Frequently Asked Questions
Should I accept a settlement from the insurance company?
Before accepting money or signing any agreement with the insurance carrier, you must consult with a legal representative. Your lawyer can work with the insurance adjuster to get you the most compensation possible and will represent you in court if necessary. Insurance companies are notorious for offering a low settlement in the hopes that victims will take the money and walk away. Don't cheat yourself out of the damages you are owed. Contact a lawyer right away before agreeing to any personal injury settlement with an insurer.
How does the court determine who has liability in an accident?
There are many ways that judges and other legal officials use to find out who was at fault in a Texas accident. They will consider many forms of evidence, including security cameras, physical evidence found at the crash, law enforcement reports, eyewitness accounts, and more. It is possible for both parties to share some of the responsibility for an accident in Texas. As long as you have less than half of the blame, the other party should compensate you for losses resulting from their negligence.
Who can file a wrongful death claim in Texas?
Wrongful death may occur for many reasons, including car accidents, workplace incidents, medical malpractice, and faulty products. If your loved one has died because of another person or a company's negligence, you may be able to sue for damages if you are a close family member under Texas law. The family members who may bring a wrongful death claim in Houston are the deceased person's children, spouse, and parents. Siblings are excluded from the right to wrongful death suits. If you need help filing a wrongful death claim, please consult with experienced attorneys like those at The Shariff Law Firm, PLLC, for the help you need.
How does liability work in a slip-and-fall accident?
Property owners in Houston are responsible for keeping their lands and buildings clear of hazards that could cause injury to guests and visitors. If the owner knowingly left debris or unsafe conditions, they could be held liable for damages that occurred because of an accident on their property. However, the victim must have been present legally to seek compensation. Property owners do not owe a duty of care to trespassers other than to not knowingly cause harm. If you or a loved one is suffering because of a trip and fall accident, reach out to our law firm today.
What should I do if I am injured in a Houston bus accident?
As in any motor vehicle accident, your first response should be to get medical treatment following the incident. Even if you feel fine, you should still seek attention from a trusted medical professional because adrenaline can mask the pain of your injuries. You should also be sure that someone has called 911 so the police and EMTs can keep everyone safe and file a report. After or even during rehabilitation, you may want to think about seeking compensation. Please only agree to settlements from the insurance company after speaking with an attorney first. Call The Shariff Law Firm, PLLC, for honest lawyers who will fight for your rights following a bus accident.
What kinds of injuries are covered in a personal injury claim?
A personal injury lawsuit can cover virtually any injury that causes enough damage that it affects you severely. You must show the court that you have suffered in some way, including financially, physically, mentally, or emotionally. Your personal injury attorney can help you gather evidence that shows you deserve full compensation under Texas law. Some common injuries that typically result in compensation include traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, damage to internal organs, burns, lacerations, and spinal injuries.
What kind of accident qualifies for a personal injury lawsuit?
To have a valid personal injury claim, certain aspects of an accident must be present. First, the liable party must have owed the victim a duty of care, such as a driver who should drive in such a way that they do not risk harming others on the roadway. You must also prove that the at-fault party did not fulfill this duty and that their actions directly caused your injuries. Lastly, you must show that your injuries are severe enough to merit compensation. This may include physical injury, loss of earning capacity, lost income, disfigurement, emotional distress, and more. Contact our law group to discuss your unique case with our talented legal team and see if you have a valid personal injury claim.
Do all personal injury claims go to court?
No, not all personal injury claims end up going to court. We often work with insurance companies and negligent parties to find a settlement that adequately compensates the victim. However, if a settlement is not possible out of court, our talented litigation attorneys are prepared to defend your rights in court.
