Para EspañolPersonal Injury FAQ
Answers from Our Dallas Attorneys
While personal injury cases are always different and unique to each client, our Dallas personal injury lawyers often receive similar questions regarding the law and their claims. At The Daspit Law Firm, we believe it is important that all injury victims and their families understand their rights and options, and have the information they need to make informed decisions regarding the claims-filing process. Because of this, we have listed answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive. If you have a question that is not answered below, we can discuss your case and address any concerns during your free case evaluation.
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is a lawsuit filed by an individual after an accident. These claims are often filed after car accidents, truck accidents, wrongful deaths, chemical exposure, industrial accidents, oil field accidents, plant or refinery explosions, premises liability, and more. Personal injury claims can be filed against single or multiple entities, such as individuals or businesses.
What is the purpose of filing a claim?
If you or someone you love is the victim of an injury-causing accident, a personal injury claim can help you recover compensation for related costs. These can include medical expenses, rehabilitative costs, loss of earning capacity, or other related damages. A personal injury claim sets out to prove the guilt of a liable party so the victim or their family can recover financially.
Will I receive compensation?
As with any legal situation, personal injury claims are all different. Determining whether or not you will receive compensation without fully investigating the situation is impossible, and to claim you will receive compensation without discussing your situation would be irresponsible on our part. We can sit with you during your free consultation, discuss your situation, and work to find out if you have a case. It is only after we review your case can we determine if you may be entitled to compensation.
Should I expect my case to go to court?
While a trial may be necessary in securing compensation, it is not always the case. We have experience in negotiations and have helped many clients reach a successful and favorable outcome many times without the case going all the way to trial.
Why do I need an attorney?
While there is no law or regulation that states you need an attorney to pursue a personal injury claim, continuing without legal representation could jeopardize your ability to reach a successful outcome. A lawyer understands the legal intricacies, the laws, analysis, and other factors that go into building a strong case. While it isn't necessary, hiring an attorney can play a key role in securing compensation.
Can I really afford to hire a lawyer?
If you choose to hire The Daspit Law Firm, you can certainly afford to hire a lawyer. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, so we will front all expenses to go to trial, obtain expert witnesses, and even help you with medical bills. We only accept payment if we are successful in securing compensation, and even then, our payment comes as a percentage of the winnings. You never pay us out of pocket.
