Personal injury claims in Midland often become incredibly complex quickly. You need an advocate to step in on your behalf early in the case so your right to compensation is protected. A personal injury attorney will have a multifaceted role that will include the following:
Personal injury claims take time, and there are specific deadlines that must be adhered to. Your attorney will make sure your claim gets filed on time and properly and that you are kept apprised of any changes.
At The Doan Law Firm, our team has more than two decades of handling complex injury claims in Texas and throughout the U.S. In Midland, we proudly assist clients with the following types of cases:
If you do not see your particular type of case on this list, please call us for a free consultation today. If another party caused your injuries, we may be able to help.
The first step of a personal injury claim, on your part, should be reaching out to an attorney for help. Your lawyer can offer a free consultation and help determine the best steps moving forward. In the event an attorney does take your case, the following will likely occur:
There is no specific time frame for how long a personal injury claim in Midland will take to resolve. Some cases may settle relatively quickly, within a few months after the incident occurs. However, if the case does have to go to trial, it could take more than a year to reach a resolution.
The Doan Law Firm believes in providing you with exceptional legal insight from the start. To do so, we learn as much as we can about your incident, losses, and the impact on your life. You can expect our Midland personal injury attorney to work aggressively in the following areas to support your best possible outcome.
During a free consultation, we will initially evaluate your case to determine whether we believe you have the right to take action and, if so, what that process may include. We look at the merits of your case to determine what your injuries are and what losses may be owed to you more fully after you hire our team.
You will learn about your legal options. That includes any civil action available to you and what we can do to support you. We discuss costs, timelines, and, if possible, expected compensation.
We use your information and any initial documentation available to investigate your case. Our goal is to gather evidence from every resource possible. To do this, expect us to:
All medical and law enforcement documentation we obtain, we preserve. This minimizes the risk of that data becoming unavailable to you when it comes time to prove your case.
After gathering evidence regarding fault and responsibility, we work to better understand your injuries and losses. This includes estimating all economic and non-economic damages, considering physical, emotional, and financial loss, and taking into account future impact.
Once we have an evidence-based claim, expect our legal team to submit it to the insurance company and negotiate a fair level of compensation for you. We do not settle for a simple settlement when it is unfair to you. We will go to trial if necessary.
Our Midland personal injury attorney works quickly and efficiently to build your case and negotiate compensation. However, you must act within the state’s statute of limitations for the court to hear your case. In Texas, victims are given two years from the date of the injury to pursue legal action against those at fault, in most personal injury matters. This is a strict deadline with very few exceptions.
If you miss this deadline, the court will not hear your case. You have no way of forcing the insurance company or any other party to pay for those losses. We strongly recommend speaking with you as soon as possible so we can pursue legal action quickly and preserve as much time as possible to go to court if necessary.
There may be various types of compensation available for a successful personal injury claim in Midland. At The Doan Law Firm, we strive to recover both economic and non-economic damages on behalf of every client that we help.
Economic damages for a personal injury case in Midland will include calculable expenses that injury victims will likely endure. Our team will use receipts, bills, and invoices that come in after your injury occurs to help adequately calculate the following losses:
Non-economic damages for Midlands personal injury claims will include more immeasurable losses that injury victims will likely endure. For example, this can include the physical and emotional pain and suffering a personal injury victim experiences due to the incident and the recovery process. This can also include loss of quality of life damages if a person is unable to carry out day-to-day activities or work-related duties that they could before the injury occurred.
The amount you receive in a personal injury claim is dependent on numerous factors. You can expect our Midland personal injury attorney to be aggressive in pursuing every possible method to maximize your compensation. However, it is impossible to tell you what your case is worth until we consider all of the following factors applicable to your case:
In each of these cases, our Midland personal injury attorney will carefully review the incident and document the impact on your situation. We learn as much as we can about your injuries, long-term implications, and the impact on your quality of life so we can accurately value these losses.
Our team handles personal injury claims in Midland on a contingency fee basis. This means that we handle all upfront and out-of-pocket costs related to the case, and clients will not be required to pay any legal fees until after we successfully recover the compensation they are entitled to. In the event our team does not win the case, our clients will pay absolutely nothing. The final legal fee will be a previously agreed-upon percentage of the settlement or jury verdict.
A personal injury case is dependent on our ability to prove negligence. That means we must show that the other party owed you a duty of care and failed in that duty in some manner. We must then document how the incident resulted in an accident that caused you physical injuries and financial loss.
This depends on where the accident occurs. If your employer was at fault for your accident, or in situations where you suffer injuries at work during the normal course of employment, a workers’ compensation claim is applicable. In cases where you have injuries caused by another person, business, or property owner outside of the employer, a personal injury claim may be applicable.
You may be eligible for punitive damages in very limited situations. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 41.001, victims of personal injuries can seek punitive damages if the at-fault party engaged in fraud, gross negligence, or malice. In these situations, state law caps those damages at $200,000 or twice the amount of your economic damages plus non-economic damages, up to $750,000.
Most personal injury cases never go to trial. They are settled out of court. Our Midland personal injury attorney will take a case to court if the insurance company is not providing fair compensation.
If you or a loved one sustains an injury caused by the negligent actions of another individual or entity, reach out to the team of Midland accident attorneys and injury lawyers at The Doan Law Firm for assistance today. We have the resources needed to conduct a complete investigation into your claim and handle all court processes on your behalf.
