Personal Injury Compensation for Victims

As a personal injury victim, you already begin to feel and see the injury’s impact on your life. From the influx of medical bills in your mailbox to the time missed from work to heal and attend therapy sessions and medical appointments.

A personal injury accident is much more than the injury itself. It is the widespread effect on all aspects of your life the injury and accident will cause. Compensating a victim for the entirety of their losses is not an easy task. For you to get the compensation you deserve, you must first understand the total losses you have and will incur in your case.

While most personal injury victims can add up their medical bills, expenses, and other costs relating to their injury, they cannot easily predict their future costs or estimate their more intangible losses.

At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, we do not leave damages unclaimed or losses undiscovered. We work with you to understand the seriousness of your injuries and the consequences of those injuries on your daily life and future. We fight the insurance companies for the maximum compensation possible for you.

Personal injury compensation can include:

  • Medical costs include hospitalization, surgery, emergency care, and rehabilitation.
  • Future expenses for any medical needs due to your injury
  • Loss of wages due to the accident and your injury recovery time
  • Future income losses and impacts to likely income because of your injuries
  • Pain and suffering due to your injuries, including physical, emotional, and mental anguish
  • For the family of an individual who dies due to a personal injury or wrongful death, compensation may be available

Your Risk of a Personal Injury Accident in McKinney

A personal injury accident happens when most victims least expect it. One moment you are going about your day, and the next, you find yourself on the way to an emergency room dealing with painful injuries.

The risk of a personal injury accident can be all around you. The drive to work, a business appointment, running errands at a store, or walking in your neighborhood. These are all seemingly routine activities that do not usually pose a threat, but the actions of another party can lead to harm to you in all of these scenarios.

The most common personal injuries in McKinney come from traffic accidents. Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, or collisions involving trucks commonly injure and kill innocent victims. For example, the Texas Department of Transportation reports that in one year, Texas roads saw upwards of 3,600 traffic-related deaths and nearly 16,000 injuries.

What Qualifies as a Personal Injury?

Any time an individual or other party acts negligently, they can be liable for the damages their negligence causes. Personal injury laws allow victims of injuries due to another’s actions to seek compensation for their losses from the responsible parties.

Any circumstance that causes an injury can give rise to a personal injury case. What can turn a situation into a possible personal injury matter is when the victim has reason to believe their injuries occurred because of another party's action or failure to act when they had a duty to do so.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle at Trust Guss Injury Lawyers

Each individual's personal injury case is unique. At Trust Guss Injury Lawyers, we have a wide range of experience representing clients with personal injuries in various scenarios. We can help you file an insurance claim and work to negotiate a settlement on your behalf, or we will fight and prepare your case for a lawsuit in court if necessary.

Personal injury cases we handle include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents - Car crashes are common in McKinney and nearby areas. Whether on your commute to Dallas or elsewhere, a traffic collision with another passenger vehicle can derail your plans, and cause painful and uncomfortable injuries and significant losses. When the negligence of another driver or party causes the accident, you as the victim have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and other damages that arise.
  • Truck accidents - Semi, tractor-trailers, and other large commercial trucks and vehicles can pose a danger of injury and death to other travelers on the road. If you are in a truck accident, you may be able to seek compensation for your losses from the trucking company or their insurer if a driver's negligence is to blame.
  • Motorcycle accidents - Some inherent dangers accompany a motorcyclist. However, the biggest risk and danger is the negligence of other motorists with no regard for motorcyclist safety.
  • Slip and fall accidents - retail stores, offices, and other locations where you are a guest must protect you from hidden dangers and risks to your safety and wellbeing. If you suffer a slip, trip, or fall on another party's private or public premises, you may be eligible for compensation for your losses.
  • Pedestrian accidents - Traffic accidents do not just happen between vehicles. Pedestrians are often the victims of negligent drivers and can suffer severe, if not fatal, injuries. Suppose you are a pedestrian that gets hit by a vehicle. In that case, you are likely eligible for compensation for your injuries and other damages from their insurance or the party responsible directly.
  • Bicycle accidents - Riding a bicycle is a popular mode of transportation or exercise for many in McKinney. Bicyclists, however, are often the victim of collisions with distracted motorists and other dangerous drivers. If you suffer harm as a bicyclist due to a driver’s negligence, you may be able to seek compensation from the driver or their insurance company.
  • Wrongful death - Sadly, not all victims of a personal injury will survive their injuries. If you are the family of a victim who lost their life in a personal injury accident, you may have grounds for compensation against the parties liable for the accident and your loved ones' death.

Common Injuries in a Personal Injury Matter

The injuries in a personal injury accident can be minor, moderate, or life-altering. The severity of your injuries following a personal injury incident may not be apparent. It can also take time to reveal the extent of damage your body sustained in an accident. Additionally, complications may arise later on down the line, which can prolong your recovery or create other risks to your health.

Common examples of personal injuries can include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Other head and neck injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Damage to the spinal cord and column
  • Broken bones
  • Burns
  • Loss of limb or amputation
  • Injuries to internal organs
  • Torn or sprained ligaments, tendons, or muscles
  • Lacerations
  • Scarring or permanent deformities
  • Loss of vision or hearing

What Don’t Insurance Companies Want You to Know in a Personal Injury Case?

Most personal injury cases involve one or multiple insurance companies. The insurance companies want to protect their bottom line at all costs and refrain from paying out whatever damages they can. The first thing an insurer will do is try to find grounds for a claim denial. If they cannot deny a claim, they will try to reduce your damages as much as possible.

Insurance companies do not want victims to know the true value of their personal injury cases. Instead, they will overlook categories of damages and losses in hopes they can convince a victim to take a quick or low settlement offer as soon as possible. They do not want you to hire a lawyer because they know an attorney will fight for the maximum compensation possible for your case and inform you of your rights and the extent of damages available to you under the law.
