Personal Injury Law Firm In San Antonio

A serious car injury, auto, or other type of accident can leave you injured, struggling, and wondering how you’ll get by. Personal injuries can permanently upend our lives, and they can take away important resources like income that we need to function from day to day. When a personal injury leaves you with medical bills, pain, and emotional suffering, you have the right to file a civil action to recover compensation. It’s unfortunate, but it happens every day. When it does happen, you may already know that you’ll need compensation, but how do you get it? When insurance doesn’t apply or won’t offer a fair settlement, filing a personal injury claim may be your best option for fair compensation. Unfortunately, without experienced legal representation and assistance, it’s possible to lose some or all of the compensation you’re owed.

Don’t let this happen to you. KRW Lawyers can fight for you to make sure you get the full compensation you deserve after a serious injury.

Personal Injury Claims

So, what exactly is a personal injury? These are injuries that you likely wouldn’t have suffered if another person had been careful to avoid harming you. Unsure of where your claim falls when it comes to personal injury? The following list describes some of the more common types of personal injury claims we see:

Automotive Accidents – When a collision involving a car accident, motorcycle, or truck injures you, you may need help communicating with your insurance company to get the settlement you need. If insurance is not willing to help you, it might be time to escalate your claim further:

• Car Accidents
• Truck Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents

Negligence– Whether you were involved in an accident that made you end up in the hospital or you are a victim of doctor negligence, you are entitled to compensations for your injuries or injuries a loved one endured.

Premise Liability – Premises liability may range from things from “injuries caused by a variety of hazardous conditions, including open excavations, uneven pavement, standing water, crumbling curbs, wet floors, uncleared snow, icy walks, falling objects, inadequate security, insufficient lighting, concealed holes, improperly secured mats, or defects in chairs or benches”. Premises liability law is the body of law which makes the person who is in possession of land or premises responsible for certain injuries suffered by persons who are present on the premises.

• Slip and Fall
• Dog Attacks

Other Personal Injury Claim Types – While auto accidents are perhaps the greatest cause of injury in Texas, they are by no means the only one. Other causes of injury, which may warrant a personal injury claim, include:

• Pedestrian accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Defective products

Questions You Might Have

Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney?

After an injury or accident, filing a personal injury claim may seem unnecessary. However, getting the compensation you deserve might be more difficult than you assume. Insurance companies may deny your claim, and medical bills can pile up. Without appropriate legal representation, you may be stuck with costs that you cannot afford. This is where a personal injury attorney can help.

What Damages Can I Receive?

The purpose of damages in personal injury cases is to compensate the injured party. In some cases, it can be challenging to assign a dollar amount. Money can’t “fix” most injuries. But, the goal is to try and minimize any future ramifications of the event.

What Type of Injuries Can I Receive Compensation?

Depending on the event and type of injury, the different types of damages include:

• Medical Bills
• Lost Wages
• Emotional Distress
• Punitive Damages
• Pain & Suffering

How Much Compensation Will I Receive?

The easiest damages to calculate the value of will be your economic damages. This category includes any financial losses you’ve suffered because of your accident—both current and future. Include your medical expenses, lost wages, any property damage, and any other economic costs tied to your injuries. These damages are usually determined by adding the costs together and estimating future expenses.

Noneconomic damages, on the other hand, are paid for intangible losses. These losses included mental anguish, as well as physical pain and suffering. If the injury has resulted in severe impairment, family members may even recover damages for loss of companionship.
