Experienced Attorney Fighting for Clients in Personal Injury Cases in Carrollton, TX
Around 40 million ER visits in the U.S. are due to injuries every year. With injuries ranging from mild fractures to life-threatening catastrophic injuries, patients can suffer various losses. When another party's intentional act or negligence causes those wounds, the victims could be eligible to obtain compensation through a personal injury claim. Families of fatal accident victims may also collect compensation by filing a wrongful death claim. However, securing maximum compensation is unlikely unless you have a skilled attorney as your advocate.

Understanding Personal Injury Cases in Carrollton
Most personal injury claims require you to have evidence proving that someone else's willful act or negligence was directly responsible for your accident, wounds, and associated losses. Claims involving dangerous products, such as defective medical products or car parts, are typically based on strict liability. Negligence can take many forms, depending on the type of accident.
The process usually begins with an investigation to find evidence that determines fault and establishes liability. You can then file an insurance claim against the at-fault party's liability coverage. Your damages are calculated using case-specific factors, and the insurer knows how much your case is worth. Your damages may include:
- Pain and suffering
- Medical treatment
- Property damage
- Lost enjoyment of life
- Lost income
- Future accident-related financial losses
The insurer will almost certainly take measures to reduce your payout. Your lawyer can negotiate for an acceptable settlement offer or file a civil lawsuit and take your case to court.
Our firm is known for our readiness to take cases to trial, which gives you an advantage. Insurers are more likely to offer a reasonable sum through settlement negotiations if they know your lawyer is prepared to go to court. Our litigation experience means that if we do proceed to trial, we know what it takes to win.
