Types of Cases We Help Clients With

After experiencing an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you might be wondering what your next steps are. One of your options is holding them accountable for what they’ve done to you through taking legal action. The thought of filing a personal injury claim might be intimidating to you, especially going up against a larger company if they were who caused your accident, but that’s where we can help you.

At Buckingham & Vega Law Firm, we have experience representing clients in a variety of claims. Our personal injury lawyers can handle claims such as:

Car Accidents. When cars collide, it’s usually from the negligence of one of the drivers or a company who created a part for the cars. Distracted driving, drunk driving, driving errors, and defective parts can all contribute to the cause of an accident. If you weren’t the party at fault, you should be able to recover compensation for the damages that the other party caused you.
Truck Accidents. An accident involving a tractor trailer can have devastating affects on everyone involved. You could be suffering injuries that last you for the rest of your life and impact your future ability to earn money. Whether it was a negligent trucker, their trucking company, or a malfunctioning truck part that caused your collision, you deserve to financially recover for the harm you’ve suffered.
Motorcycle Accidents. When motorcyclists are struck while riding, they can suffer from catastrophic injuries. You shouldn’t have to concede your safety just because you’re riding your motorcycle. As long as you were being safe and following the laws, you can recover compensation for your injuries and other damages.
Premises Liability. Property owners are responsible to keep a premises safe when legal visitors are present on their property. If someone gets hurt on an unsafe premises that should’ve been properly maintained, then the owner of the property could be held liable for what happened to them.

These are all potential circumstances that have led to you deciding to file a personal injury claim, but they’re not the only situations that warrant legal action. There are plenty of other accidents caused by negligence that you could file a claim for. Just because the situation isn’t on this list doesn’t mean our lawyers can’t help you.

Our Laredo, TX personal injury attorneys are prepared to look into your case and determine what you’re owed so that you can have peace of mind while dealing with the harm they caused you.

Steps of a Personal Injury Claim

One of the intimidating aspects of a personal injury claim could be not knowing the process that you’re in for when you hire a personal injury lawyer. At Buckingham & Vega Law Firm, we understand that transparency throughout the process is the best way to handle your claim so that you can understand what’s happening every step of the way.

First, we’ll go through pre-trial. This is when you make an appointment with our firm and bring all the evidence that you have of your accident. This will be documentation from your accident, like a police report, medical records and bills, proof of lost wages, and any other costs that you suffered.

The next step in the process will be discovery. In this part of your claim, both sides will gather evidence from each other so that they can prove their side. They’ll ask for any relevant evidence you have, as well as gathering information from witnesses, and your lawyer will do the same.

Once all of this evidence is collected, which could take months or upwards of a year, attorneys on both sides will attempt to mediate. Your lawyer will negotiate a fair settlement for you with the other party, who will also be fighting for their best interests. Most times, personal injury claims come to a settlement. If not, then your claim will go to trial.

Trials are costly and time-consuming, which is why most attorneys will try their hardest to settle out of court, but they are always prepared to take it to trial if needed. From there, your case will either be made in front of a judge or jury, and the outcome will be decided.

This could sound like a long and confusing process. That’s why it’s best to have our Laredo, TX personal injury lawyers on your side. We’re experienced in fighting for our clients and getting them justice for their damages.
