When to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney in San Antonio

Life is a series of unexpected twists and turns. One day you may be enjoying a beautiful day along the riverwalk in company of friends and family, and the next day you may find yourself needing professional legal advice due to an unexpected turn of events like an automobile accident or a slip and fall incident. Sometimes another person’s or company’s disregardful actions can have an inadvertent effect on your life, especially if you are left struggling with physical, emotional, and financial hardship that stem from a serious injury.

If you find yourself struggling due to another person’s negligence, and do not know who to turn to for help, contact a San Antonio personal injury attorney who will aggressively fight for your right to full compensation for your distress.

A personal injury case is a legal conflict that emerges when one person suffers injury because another individual or company either acted negligently or failed to do what was necessary to keep others safe. To summarize, if you were severely hurt by another person, business, or the government because they acted recklessly or did not do what they were supposed to, you have the right to file a personal injury claim against them for both economic and non-economic damages.

A personal injury claim is formalized when you hire a lawyer who specializes in “tort law,” personal injury, to represent you. Your legal representative will investigate and uncover details in your case so that you may receive the maximum attainable compensation for your injuries.

Most personal injury claims are filed following a car accident; however, personal injury law encompasses more than vehicular collisions. The following is a short list of examples of the types of claims a San Antonio personal injury attorney can assist you with.

• Pedestrian accidents
• Motorcycle/bicycle accidents
• Semi-truck accidents
• Boating accidents
• Railroad and train accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace injuries
• Defective product injuries
• Slip and fall accidents
• Hazardous drug injury
• Dog bites

Sometimes people who have suffered an injury attempt to negotiate with insurance companies on their own. Unfortunately, insurance companies often discourage them from seeking legal representation so that they accept a quick or insufficient settlement.

• You have suffered a serious or permanent injury.
• You have lost a loved one due to someone’s negligence.
• You have accrued medical expenses and may continue to do so for future medical care.
• You have lost income due to the injury because you are unable to work.
