How a Lakeway Personal Injury Law Firm Can Help Establish Liability in Your Case

Determining liability in a personal injury accident can be straightforward in some situations and more complex in others. Personal injury attorneys typically begin by investigating the details of the accident and reviewing available evidence. They also have access to professional resources and networks that many victims do not, allowing them to better identify the underlying cause of the incident. Once the responsible party is identified, Guajardo Injury Law works to build a case that demonstrates their liability for the accident.

Injury law firms assist clients by gathering evidence that connects the responsible party to the accident. This may include proof of negligent actions and how those actions directly caused the victim’s injuries. Attorneys also collect documentation that illustrates the full extent of a victim’s losses. Together, this evidence helps establish liability and determine the compensation victims may be entitled to recover.

Before a personal injury claim can move forward, fault must be clearly established. Liability plays a major role in how a case is handled and ultimately resolved. It is also important to understand that at-fault parties and insurance companies often attempt to avoid responsibility or reduce payouts. In many cases, they may try to shift blame onto the injured party. Having an experienced attorney can help protect your rights, challenge unfair blame, and ensure your claim is pursued as strongly as possible.

Let Us Protect
Your Rights.

Understanding How Shared Fault Can Impact a Personal Injury Claim

Most personal injury accidents occur because of another person’s negligence, but some incidents involve more than one responsible party. When multiple parties contribute to an accident, determining liability becomes more complex. Each party’s role in causing the incident must be carefully evaluated, and their level of responsibility can directly affect how compensation is awarded.

Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 33, fault is assigned as a percentage to each party involved in an accident. If you are found to be 50% or less at fault, you may still recover compensation, but your damages will be reduced according to your percentage of responsibility. However, if a party is determined to be more than 50% at fault, they are not eligible to recover compensation for their losses. If you believe you may share some responsibility for an accident, consulting an experienced personal injury lawyer is important. An attorney can work to reduce the amount of fault attributed to you and help you pursue the compensation you may still be entitled to receive.

Can I Still Receive Compensation if I Was Partially at Fault?

Yes, under Texas’s modified comparative fault principle, often called the 51% rule, you can still receive compensation for your injuries if you are not more than 50% responsible. Whatever amount of fault you are deemed to have will directly reduce your total amount of compensation. For example, if you were found to be 10% at fault for an accident and were awarded $100,000, you would only receive $90,000.

Because of the way that modified comparative fault works, insurance companies may try to shift more blame to you to reduce the amount they need to pay out. If you work with our Lakeway personal injury attorney, we will work to make sure that your claim solidly shows where the true negligence and fault lie. As your injury attorney, our goal is to secure justice and the maximum amount of compensation possible to cover your losses.

Texas Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury

Getting started with a personal injury lawyer as soon as you are able after your accident can help you be sure that you do not miss out on your chance to get compensation. Under Texas law, you generally only have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline could mean missing out on your ability to get any compensation for your losses.

Plus, the sooner you get started on your claim, the better. Our Lakeway personal injury lawyer will help you gather evidence that may disappear or be overwritten if you wait too long. After all, eyewitness memories fade, accident scenes must be cleaned up, and security footage is typically only stored for a limited time. Do not miss out on your chance to receive compensation by delaying.
