Even if a car accident wasn’t your fault, you should still consider hiring a personal injury lawyer to help you with your case. Car accidents can be complicated and messy, and you don’t want to suffer more than you have to.  

With help from a personal injury lawyer, you should be able to get the compensation you deserve for damages and injuries you suffered as a result of an accident.  

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you determine whether you should hire a personal injury attorney to help you on your case.  

Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer Before Filing an Insurance Claim 

If you have been in a car accident that caused injuries of any kind to your physical and mental health, you should get in touch with a personal injury lawyer before discussing the accident with your insurance company.  

While insurance companies are essential to a case, the insurance agents you speak to will likely be trying to keep the costs to their company as low as possible. For this reason, they won’t be able to offer you unbiased support.  

When you talk to a personal injury lawyer, you are talking to someone who has expertise and experience with car accident cases. They know how to deal with insurance agents and gather requisite information to help you pursue your case.  

As well, they do their best to help you recover from the damage to your life that insurance companies won’t care about. Pain, suffering, mental distress, loss of income, permanent injury, and loss of loved ones are all things that insurance companies don’t pay for. 

With the help of a personal injury attorney, you can get compensation for all you’ve lost due to an accident. Don’t try to deal with insurance and make agreements you’ll later regret before talking to a lawyer.

Hiring An Attorney Costs You Nothing Out of Pocket in Texas 

Texas personal injury attorneys don’t take payment until after they have won your case. At that point, they may take 25% to 40% of the compensation recovered from the at-fault parties in your accident. Since you don’t have to pay an attorney unless they help you win your case, you should seek legal counsel even if the accident was or wasn’t your fault.  

A personal injury attorney can help you prove the fault of the other party and recover compensation for what you and your loved ones have suffered because of the accident. And it won’t cost you a thing out of pocket.

Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Get You a Bigger Settlement 

Personal injury lawyers are experts at dealing with insurance companies. Statistics show that hiring a personal injury attorney increases your settlement 300% over those you who don’t. They have worked with so many personal injury cases before that they know well how much damage is likely to cost. 

Insurance companies try at any cost to avoid paying out for your accident claim. Insurance companies have an assortment of clever tricks they will use to prevent you from getting the compensation you deserve. An experienced personal injury lawyer can recognize and overcome any obstructions the insurance company may throw in your way. 

If you have been injured in an accident where you were not at fault, you deserve compensation from the people who caused your pain and suffering.  

You Have Two Years To File a Car Accident in Texas 

The statute of limitations for a car accident claim in Texas is two years. This means you have to file an official claim within two years of the accident taking place if you want to claim damages.  

While this may seem like a long time, it’s important that you get started as soon as possible. There are going to be plenty of legal processes to work through, so it’s best to get your claim filed and get started with a personal injury attorney on your team.  

It’s helpful to work with witnesses and other people involved while the incident is still fresh in everyone’s memory. After two years, details can start to get fuzzy, and witnesses may be hard to contact.
