How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help You
Your chances of success in a personal injury claim are substantially greater if you have professional legal representation. Insurance firms make money by not paying claims or by paying considerably less than they should.
To pursue your claim, we will:
- Investigate to determine responsibility for your injury and collect evidence to support your claim.
- Document your injuries by gathering your medical records, your doctor’s statements and, if necessary, testimony of medical experts.
- Calculate your losses, including “economic damages,” which can be documented with bills and receipts, and “noneconomic damages,” which account for your pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, etc. If you have been permanently disabled, we will consult experts to project your future costs and losses.
- Demand full compensation for you. We will present evidence of liability along with documentation of your injuries and your costs and losses in a demand letter to insurers obligated to the party or parties that injured you. Assuming an insurer does not pay our initial demand (which is usually the case), we will negotiate aggressively for a settlement acceptable to you.
- File a lawsuit on your behalf. If a settlement proves impossible for whatever reason, we will be prepared to file a lawsuit and present a strong case in court. Most personal injury claims can be settled outside of court, and negotiations are possible up until a jury returns with a verdict.
- Obtain a verdict for you. At trial, a judge or jury hears evidence and arguments from both sides before rendering a verdict. The losing side may appeal the verdict, but barring that, the trial court’s decision is final.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in Arlington, TX
Under the statute of limitations in Texas, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you fail to file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires, the court will likely dismiss your claim.
This may seem like plenty of time, but our attorneys will need you to fully recover or otherwise complete medical treatment to know your full costs and losses.
