Pharr, TX Attorney For Car Accident & Personal Injury Claims

When you’ve been injured in an accident due to the negligence of someone else, you are distraught and overwhelmed. You are taking time off work while still accumulating medical bills. You may be so severely injured you don’t know what your future holds. This is the time for you to contact a Pharr, Texas personal injury lawyer and schedule a free consultation.

It’s important to schedule that consultation as soon as possible. Texas law requires you to file your claim for compensation two years from the date of the accident that caused your injury. If you miss the deadline, there is no forgiveness. You lose your right to request compensation.

How Can a Pharr, Texas Personal Injury Lawyer Help?

If the negligent person or business has insurance, there is a strong chance you will be contacted by a nice adjuster who acts sympathetically and makes you a settlement offer. You really need the money and are tempted to accept the offer.

Remember: the adjuster is not working for you. Adjusters work for the insurance company and their job is to save their boss money. Therefore, the offer to you is always low and generally does not consider expenses you may incur in the future because of your injury, 

Statistics show that those who work with a personal injury lawyer obtain substantially higher compensation for damages than those who try to settle their cases by themselves without the help of a lawyer. There are damages to which you are legally entitled that you may not even think of.

What damages can I collect for my personal injury case in Pharr?

The purpose of compensating you for your injuries is to “make you whole.” This means the negligent defendant must try, as much as possible, to return you to the physical and emotional state you were in prior to the negligent act.

Examples of the types of compensatory damages to which you may be entitled include:

• Compensation for all your hospital and medical bills you have accumulated so far due to the accident, plus the amount you are projected to incur in the future.
• Compensation for the wages you have lost so far, plus the amount you are projected to lose in the future due to your injury.
• Vocational rehabilitation if you are unable to return to your former career and must undergo retraining.
• Lost future earning capacity if you are permanently disabled due to the negligent act and unable to work or only able to work in a job that doesn’t pay as much as your previous earning capacity..
• Reimbursement for all out-of-pocket expenses you incurred that are related to your medical treatment. This means food and motel expenses if you have to travel for treatment.
• Pain and suffering.
• Possible emotional distress.
• Loss of enjoyment of life.
