Frequently Asked Personal Injury Questions

After a personal injury accident, prioritize your health by seeking medical attention immediately. Document the accident details by taking photos, gathering witness information, and keeping medical records. Avoid discussing fault or liability at the scene, and do not provide recorded statements to insurance companies without legal advice. Contacting a personal injury lawyer early ensures you receive the guidance and protection you need to maximize your claim’s potential. Lonestar Injury Firm is here to help you with a free consultation to discuss your situation and outline the next steps to secure your rights.

In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. This means you typically have two years to file a claim; otherwise, you may lose the right to seek compensation. Certain cases, like those involving minors or government entities, may have different deadlines or requirements. To ensure your claim is filed on time and properly handled, contact Lonestar Injury Firm as soon as possible. We can evaluate your case details and ensure all deadlines are met for the best chance at a successful outcome.

A strong personal injury case generally includes clear evidence of another party’s negligence, a direct link between the negligence and your injuries, and documented damages, such as medical bills and lost income. Lonestar Injury Firm will assess factors like liability, evidence, and the extent of your injuries to determine the strength of your claim. Our team is skilled at identifying and gathering essential evidence to build a compelling case, and we offer free case evaluations to give you a realistic view of your claim’s potential.

At Lonestar Injury Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if you win your case. This structure eliminates upfront costs for you, and our fee is a percentage of the settlement or court award. Our contingency approach makes high-quality legal representation accessible to everyone, regardless of financial situation. During your free consultation, we will explain our fees and discuss how we can help maximize your compensation without adding financial stress.

While you technically can handle a personal injury claim independently, having legal representation significantly improves your chances of obtaining fair compensation. Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, and legal processes can be complex. An experienced personal injury attorney from Lonestar Injury Firm can negotiate on your behalf, gather evidence, and ensure your rights are protected. We take the burden off you, so you can focus on recovery while we fight to maximize your settlement.

Compensation in personal injury cases often covers medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses. In some cases, punitive damages may also apply. At Lonestar Injury Firm, we thoroughly evaluate your case to account for all damages you’ve incurred. Our goal is to recover the maximum compensation you deserve for both your immediate and long-term needs. We encourage you to contact us to discuss what specific compensation may be available for your situation.

The length of a personal injury case can vary significantly based on factors like the complexity of the case, the extent of injuries, and whether a settlement is reached or if the case goes to trial. Many cases settle within a few months, while others may take longer if negotiation or litigation is involved. Lonestar Injury Firm strives to resolve each case efficiently without sacrificing the quality of your outcome. We keep you informed at every stage, helping you understand the process and timeframe.

Many personal injury cases settle outside of court, but some do proceed to trial if a fair settlement isn’t reached. At Lonestar Injury Firm, our attorneys prepare each case as if it will go to court, strengthening your position during negotiations. If necessary, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial to fight for the compensation you deserve. Our priority is securing the best possible outcome for you, whether through settlement or court judgment.

When you come to your consultation with Lonestar Injury Firm, bring any documents related to your injury, including medical records, police reports, accident photos, insurance correspondence, and a list of any witnesses. These documents help us evaluate your case thoroughly and offer you an informed assessment.
