Two Critical Warnings for Accident Victims
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late: Your Legal Deadline
In Texas, you have just two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. Miss this deadline, and you lose your right to compensation forever.
Exceptions may apply:
- Minors: The clock starts at age 18
- Discovery rule: Applied in rare cases where injuries weren’t immediately apparent
- Government claims: Require notice within six months
The Danger of Quick Insurance Settlements
Insurance companies often make quick offers hoping you’ll settle before understanding your case’s true value. What they don’t tell you:
- Your injuries may require future medical treatment
- You deserve compensation for ongoing pain and suffering
- You may be entitled to lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Your vehicle may be undervalued in their assessment
Consulting with our experienced Lubbock attorneys before accepting any offer ensures you don’t leave thousands of dollars on the table.
Compensation You Can Recover After a Lubbock Car Accident
After being injured by someone else’s negligence, you deserve full and fair compensation. Our attorneys fight aggressively to secure every dollar you’re entitled to:
1. Economic Damages
| Type of Economic Damage | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Medical Expenses | Hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy |
| Future Medical Costs | Long-term care and ongoing treatments |
| Lost Wages | Income lost while recovering from injuries |
| Loss of Earning Capacity | Reduced ability to earn in the future |
| Property Damage | Vehicle repair/replacement and personal items |
| Out-of-Pocket Expenses | Transportation, home modifications, etc. |
2. Non-Economic Damages
These damages compensate for intangible losses:
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain and emotional distress
- Mental anguish: Anxiety, depression, PTSD
- Loss of enjoyment: Inability to participate in activities you once enjoyed
- Loss of consortium: Impact on relationships with family
3. Punitive Damages
In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior. These damages are less common but can significantly increase your compensation in egregious cases.
Essential Elements for a Successful Car Accident Claim
To secure compensation, your case must establish these four key elements:
1. Duty of Care
All drivers must operate their vehicles safely and follow traffic laws. This establishes the baseline responsibility that the other driver owed to you.
2. Breach of Duty
We must prove the driver failed in their duty through actions like:
- Speeding
- Running red lights
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence
- Failing to yield
3. Causation
We must link their breach directly to the accident and your injuries through evidence, witness testimony, and sometimes accident reconstruction.
4. Damages
Finally, we document all harm you’ve suffered: physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial losses.
