Personal Injury
Losing a loved one or suffering a debilitating injury is heartbreaking. Often the sadness can turn to anger when it’s caused by someone else’s negligence or willful intent. Choosing to pursue compensation through the legal channels can feel wrong or feel like you’re reducing the loss to a monetary amount. However, it is the only way in Texas to penalize those at fault and bring some sense of justice to the victims.
If you’re not sure whether to file a lawsuit, I’ll be glad to hear your story and help you make the right decision.
If you’re unsure if you need an attorney to represent your interests, it’s helpful to bear in mind that insurance companies and the other party have attorneys to ensure they pay you as little as possible. Injured parties are almost always entitled to more than they’re first offered.
The best way to get the compensation you deserve following an accident, injury or wrongful death in Texas is to consult an experienced personal injury attorney. This is largely because most people have a difficult time recovering their losses without the assistance of an attorney. You will likely be offered a nominal amount of money from an insurance company or individual to “settle” the matter. It is rarely advisable to negotiate such matters without an attorney, as doing so may compromise your legal rights.
And not all attorneys can deliver the same results. I have the compassion, passion and experience to ensure you receive what you are justly entitled to.

WHAT TO DO WHEN APPROACHED BY THE OTHER PARTY
You should seek legal counsel prior to discussing your situation with the insurance carrier, or wrongful party, or their attorney, and even the police, as they will seek to have you participate in a recorded statement that, without legal counsel, could severely damage your chances of recovery.
When asked to speak with them, simply tell them “Thank you for contacting me. I have been advised not to say anything at this point and will have my attorney reach out to you. What is the best way for them to contact you?” They will press you to make a statement, but you legally don’t have to. Just repeat what you said and end the conversation.
Your attorney will take over the negotiations and communications with your health care providers, insurance companies and police departments. Many health care providers will accept payment arrangements from an attorney that they may not accept from a patient. Your focus can be on improving your health, which should always be your primary goal.
Most of these types of cases are settled out of court. Although sometimes it is necessary to litigate in court.
