What Is the Process for Filing a Personal Injury Claim?

Filing a personal injury claim can be complex and time-consuming, especially without an in-depth understanding of Texas law. That’s why our personal injury lawyers are committed to helping you navigate the claims process effectively in San Antonio. 

Here are some important steps to take after a wrongful injury: 

  1. Seeking medical attention: After a wrongful injury, seeking medical attention is a top priority. Even if you lack obvious injuries, seeking treatment from a qualified healthcare professional is a must to rule out serious harm and establish a formal record of your injuries.
  2. Reporting the accident: If no one else has done so, be sure to report the accident to local law enforcement. The police report can serve as valuable evidence to support your claim later on.
  3. Exchanging information: If possible, exchange contact and insurance information with other involved parties, including the at-fault party and any eyewitnesses on the scene.
  4. Gathering evidence: Document the accident scene by taking photos and videos of vehicular damage, skid marks, nearby landmarks, and your injuries. 
  5. Seek sound counsel: Consulting with a seasoned personal injury lawyer is essential to filing your claim on time, supporting your case with compelling evidence, determining liability, and pursuing maximum compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does Texas Have a No-Fault Insurance System?

    No. Texas is an at-fault state, meaning that the at-fault party is liable for damages in an accident. This fault-based system allows injured individuals to pursue claims against the liable party’s insurance, offering the opportunity for a more comprehensive recovery compared to no-fault systems.

    Understanding how this affects personal injury cases in San Antonio is critical to recovering a fair settlement after a wrongful injury. Under state law, the injured party (“plaintiff”) bears the burden of proof in personal injury cases. This means that you are responsible for showing that the at-fault party (“defendant”) directly caused the accident and your resulting injuries.

    Failure to meet the standard of proof can result in the loss of eligibility for damages, making it crucial to seek experienced representation as soon as possible. Our attorneys have extensive knowledge of personal injury law to help you identify liable parties, accurately calculate damages, and prove negligence in your claim.

  • How Does Texas Law Handle Comparative Negligence in Personal Injury Cases?

    Texas follows the modified comparative negligence rule. This system allows victims to recover compensation even if they are partially at fault for their injuries, as long as they are less than 51% at fault for the accident.

    However, the final settlement will be reduced by the plaintiff’s percentage of the fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault for a car accident totaling $100,000 in damages, you would only be eligible to collect $80,000 in compensation (20% less than the original total).

    Consulting with an experienced personal injury attorney is paramount to maintaining eligibility for compensation and preventing insurance companies from placing undue blame on you. As skilled negotiators, our lawyers can tirelessly protect your rights while advocating for the maximum compensation you’re entitled to.

  • What Is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases in Texas?

    In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. This means you have a limited amount of time to file a claim and seek compensation for your injuries. However, rare exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances of your case, making it crucial to consult with a skilled personal injury lawyer who can advise you on specific deadlines and help you navigate any complexities that arise in your claim.

  • Will My PI Case Go to Trial?

    It depends. While most personal injury cases are settled out of court, others may undergo litigation to reach a settlement. While it can be frustrating and stressful to prepare for a trial, especially while recovering from a serious injury, litigation can mean the difference between recovering full compensation and walking away with less than you deserve. When you partner with The Packard Law Firm, you can expect personalized representation that prioritizes your unique legal needs. We have decades of experience to advise your legal steps wisely and are always prepared to represent your best interests at trial if necessary.

    Absolutely! Our firm offers complimentary case evaluations for your convenience. We can discuss the details of your case and provide an honest assessment of your legal options at no cost to you.
