Bastrop Personal Injury Claim FAQs
1. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
In most Texas personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, certain types of cases, especially those involving government agencies or medical malpractice, may have shorter or different deadlines.
2. What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Texas follows a “modified comparative fault” rule, meaning you can still recover damages if you were less than 51% responsible for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
3. What should I do right after an accident?
Get medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Then, gather as much evidence as possible, such as photos, witness names, and insurance information. Lastly, contact an attorney from our firm before speaking with any insurance adjusters, if possible.
4. Can I afford a personal injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t owe any attorney fees unless we win your case. This system allows you to get legal representation without worrying about upfront costs.
5. How long does a personal injury case take?
It depends on the complexity of your case and whether it settles or goes to trial. Some cases resolve in less than a year; others may take longer. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way, no matter how long your case takes to resolve.
