If you have just been in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, your health and peace of mind are our primary concern. Your first and most critical step is to seek a thorough medical evaluation. Even if you do not immediately feel pain, the shock and adrenaline of the incident can mask severe injuries.
Step 1: Secure Your Medical Documentation
Getting thorough documentation that clearly links your injury to the incident is paramount to a successful claim. This medical record establishes the foundation of your case, providing the vital evidence needed to challenge insurance companies who try to argue your injuries are unrelated or minor.
Step 2: Immediate Investigation and Evidence Gathering
After you have been evaluated by a medical professional, connect with a dedicated personal injury lawyer at Guajardo Injury Law. We do not waste time. We immediately launch into a full investigation of the accident, gathering time-sensitive evidence like police reports, witness statements, and accident scene photos. Memories fade, and crucial physical evidence can be lost if too much time passes.
Do not delay. The Texas Statute of Limitations for injury is generally two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline could mean missing out on your ability to regain any compensation for your damages.
Step 3: Advocacy Through Demand and Negotiation
Once the evidence is secured and the full value of your damages is calculated, your injury lawyer will craft a strategic demand letter. This powerful document, which details the negligence of the at-fault party and the compensation you are owed, is sent to their insurance company.
This initiates the negotiation process. Insurance adjusters are trained to offer low initial settlements, but our team of injury lawyers is your shield against these tactics. We fight tirelessly for a fair resolution.
Step 4: Litigation in the Williamson County Civil Courts
While the majority of personal injury claims are successfully settled outside of the court system, we are always prepared to take the next step if negotiations fail. If the insurance company refuses to offer the rightful injury compensation you deserve, your personal injury attorney will advise you on filing a lawsuit in the Williamson County Civil Courts.
Our Georgetown injury attorneys are ready to litigate on your behalf, guiding you through every phase, including discovery and mediation, to ensure that you receive the justice and financial recovery necessary for your full, successful future.
