Richardson Personal Injury Lawyer

Personal Injury Attorney Serving Dallas, Collin, Garland, Plano

Being involved in a car accident or any other kind of accident is scary, especially when the accident is due to another person's negligence. If you have recently suffered a serious personal injury, you might be owed significant compensation from the responsible party. Because insurance companies are notoriously difficult to deal with, working with an experienced personal injury lawyer in  Richardson, TX, is key.

The Steps You Need to Take Following an Accident

Few people know what steps to take in the wake of a serious accident that results in a personal injury, and the truth is that working with the right lawyer many of these things won't have to be your number one worry. That being said, there are things to keep track of:

• Get medical help immediately. Some common personal injuries like traumatic brain injuries might not show symptoms for hours or days following the accident. As such, it is important to be checked out by a medical professional as soon as you are able to.
• Don't deal with the insurance company. Let your attorney handle all communication on your behalf. Insurance companies do not care about protecting your best interests so it is wise to simply avoid and let your attorney deal with them.
• Hire the right lawyer. Once you have received medical attention and filed a police report following the accident, you can hire a lawyer. They will handle all the legal aspects of filing a claim and help you to maximize your personal injury settlement or lawsuit.

Whatever the details of your personal injury, our firm is confident in our ability to help and encourage you to reach out and have a conversation about your options.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

We know that no two personal injury cases look the same. That being said, personal injury cases most commonly occur as a result of:

• Car Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Slip and Fall Accidents/Premises Liability
• Product Liability
• Medical Malpractice
• Inadequate Security

What Does It Mean to Be Negligent?

It is important to keep in mind, for better or worse, that Richardson is a fault-based state. This means that the person responsible for the accident is the person responsible for financial restitution– though it is important to note that there is room for negotiation with an insurance company (but you still deserve compensation from that responsible party).

Examples of what might establish someone as responsible for a personal injury include:

• In the event of a car accident, a driver is being asked to pay for injuries to the other driver because they were driving drunk and made a mistake.  
• Any driver responsible for causing a car wreck, meaning that they were doing something they were not supposed to be doing, or perhaps speeding.
• A manufacturing company that created a product that caused more harm than good to the consumer.  
• A fall that occurred because the proper safety features were not in place in a store (lack of a needed sign while cleaning, slipping is a hazard while you are responsible to this store; a hole in the floor).

Figuring out and proving who the responsible party is can be difficult.

How to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit

If you have suffered a personal injury and wish to file a lawsuit in Richardson, you might not even know where to begin. Oftentimes, individuals are scared to file personal injury lawsuits because they aren't even sure they have a case in the first place.

1. If you've been in a car accident and wish to be paid for it, the first step you should take is to call 9-1-1.
2. Listen to your doctor. Oftentimes, people who have been in a personal injury accident have no clear answers in the beginning. This can cause you to fall into debt for medical bills as well as lost wages. Listen to your doctor and follow their advice to ensure this doesn't happen to you.
3. It is crucial to know, when filing a claim, that you have a two-year statute of limitations. This means that you have two years from the date of your car accident. This deadline is non-negotiable.
4. Having a successful personal injury case in Richardson relies on proving that the negligent party owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty of care, and that this directly caused you harm.
