Corpus Christi is one of the most famous cities anywhere in Texas. As a
beautiful coastal city, it extends into three counties and serves as the
county seat of a fourth, Nueces. With a population over 440,000, the city
is the eighth-most populous in the Longhorn State and is known as the
“Sparkling City by the Sea.” Its coastal position gives it
a more moderate climate than some other Texas cities, which helps inspire
tourists to visit from all over the world.
Corpus Christi might seem like an idyllic place to make a living or raise
a family – it has all the amenities of a major city, plus a strong
economy, amenable climate and a distinct culture. Still, residents need
to be careful of personal injury. Personal injury cases strike thousands
of people all throughout Texas each year. Unfortunately, it’s impossible
to know exactly how many people suffer personal injury because so many
of these cases go unreported.
Many people don’t realize they have a personal injury situation,
while others suspect they do have a case but decide not to pursue it.
The crux of personal injury is simple, whether in Corpus Christi or elsewhere:
A situation where you have suffered harm as the result of someone else’s
careless actions or negligence. “Harm” usually takes the form
of direct physical injury that results in lost wages, medical bills and
other financial damage.
What Makes a Good Corpus Christi Personal Injury Attorney?
If the outline above sounds like your situation, you would benefit from
talking to a Corpus Christi personal injury attorney. During your initial
consultation, you’ll lay out the facts of your case and get expert
advice. Taking this step is vital even if you don’t feel that you
want to pursue a court case! You’ll be able to go forward confidently
no matter your choice, giving you some valuable peace of mind as you cope
with the situation.
As you examine your options for a personal injury attorney, keep these
things in mind:
• The attorney you choose should have a proven record winning personal
injury cases.
• A good attorney is both willing and able to answer all of your
legal questions in full.
• The best Corpus Christi personal injury attorneys are willing to
fight for you in court.
This last point comes as a surprise to many people who have never worked
with an attorney before. They might assume that the majority, or even
all, cases go to court. In personal injury, this is not the case. The
bigger the defendant, the more likely it is that they will try to stop
the case from going forward. When the defendant is a business, this often
comes in the form of offering Corpus Christi residents a relatively small
settlement.
Unfortunately, this settlement is usually only a fraction of what you
might stand to win in court. Many people are reticent about pursuing a
court case, but in a personal injury situation, your future may be at
stake: It can take weeks or months to know the full extent of health problems
associated with a personal injury. Plus, the costs over time can be significant.
If you fail to pursue your rights, you could lose out on damages you are
entitled to.
The Corpus Christi personal injury attorney you select should have a strong
legal education and be active in the profession. The more your attorney
knows about personal injury, the more likely you are to succeed. If you
feel comfortable with an attorney and that person provides full answers
to your questions, then you are on the right track. If you feel an attorney
is not providing the clarity and personal attention you deserve, consider
the situation before proceeding.
Don’t Wait: Your Case May Be Getting More Complex With Every Passing Day
Many personal injury situations, such as automotive accidents, demand
an official response. There may be an ongoing investigation in which important
evidence you need is mishandled or destroyed. When an injury takes place
at a business or in a private residence, this process can be accelerated.
The sooner someone is on the scene to represent your interests, the more
likely it is that important details and facts of the case will not be lost.
When you’ve never been in a legal situation before, taking the first
step can be hard. With a tough, knowledgeable attorney from The Doan Law
Firm by your side, you’ll be better equipped to make the right choice
for your situation. Never make a decision about which lawyer to retain
based on what you read online: Instead, call or email us today to set
up a personal consultation with an attorney who can help you. No matter
what the situation is, you deserve to have your rights protected -- and
if need be, to have your day in court.
