Types of Personal Injury Cases

When you think of a personal injury lawyer, you probably think of someone who represents people who’ve been in car accidents. After all, car accidents are a common way to get injured, and if your injury is someone else’s fault, you probably want them (or their insurance) to pay for medical treatment for your injuries and damage to your vehicle.

But there are a number of other reasons why you might need the Laredo accident attorneys at Carabin Shaw. Car accidents are a common reason to hire a personal injury attorney, but there are so many others, including:

  • Workplace injuries and workers’ compensation claims
  • Accidents caused by the negligence of others, such as slip and falls
  • Animal bites or attacks
  • Abuse or neglect you or a loved one suffered at a nursing home
  • Medical malpractice
  • Defective products that cause illness or injury because of a company’s negligence
Why You Need an Attorney

If you think you might have a personal injury case but the above list doesn’t describe your case, call the Laredo Attorneys Helping Victims at Carabin Shaw right away. They’ll be able to assess your situation and help you proceed with your case.

A smart, skilled attorney is a must if you’re going up against large corporations, and that’s often the case in personal injury lawsuits. You want someone who’s on top of things and fights for the compensation you deserve for the injury and property damage you sustained. Take a look at Carabin Shaw’s client reviews on their website—you’ll see that they’re smart, caring, and hard-working, not to mention tough.

Statute of Limitations in Texas

Another reason to make sure you contact one of our experienced lawyers for your personal injury claim is the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is the amount of time after you’ve been injured or suffered damages in which you can legally bring a personal injury lawsuit against a person or corporation. If you wait until after the statute of limitations has expired, you won’t be able to recover damages from the person or corporation that caused your injury.

Generally, the statute of limitations in Texas for filing a personal injury lawsuit is two years from the date of injury.

Once you decide to pursue your case, an attorney will have to conduct research, gather police reports, and possibly interview witnesses, medical professionals, or other people involved in your case. There’s also paperwork to be prepared and filed with the court. All these steps take time, so it’s in your best interest to contact a personal injury attorney in Laredo as soon as possible after the incident that gave rise to your complaint.

Statute of Limitations Exceptions

There’s also the possibility that the statute of limitations may have exceptions. One example of this is if you don’t realize that you’ve been injured until after the event, such as discovering after the fact that your doctor caused harm during a medical procedure or surgery.

There’s no way to know whether your situation warrants an exception to the statute of limitations without contacting a lawyer, so calling as soon as you realize you may have a personal injury claim is the best course of action.
