Common Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Lockhart
A serious injury can disrupt daily life in ways most people are not prepared for, from medical treatment and missed work to uncertainty about insurance and legal options. With years of experience handling personal injury cases across Caldwell County, I regularly answer these questions from injured clients in Lockhart and nearby communities.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
In most cases, Texas law provides a two-year statute of limitations starting from the date of the accident. If a claim is not filed within that period, recovery may be barred, regardless of the severity of the injuries.
What types of compensation may be available?
Depending on the facts of the case, compensation may include medical bills, future medical care, lost income, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and non-economic losses such as physical pain and emotional distress. Each case is evaluated based on documented losses and long-term impact.
Do I need medical treatment before contacting a personal injury lawyer?
Medical care should always be addressed first. However, contacting a lawyer early helps preserve evidence, document injuries properly, and avoid missteps when insurance companies begin asking questions.
What if the insurance company says I was partially at fault?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system. You may still recover compensation as long as you are not found more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. Disputed liability is common, and fault determinations often depend on evidence developed during the claims process.
Will my case have to go to trial?
Many personal injury cases resolve through settlement, but not all do. I prepare every case with the expectation that trial may be necessary, which often places the client in a stronger position during negotiations.
How are personal injury attorney’s fees handled?
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis. Attorney’s fees are only collected if compensation is recovered, and there is no upfront cost for case evaluation or representation.
