If an accident left you with medical bills, missed work, insurance pressure, or unanswered questions, Ted Smith Law Group can help you understand the next step.
When someone else's carelessness causes the injury, you can act.
A serious injury hits physical, emotional, and financial health at once. A personal injury claim helps cover current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and loss of quality of life while you focus on recovery.
Photos, medical records, the police report, insurance letters: bring what you have. You pay nothing unless the firm recovers.
Texas law
Texas uses modified comparative negligence.
The court assigns each party a percentage of fault. More than 50% at fault and you cannot recover; below that, compensation is reduced by your percentage. How fault is argued matters.
What matters in these cases.
Proving it
What a negligence case requires.
That the defendant owed you a duty of care, failed to honor it, that failure caused the incident, and you were seriously injured as a result. Most personal injury cases rest on these four elements.
Who is liable
Liability can extend beyond the obvious.
Property owners, product manufacturers, company owners, and healthcare professionals can all share fault, and insurers that wrongfully deny or delay claims can be pursued too.
Fees
No fee until the firm recovers for you.
You will not see a bill until compensation is secured on your behalf. Consultations for personal injury are free.
Insurance
Do not let the insurer dictate the value of your case.
After an accident, insurance companies look for reasons to deny your claim or drive the number down. A lawyer levels the playing field, including pursuing insurers that wrongfully deny or delay.
Deadlines
Texas gives you two years.
The statute of limitations for most Texas personal injury lawsuits is two years from the accident date. There are exceptions, but waiting costs evidence either way. Talk to a lawyer early.
Bring what you have: the police report, insurance information, witness names, photos of the scene, medical discharge papers, and property-damage estimates. Missing pieces are fine. The firm investigates and collects the rest.
