Types of Claims Our Personal Injury Lawyers Can Handle

After being in an accident that you weren’t expecting, you might not know where to turn.

Common Injuries Suffered in Arlington Accidents

One of the main elements of your personal injury claim is in the name—the injury. You might have one or more injuries from the accident you were in, and they can range from mild to severe. Some injuries are more catastrophic than others and could lead to you suffering from even more damages if they will affect the rest of your life through future treatment costs or the inability to return to work.

Here are some of the most common injuries that personal injury lawyers see in Arlington, TX:

Cuts and Lacerations
Bruises
Soft Tissue Injuries
Burns
Fractures
Infections
Internal Organ Damage
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Spinal Cord Injuries
Amputations
Paralysis

Depending on what kind of accident you were involved in, you could have one or more of the injuries listed above. What’s most important after an accident where you suffered any kind of injury, even if you don’t think you’re injured, is to get evaluated by a medical professional. Adrenaline and shock could be masking your pain and any sign of injury, which is why you should always seek treatment after an accident, regardless of whether or not you think you’re hurt.

Even the mildest injury could have serious health consequences and cause more damage if left untreated. You should get evaluated as soon as possible after an accident so that you can get quick treatment. This also provides a medical record that you can show later as proof that the accident directly caused you injuries and damages.

Seeking treatment can help your case. Our Arlington, TX personal injury lawyers are prepared to guide you through your case, including telling you to get medical treatment so that you have proof of your injuries and are taking steps to get better. Without proof of injuries, you might not have a case.

Negligence Laws in Texas

Proving your injuries is essential in your personal injury claim because you need to show you were injured in order to prove the elements of negligence were present. Your injuries are proof that the standard of care was breached, and you directly suffered as a result of the negligent act. This is what your lawyer will fight to prove after an accident, because Texas follows comparative negligence.

More specifically, Texas law calls their comparative negligence statute proportionate responsibility. This means that if you are found at part liable for what happened, your settlement will be reduced by the percentage you were responsible. If you are found to be over 50 percent at fault for what happened, then you won’t be able to recover compensation at all.

This is why it’s important to have one of our Arlington, TX personal injury attorneys on your side through a claim after an accident. They’ll investigate what happened and gather proof to show you weren’t the party responsible for your accident.
