Question 1

How soon should I hire an attorney after an accident?

Accepted Answer

The sooner the better. After an accident, many things start happening very quickly. Since you are in unfamiliar territory, it is always smart to contact an attorney as soon as possible so that you know your rights and can protect them.

Question 2

Should I hire an attorney for my personal injury case?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you should hire an attorney. At the very least, contact an attorney for a free consultation. Representing yourself can lead to complications which will certainly hurt your chances of getting the compensation you deserve.

Question 3

How does my attorney get paid?

Accepted Answer

Generally, a personal injury attorney gets paid through a contingency fee. That means the attorney gets paid only when there is a final settlement and recovery in your case. If there is no recovery, then you owe your attorney no fees.

Question 4

What sort of damages can I collect for a personal injury?

Accepted Answer

Damages in a personal injury case include things like medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and mental anguish. Cases involving very serious injuries could also include compensation for physical impairment and disfigurement.

Question 5

Can a personal injury attorney help me get medical treatment?

Accepted Answer

Your attorney can help you get the medical treatment you need without any money out of your pocket. This is usually accomplished through a letter of protection (LOP) issued by your attorney to the doctor’s office. This way, the doctor can treat you for your injuries and wait to get paid after your case settles.

Question 6

How do I get a copy of my police report after a car accident?

Accepted Answer

A police report is usually completed about 7–10 days after a car accident. Once it is completed, a copy of the report may be obtained directly from the police department or by visiting the centralized reporting website known as Crash Records Information System (C.R.I.S.).

Question 7

What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury case in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Generally, the statute of limitations for a personal injury case in Texas is two years. That means you have two years from the date of the incident to either settle your case or get a lawsuit on file. Otherwise, your legal rights may be forever lost. However, there are many other factors that can affect your time limit, which is why you need to consult an attorney as soon as possible.
