Why Should I Hire a Dallas Personal Injury Lawyer?

Dallas County Courthouse
Dallas County Courthouse

After being involved in an accident, most personal injury victims find themselves dealing with the responsible party’s insurance company and defense teams.

Insurance companies understand the claims process inside and out and are equipped with skilled negotiators and experts who will seek to minimize your damages or deny your claim entirely.

As a result, it is crucial to have a personal injury lawyer on your side to guide you through every step of the process.

Our legal team can conduct an investigation, gather the evidence needed to strengthen your case, work with accident reconstructionists, and negotiate for the fair settlement you deserve.

Don’t delay getting the guidance and support you need in the aftermath of a personal injury. Schedule a free consultation today to learn more about how our Dallas personal injury lawyers can help with your case.

$1,530,000

Trucking Collision

Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers represented a client injured in a collision with an 18-wheeler resulting in multiple skin grafts and the eventual loss of her leg.

$1,000,000

Premises Liability

Jeff Benton represented a client who slipped and fell due to a roof leak in his apartment after management made multiple attempts to repair the leak. The fall led to a back injury that required surgery. The client’s pain, mental anguish, and impairment from the fall were significant. After taking several depositions from former employees, it was revealed that there was still an open work order for additional repairs from two weeks before the client’s fall. No one from the apartment complex could explain why the repairs were not addressed. At that point, the insurance company for the apartment complex tendered its policy limits of $1,000,000.
Attorney’s Fees: $394,000 Expenses: $14,839.22

$1,000,000

Premises Liability

Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers represented a client who slipped and fell on the stairs in an open hallway at her apartment complex while maintenance personnel was power-washing, requiring multiple surgeries. While the defendants denied liability, a settlement was reached after it was revealed there were no warning signs where the client entered the stairwell.

Texas Accident Statistics

Texas Accident Statistics

In 2021 in the United States, there were 306,086 reported injury-related deaths, and 45,404 of those were caused by motor vehicle accidents.

Texas has seen its share of car crashes. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that from 2020 to 2021, Texas experienced an increase in motor vehicle traffic fatalities, with the 2021 death toll of 4,489 being a 15.22% increase from the 3,896 deaths recorded in 2020.

 

On top of that, 15,764 serious injury crashes occurred in Texas in 2021, with 19,448 people sustaining severe injuries. Clearly, car crashes in Texas are on the rise and cause significant harm to those involved.

 

In 2021, Texas saw a fatal motor vehicle crash every 1 hour 57 minutes, an injury crash every 2 minutes 12 seconds, and a reportable crash every 57 seconds. In the same year, 239,539 people were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes, and 521 motorcyclists (operators and passengers) were killed. 45% of those motorcyclists killed were not wearing helmets at the time of the crash. Furthermore, 824 pedestrian fatalities occurred in 2021, a 15.24% increase from 2020.

 

Texas’s accident statistics show that, in 2021, most traffic fatalities occurred in rural areas, accounting for 51.04% of deaths. Additionally, single-vehicle, run-off-the-road crashes resulted in 1,550 deaths this year, accounting for 34.53% of all motor vehicle traffic deaths in Texas.

 

Tragically, 2021 was the second deadliest year for traffic fatalities in Texas since the state started tracking them in 1940. These statistics demonstrate the real dangers of driving on Texas roads.

Texas Personal Injury FAQ

A personal injury lawsuit in Texas is a civil action brought against a person or entity who has caused an injury to another person. These cases are typically based on negligence.

The injured party seeks financial compensation for their damages. Usually, these suits are filed by an experienced attorney, who represents victims and is well-versed in personal injury matters.

The defendants are typically individuals or insurance providers. Civil cases are an effort to recover the cost of medical treatment, lost wages, and/or pain and suffering — for example, after auto accidents.

What Is a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

A personal injury claim in Dallas is a legal process whereby an injured person seeks compensation from the individual or entity responsible for their injuries. In order to have a successful claim, you will need to prove that the other party was negligent and that their negligence caused your injuries.

For example, if you were in a car accident, you would need to prove that the other driver was at fault before you could receive compensation for your damages. The Dallas personal injury attorneys at Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers are here to help successfully resolve your case.

What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

Negligence is defined as the failure to use reasonable care, which results in harm to another person. In order for someone to be considered negligent, they must have owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused you to suffer injuries as a result of their breach.

For example, all drivers owe other people on the road a duty of care to drive safely. If a driver breaches that duty by texting while driving and causes an accident, that would likely be considered negligent.

Contact our law firm today if you have your own pressing questions that only a personal injury lawyer in Dallas can answer.

What Is Negligence?

There are many different types of personal injury claims. Some of the most common include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, and pharmaceutical drug injuries.

However, Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers also handles cases involving wrongful death, work-related accidents, bicycle accidents, dog bites, burn injuries, brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord injuries, and product liability.

Our personal injury lawyers cover a broad range of practice areas to support injury victims and secure compensation for their damages.

What Are the Different Types of Personal Injury Claims?

A statute of limitations is the deadline you have to file a lawsuit. For most cases, the personal injury statute of limitations in Texas is two years from the date of the accident.

This means that if you do not file your lawsuit within two years of your accident, you will likely be barred from recovering compensation.

It is important to note that there are some exceptions to this rule. It’s critical that you speak with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your claim is filed in a timely manner.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Filing a Personal Injury Claim in Texas?

Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers, as well as most personal injury lawyers in Texas, work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we do not get paid unless and until we recover compensation for you in your case.

This allows you to get the legal help you need without having to pay any upfront costs, which could make your access to justice cost-prohibitive.

How Much Will It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas?

There is no such thing as an “average” personal injury settlement. Each case is unique, and the amount of compensation you recover will depend on a number of factors.

Some of the factors that will affect your settlement include the severity of your injuries, the amount of medical bills you have incurred, and whether you were able to return to work.

What Is the Average Settlement for a Personal Injury Claim in Texas?

Again, there is no “average” timeline for settling personal injury claims, as each case is unique and will progress at its own pace.

That being said, most claims do not go to trial and are instead resolved through negotiation and settlement between the parties involved.

How Long Will It Take To Settle My Personal Injury Claim in Texas?

Some of the factors that will affect your settlement amount include the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical bills, whether you missed work as a result of your injuries, and the pain and suffering you endured.

An experienced personal injury lawyer in Dallas will be able to evaluate your case and give you a better idea of what to expect in terms of a settlement.

What Factors Will Affect the Amount of My Settlement?

If you’ve been injured in an accident, the first and most important thing you should do is seek medical attention. Even if you think your injuries are minor, it is essential to have them evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible.

After you have sought medical treatment, you should reach out to an experienced personal injury lawyer who can evaluate your case and help you decide what the best course of action is.

What Should I Do If I’ve Been Injured in an Accident?

There are a few things you can do to protect yourself after an accident. First, it is important that you seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you do not think your injuries are serious. This will also ensure that you have a record of your injuries, which will be important if you decide to file a personal injury claim in Texas.

Second, you should not speak to the insurance company until you have spoken to an attorney. The adjuster will likely try to get you to give a statement, but anything you say could be used against you in your case.

Finally, it is important that you do not sign anything without first speaking to an attorney. Many insurance companies will try to get you to sign a release, but this could waive your right to file a personal injury lawsuit.

An experienced personal injury lawyer will be able to protect your rights against the insurance company and ensure that you are fairly compensated for your injuries.
