Common Questions After a Personal Injury

1. What should I do immediately after an accident?

• Seek medical attention right away, even if you don’t feel injured. Document the accident scene with photos, gather contact information from witnesses, and avoid discussing fault with the other party.

2. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?

• In Texas, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, exceptions may apply, so it’s important to act quickly.

3. How is fault determined in a personal injury case?

• Texas follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule, meaning you can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

4. What compensation can I recover?

• Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and, for business owners, lost business opportunities or profits.

5. Do I need to go to court for my personal injury claim?

• Many personal injury cases settle out of court. However, if a fair settlement isn’t reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.

Entrepreneur-Specific Concerns After an Injury

1. What happens if I’m unable to work or manage my business?

• As an entrepreneur, your time and leadership are critical. An injury could prevent you from managing day-to-day operations, resulting in missed opportunities, unfulfilled client contracts, or a drop in business productivity.

2. How will my business handle my absence?

• If you don’t have a succession plan or contingency management in place, an injury may lead to disruption. Loss of clients, delayed projects, or operational challenges could result from your inability to oversee critical decisions.

3. What about business income loss?

• Injuries can lead to substantial loss of business income, especially for small business owners who rely heavily on their presence. You may be entitled to compensation for both lost wages and lost profits, especially if your injury affects long-term business growth or client retention.

4. What financial risks should I prepare for?

• Beyond the immediate medical bills, an injury may incur hidden costs, such as hiring interim management, restructuring business processes, or dealing with legal complications. Evaluating future economic loss is critical when pursuing compensation.

5. Can I still pursue a personal injury claim while running my business?

• Yes, we handle all the legal complexities while you focus on managing your business as best you can. Our firm ensures that your claim includes both personal and business-related damages, including long-term financial impacts on your business.
