Filing a Personal Injury Claim in Conroe

To have grounds for a personal injury case, you must prove four key elements. First, you must establish that another person or party owed you a duty of care. For example, all motorists have a responsibility to others on the road to act reasonably and avoid putting anyone at risk. Second, you must prove that the other person or party breached the duty of care. In most cases, this means proving that the other person or party was negligent or acted wrongfully. Third, you will need to demonstrate that the other person or party’s breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of your injuries. This means proving that, had they not acted negligently or wrongfully, you would not have been injured. Lastly, you must demonstrate that you sustained measurable damages. These can be either economic or non-economic and may include things such as medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income, and more.

While you may understandably wish to know the value of your claim from the start, unfortunately, it is not possible to determine exactly how much you may be able to recover in your personal injury case without going over the details of your situation. A variety of factors play a role in the potential value of your case, from the nature of the accident to the extent of your injuries to whether the insurance company argues that you were partly to blame. We encourage you to contact our team to discuss your case in detail during a free, no-obligation consultation.

You are not required by law to hire a lawyer to file a personal injury claim. However, there are many advantages to working with an attorney. For one thing, the insurance company is highly likely to dispute or deny your claim. If you attempt to negotiate directly with the insurance adjuster, you may accidentally do or say something that can be used against you, such as admitting fault or downplaying your injuries. An attorney will not only know how to deal with the insurance company, but they will also be able to conduct a proper investigation, gather applicable evidence, and examine all possible avenues of compensation in your case. Your attorney can also represent you at trial if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement.

Personal injury attorneys, including those at Scott Law Firm, work on a contingency fee basis. This means that their fees are contingent on them recovering compensation for you. In other words, you do not pay any out-of-pocket expenses; rather, your attorneys’ fees are paid via a percentage of your total settlement or verdict. This percentage will be discussed with you before hiring your attorney.
