Navigating Major Injuries

Serious injuries can bring complications that affect both your personal and professional life. These life-altering injuries require attorneys with experience in this area. The team at MIJ has the understanding to help you hold those responsible accountable for your suffering. It’s not just you who is affected; your loved ones also bear the burden.

Serious injuries encompass a range of issues, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI), broken bones and fractures, burns, loss of limbs, and neck, back and spinal injuries.

What Kinds Of Damages Can You Claim In Personal Injury Cases?

The compensation, or “damages,” that you can claim in a personal injury claim generally includes both economic and noneconomic damages.

Economic damages include concrete, measurable financial losses. These include things like medical expenses related to the injury, including ambulance rides, hospital bills, medications and physical therapy. It can also include anticipated future medical expenses for long-term care or assistive devices. Other economic damages include lost wages, lost future earning capacity and property damage.

Noneconomic damages include intangible losses that are much harder to quantify, such as your pain and suffering (both physical and emotional), harm to your relationship with your spouse (loss of consortium), emotional distress related to the accident, and your reduced quality of life due to an inability to engage in hobbies, socialize or enjoy other things.

In rare cases, when the at-fault party acted intentionally, fraudulently or committed an act of gross negligence that put others at a high probability of serious injury, you may be eligible for punitive damages. These are designed to punish the other party for their actions and are not tied to either your tangible or intangible losses.

What Factors Affect The Value Of Personal Injury Claims?

Several factors influence the value of a personal injury claim. These include:

● The severity of your injuries, and whether you are left with permanent scars or disabilities as a result
● The length of your recovery time, since that directly affects how long you may require treatment or be away from work
● Whether you missed work and lost income or professional opportunities during your recovery time, and whether your injuries will affect your ability to work in the future
● The clarity surrounding liability, such as whether there is strong evidence against the at-fault party or the at-fault party admits to causing the accident
● Any shared liability on your part, since your compensation may be reduced by whatever percentage of blame for the accident is allocated your way

Finally, it’s important to remember that the limits of the at-fault party’s insurance coverage can often restrict a claim for damages unless other sources of funds are identified.

Catastrophic Events

Events like wrongful deaths, fires and explosions demand a unique level of attention and skill. The lawyers at MIJ excel in providing investigations that uncover answers beyond standard reports. Finding the right cause of these injuries is critical. Our unwavering attention to detail from the beginning will help us bring you the compensation you deserve for your loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury

Navigating the aftermath of a personal injury can be overwhelming. You may have a lot of questions. Here are answers to some of the questions we answer most often about personal injuries and the process for seeking compensation.

What is a personal injury case?

A personal injury case arises when an individual suffers harm, whether physical or emotional, due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions. These cases encompass a wide range of incidents, from motor vehicle collisions and slip-and-fall accidents to medical malpractice and product liability claims. In essence, it’s a legal dispute seeking compensation for the victim’s losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and more.

What do I do after, and what do I avoid after a serious personal injury accident?

After a serious personal injury accident, your immediate priority should be your health and safety. Seek medical attention promptly, even if your injuries seem minor. Gathering evidence is essential, so if possible, document the accident scene, take photographs and gather contact information from witnesses.

Avoid discussing the incident on social media or with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney. It’s also crucial to refrain from accepting a settlement offer before understanding the full extent of your injuries and damages.

How long after my accident do I have to pursue compensation for a personal injury?

The timeframe for pursuing compensation, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state and the type of injury. In Texas, for most personal injury cases, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. However, it’s essential to consult with an attorney promptly because certain factors may extend or shorten this deadline.

How do I prepare for a personal injury claim?

Preparing for a personal injury claim involves several crucial steps. First, consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to assess the viability of your case. Gather all relevant documentation, including medical records, accident reports and evidence of expenses related to the injury. Keep detailed records of your medical treatment, missed workdays and other losses. Your attorney will guide you through the process, helping you build a strong case.

How much compensation am I entitled to?

The amount of compensation you may be entitled to depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income and the extent of your pain and suffering. Personal injury compensation typically covers economic damages (such as medical bills and lost wages) and noneconomic damages (such as pain and suffering). An experienced attorney can help you assess the value of your case and work to secure the maximum compensation available.
