed a duty of care and breached that duty, causing you injury, you can pursue a personal injury claim.

First, you can sue a negligent truck driver for your injuries. Truck drivers must operate their vehicles safely and follow traffic laws. If they fail to do so and cause an accident that results in injuries, victims may pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

In addition to the driver, you may have the right to bring a claim against the trucking company, a manufacturer of defective parts, a company that misloaded the truck, or other responsible entities in a Dallas trucking accident lawsuit.

No set formula determines the value of a personal injury claim because they vary case by case. Factors that can influence a claim’s value include the injury’s severity, the cost of medical treatment, and the impact on daily life.

An experienced lawyer can assess your case and calculate a fair settlement amount that fairly compensates you for your injury.

Calculating the value of pain and suffering in a personal injury case is not straightforward, as no single method precisely determines the worth of these intangible losses.

Some insurers multiply the value of economic damages, such as medical bills and lost wages, by a certain number (the multiplier). The multiplier is typically between 1.5 and 5, depending on the severity of the accident or injuries. Another approach involves determining an appropriate daily value for the injury and multiplying it by the number of days the victim was in recovery.

Your unique circumstances may justify a different amount than either of these mathematical calculations. Our skilled injury lawyers can explain more during a free consultation.
