How Can a Lubbock Personal Injury Lawyer Help?

Personal injury claims can be complex and confusing, especially when there are multiple at-fault parties involved. Victims should be allowed to focus on their healing process and spending time with their families rather than haggling with claims adjusters or compiling evidence for a lawsuit. Here are just a few of the things our dedicated accident attorneys can do:

Gather critical evidence, including police reports, witness statements, video camera footage, photographs, testimony from accident reconstruction experts, and more to establish a strong, credible claim
Determine liability
Calculate the monetary value of your damages
Negotiate with insurance companies and other third parties on your behalf
Take your case to court if necessary
Ensure your claim is filed within the time frame stipulated by the statute of limitations
And more

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Texas?

The Texas statute of limitations states that victims have two years from the date of their accident to file a claim. While this might seem like a long time at first, attending medical appointments and physical therapy while having one’s home retrofitted can make the time fly by. Once the time is up, you may forfeit the opportunity to claim the compensation you rightfully deserve. That is why working with a personal injury attorney in Lubbock is so critical. Our Texas accident lawyers can handle all paperwork and communications with insurers, so you have the freedom to focus on rebuilding your life and healing from your injuries.

What Types of Compensation Can I Receive?

If you were injured due to another’s negligence or recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation in the form of damages, both economic and non-economic. Damages can include the following:

Current and future medical expenses, including ER visits, hospitalizations, surgeries, doctor’s appointments, medications, assistive devices, physical therapy, rehabilitation, medical transport, and more
Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
Property damage, including the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle as well as renting a car in the interim
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Scarring and disfigurement
Loss of enjoyment of life
Loss of consortium
Wrongful death, including burial and funeral expenses
Punitive damages for intentional harm done

In Lubbock, College-Related Accidents Are Common

Located in Lubbock, TX, Texas Tech University has a nearly 2,000-acre campus, necessitating the use of bicycles and scooters as transportation devices between classes. Unfortunately, if negligent drivers of larger passenger vehicles are on the road, they may cause serious injuries for students who are walking, cycling, or riding, ending their school year early or, in some cases, causing a fatality that devastates their friends and family members. Speeding, distracted, or intoxicated drivers have a slower reaction time to bikes or scooters that pop out in front of them and can cause major accidents due to their recklessness.

If you or a loved one was injured on the Texas Tech University campus, in downtown Lubbock, or in a protected area like a parking lot, you deserve a trusted personal injury lawyer by your side who will fight for your best interests to be upheld and for you to receive the highest settlement possible to offset your losses. Call our attorneys at Trust Guss today to get started with a no-cost case evaluation. We take cases on a contingency fee basis, so you never have to spend a dime unless we are successful with your claim.

What to Do After an Injury or Accident

Contact the police

Police reports are an essential element of your claim or lawsuit, so don’t hesitate to get the authorities involved right away.

Seek medical attention

Even if you feel fine after an accident, you could be suffering from a concussion, internal organ damage, or whiplash. Get evaluated by a medical professional as soon as you can. This will also help to bolster your claim.

Take photos and videos of the accident

Accidents tend to get cleared rapidly, so try to gather as much photo and video evidence as you can from the scene. Take photos of signs, road defects, skid marks, your car, your injuries, and anything else that seems relevant.

Trade information with potential witnesses

If anyone is around who saw the accident, get their phone number and email. Their testimony could be critical down the line.

Trade information with the other parties

Get the other party’s phone number, address, email, name, and insurance card information.

Stay silent

Don’t discuss your accident with anyone at the scene or insurance companies without first consulting with a personal injury lawyer. Anything you say could be twisted to invalidate your claim.

Consult with a personal injury attorney

An experienced lawyer has been around the block before and knows all the tricks in the book used by claims adjusters to limit or block your payout. Your lawyer will stand up for your rights while navigating the complexities of the legal system.

Keep records

Keep careful records of all conversations you have with claims adjusters, and keep copies of all medical bills, repair estimates, and receipts.
