Houston Personal Injury FAQ
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Houston, Texas?
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline (statute of limitations) usually means losing your right to sue, though some exceptions might apply depending on case specifics. Consult a lawyer early to protect your claim.
What factors determine the value of my personal injury case?
Case value depends on severity of injuries, medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and defendant's degree of fault. Objective injuries and clear liability tend to increase case worth. Lawyers also consider treatment costs and quality of evidence.
Can I still recover compensation if I am partially at fault for the accident?
Yes, Texas follows modified comparative negligence. You can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault—for example, if 20% at fault, your compensation decreases 20%. If you are more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovery.
How can a Houston personal injury lawyer help me maximize my settlement?
A lawyer protects your rights, negotiates with insurance companies, gathers strong evidence, and ensures fair liability allocation. They also prevent lowball offers and manage complex legal procedures, often resulting in higher settlements than self-representation.
What types of damages can I claim in a personal injury lawsuit in Texas?
You can claim medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, scarring, disfigurement, and property damage if caused by defendant's negligence. Additional claims like spousal damages may apply in some cases.
Should I accept the first settlement offer from the insurance company?
No. The first offer is typically lower than what you deserve. It's wise to consult an attorney to evaluate the offer's fairness, negotiate higher compensation, or prepare for litigation if needed.
What expenses will I have to pay upfront during my personal injury case?
Usually, lawyers work on contingency, meaning no upfront fees, and they cover initial costs. You may have to pay for some medical treatments upfront unless the lawyer arranges "letters of protection" allowing deferred payments until settlement.
How do I know if I need a personal injury lawyer or can handle the claim myself?
Complex cases with serious injuries, disputed liability, or insurance pushback benefit from experienced attorneys. You might handle minor cases, but having legal counsel usually increases your chances of fair compensation and reduces procedural risks.
How long does it typically take for a personal injury case to settle in Houston?
Settlement timelines vary widely. Simple claims may resolve in a few months, while complex cases with disputes or litigation can take a year or more. Your lawyer will keep you informed and work to resolve efficiently.
What questions should I ask a personal injury lawyer before hiring them?
Ask about their experience with similar cases, trial success, how your case will be handled, fee structure, and communication methods. Choosing a lawyer specialized in Texas personal injury law ensures knowledgeable and dedicated representation.
