DC Law have been so helpful to me and my daughter. I haven’t had to worry about anything. The paralegal that’s working on my case is always reassuring me every time I talk to her that they’re going to take care of things, that I don’t need to worry about anything. They always keeping me informed about anything new thats going on or might be coming up. I could tell they were genuinely concerned for my daughter and all the suffering that she’s gone through in these last 5 months.
“My husband and I were very pleased with the care given to my case. I won’t lie, I was nervous about having to consult a lawyer, but knew it was necessary when I was not getting treated by the company responsible for my accident as I felt I deserved to be treated. We couldn’t have been more pleased. The entire staff at DC Law made us feel comfortable in our pursuit of fairness. They were all very knowledgeable, thorough, and pleasant to work with. I would definitely use them again, and recommend them to others.”
“Dan Christensen’s team did an AWESOME job coaching me through my case. This was my 1st & hopefully my last injury accident so SUPER happy I had them there to help. Definitely feel a lot better than the pain and discomfort I felt at the time of the accident. They continuously assured me that every bit of the doctors visit would be taking care of. They have a Great team and I actually received thousands of dollars more than I expected for the diligent work they did to restore my life to as close to the lifestyle I had before the accident.”
The unfortunate fact is that doing little more than going about our daily routines exposes us to the poor decisions of others. A typical day of going to work, shopping for groceries, or cooking dinner means that we are depending on other drivers, shopkeepers, and the manufacturers of consumer products to provide the protection that we deserve. Failure to offer this protection often results in personal injuries.
Typical examples of events that may lead to personal injury claims and lawsuits in
Austin include:
A dedicated injury attorney in Austin is ready to listen to the stories of victims and explore how another party’s negligence caused a preventable accident.
A core concept under the law states that a negligent party must provide full compensation to victims after an accident. Still, the victims of accidents must demonstrate the extent of their losses and connect them to the event.
Most personal injury cases will revolve around physical injuries and the medical care needed to treat them. This includes past accumulated expenses and the estimated cost of future treatment. However, many personal injury plaintiffs also seek out compensation for lost wages, emotional trauma, and reduced quality of daily life.
Even with these concepts in mind, it is vital to remember that there is a limited time under the law to pursue a lawsuit or insurance settlement. The statute of limitations, listed under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, says that most people have only two years from the date of an injury to demand compensation from a negligent party. However, be aware that certain types of cases may have shorter or longer statutes of limitation. Consulting with a knowledgeable Austin lawyer now helps meet these essential personal injury deadlines.
When individuals are dealing with physical injuries and emotional traumas, it is understandable that they may not even know where to begin. However, injured people always bear the legal burden of proving another’s fault for an accident.
An Austin personal injury attorney is prepared to take the lead in obtaining the evidence necessary to show another’s blame for an accident. This can include acquiring:
Using this information, a tenacious attorney in Austin aims to connect another party’s negligence to a client’s losses. This helps to build persuasive demand packages that convince a defendant and their insurance company to settle the claim. It may also serve as the basis for a civil complaint that demands compensation in court. Our team is prepared to do whatever is necessary to bring people the payments that they deserve.
