Cases You Can Bring to Our Personal Injury Attorneys

After an accident that caused you harm, you might not know what to do next. If you’re injured, have other damages, and weren’t at fault for what happened to you, then you might be able to hold the liable party responsible through a personal injury claim. At Buckingham & Vega Law Firm, we handle many different kinds of cases.

Our Fort Worth, TX personal injury lawyers are prepared to handle claims surrounding:

Car Accidents
Truck Accidents
Motorcycle Accidents
Premises Liability Accidents

If you recognize one of the situations listed above as what happened to you, then you know we can help you with your legal claim. If you don’t see your accident listed above, don’t worry. We still might be able to help you. If you were injured through someone else’s negligence in Fort Worth, then it’s likely you’re able to file a claim.

Our personal injury attorneys can answer all of your questions and help you determine if legal action is an option for you. From there, we’ll look into proving negligence, which is the most essential part of your claim. Let’s take a look at what that means and how your lawyers will accomplish it.

Proving Negligence in Personal Injury Claims

Once you hire a lawyer to help you with your case, you’ll be better prepared for what comes next. They’ll guide you through the process, which starts with proving that the other party was negligent, making them responsible for what happened to you. Your personal injury attorney will work to investigate your claim so that they can prove the elements of negligence were present.

Those elements are:

The other party owed you a duty of care.
That breach caused you to get injured.
They breached that duty of care through an act of negligence.
Those injuries led to you suffering damages.

When your lawyer can prove these elements, then it’s likely that the other party will be fully or mostly responsible for your accident and subsequent injuries. However, Texas follows a modified comparative negligence law that we call proportionate responsibility. This means that if you were at all at fault, your compensation could be reduced by the percentage you were at fault.

If you were more than 50 percent at fault, then you won’t be able to recover any compensation, according to proportionate responsibility. That’s why proving negligence is so essential to your claim—if you can’t prove they’re more than half at fault for what happened, then you might not have a case.

When you hire our Fort Worth, TX personal injury attorney, we’ll start working to gather evidence that proves the other party caused what happened to you and your damages. Your police report, medical records, any bills that show the costs you suffered, photographs, witness statements, and proof of lost wages can all provide evidence that you weren’t at fault.

Common Costs Caused by Accidents in Fort Worth, TX

After fault has been proven, your lawyer will likely start focusing on the damages that you should recover for what you’ve suffered. Economic and noneconomic damages are the most common types of financial compensation that are recovered in personal injury claims.

Economic damages are the physical costs that you incurred, whereas noneconomic damages are the more abstract costs that you endure after your accident. Here are some of the most common costs victims of accidents endure that factor into your attorney’s calculation of how much you’re owed:

Medical Bills
Repair Costs
Lost Wages
Pain and Suffering
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
Loss of Consortium (in the event of a wrongful death)

While punitive damages are possible in personal injury claims, they’re very rarely recovered. These are damages used to punish the party at fault for gross negligence. These costs help prevent this party and others from doing this in the future.

Our Fort Worth, TX personal injury lawyers are prepared to fight to get you full and fair compensation for the damages you’ve incurred. The other party and their insurance company will likely try to get you to settle for less, but we won’t let you.

"Thank God we found him. He really seemed to care about our family."
Mr. Buckingham won our case after two other law firms said it would be impossible to win. He knew the medicine better than the experts in the case. I guess the fact that he’s also a doctor was a great help.

Former Client
"He truly was impressive."
Mr. Buckingham flew to the East Coast several times & understood how a correct gall bladder surgery is supposed to be done better than the surgeon. He was very knowledgeable & precise.

Former Client
"If you want real-life heroes contact these guys. They cared when no one else did."
When I first contacted Mr.Vega, I knew he was different because he listened to me with compassion. Mr. Vega and his team gave me hope and most important they gave my son a better life.

Former Client
"Adrian Vega and his law firm changed my family's life."
They fought for my injured baby and made sure we would be taken care of for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend this law firm.

Former Client
"My family is better off having them in our corner."
We turned to him when we had nowhere else to go. Turns out it was the best decision we could have ever made. They represented us in a difficult case and made those responsible accountable for their actions.

Former Client
"Nothing but the best of the best."
This was an experience I'll never forget and felt like family and not a business associate. Adrian kept me informed and up to date on all matters of the lawsuit. Needless to say, I received more ( much more ) than expected...

Former Client
"Very professional firm and well knowledgeable!"
I would highly recommend using Buckingham & Vega if you have been injured in an accident. Very professional firm and well knowledgeable!

Former Client
"Highly Recommend"
We had a great experience working with Adrian. He was very professional and guided my family through a difficult situation.
