What to Do if You’ve Been Injured

If you have been injured through no fault of your own, there are several important steps to take to ensure an efficient and more streamlined process for pursuing compensation.

Check the scene. Call emergency services so that they can administer medical care to those who need it and ensure a safe environment.
Gather evidence. Take photos of the scene. You’ll want to document your injuries and any property damage that the accident caused.
Protect yourself. Avoid speaking to other parties involved in the accident more than is necessary. If you were in an automobile accident, try not to speak to the other driver except to exchange insurance information. This will protect you from accidental admissions of guilt or self-incrimination.
Call a personal injury attorney. After you’ve gathered evidence and taken a few days to recover, call one of our personal injury attorneys. We’ll help you determine the best course of action for your personal injury case.

Types of Personal Injury Cases

There are many types of accidents in which you may be wrongfully injured. A few examples of such accidents include:

Types of Compensation

If you’ve been wrongfully injured, there are two main types of compensation you might expect for your damages. Depending on the nature of your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for economic and/or noneconomic damages.

Economic damages are the specific financial costs associated with an accident. Examples of these damages include the cost to repair damaged property, medical expenses, and any lost income or wages due to recovery time for an accident. The best way to document these damages is to keep track of repairs receipts, medical records, and pay stubs or timecards.
Noneconomic damages are the costs associated with the intangible mental and emotional costs of an accident, such as pain and suffering that you may experience as a result of an accident. Examples of such losses include emotional distress, psychological trauma, loss of mobility, or loss of enjoyment of life.

Personal Injury FAQs

Many of our clients come to us with questions about pursuing compensation. We’ve answered some of the ones we hear most frequently for you below.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Because no two accidents are the same, so there’s no set amount of compensation that you might expect for your injuries and/or damages. The best way to ensure you receive the appropriate amount of compensation is to document all your economic and noneconomic damages and contact an attorney to represent you as soon after your accident as you can.

What if I’m partially at fault?

The state of Texas functions on the basis of modified comparative negligence. If you share some responsibility for the accident and your case goes to court, the court will determine what percentage of fault you share. Then, any amount of damages they say you’re entitled to will be reduced by the percentage of fault they assigned you. For instance, if you are entitled to $200,000 in damages, but a jury determines that you are 30% liable for the accident, you would be entitled to no more than $140,000 in compensation. If your share of the fault is more than 50%, you won’t be eligible for any compensation at all.

What are some specific types of compensation I might expect?

There are several things for which you might seek compensation in a personal injury case. Examples of these include any rehabilitation or therapy, long-term care requirements, medical bills, lost wages due to recovery time, or any emotional pain and suffering you experience as a result of an accident.

“Even though lawyers are a totem of American life, I had avoided them out of fear and mistrust. But my husband was seriously injured in a car accident two years ago and I didn’t know which way to turn. A friend recommended giving Jeff Benton a call. I sounded desperate over the phone; but he responded to my anxiety by making a house call. Sitting at my dining room table, he listened with patience, then helped me work through my options. Being sharp, knowledgeable and effective, Jeff Benton was able to settle my case and the hospital bills within record time. I am grateful for this attorney’s caring professionalism and would recommend him to anyone facing a personal injury crisis.”

Constance

Mr. Benton represented me in a personal injury lawsuit that happened while I was traveling from NJ (my hometown) to Dallas. This was my first (and hopefully only) experience filing a lawsuit and I was unfamiliar with the entire process and didn’t know what to expect. Mr. Benton was very professional, but genuinely empathetic, competent and most importantly, honest. He did not set false expectations and he was very patient, taking care to explain every step of the process to me so I was able to make informed decisions. I must say it was positively refreshing being able to trust him completely handling my case – especially since he was 2,000 miles away!”
