How Much Does A Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
Most personal injury attorneys will take this type of case on a contingency fee basis. This means that you don’t pay anything up front and the attorney only collects fees if you win.
The average personal injury lawyer in Texas charges anywhere from 25% to 45% of the final settlement amount. This depends on how much work the lawyer had to do on the case. For example, they typically charge less fees if the case settles in the prelitigation stage. If the lawyer is forced to file a lawsuit, then the percentage of fees they charge will go up.
How Much Is My Case Worth?
The value of a case varies according to the circumstances of the crash, parties involved, their insurance policy coverage and policy limits, the injuries sustained and the amount of medical bills incurred. It also depends on whether liability is clear or if fault can be attributed to you as well as the other driver.
What Does "Policy Limits" Mean?
Insurance policy limits are set according to the type of policy an insured purchases. The limit is the maximum amount of money that the insurance company would have to pay if their insured causes a crash and injures you. The minimum policy limits in Texas is $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident.
How Long Will It Take To Settle My Case?
The short answer to this question is that it can take anywhere from a few months to a few years to settle a Texas personal injury claim. The average across all personal injury cases is around 90 days.
What Is A Negligence Claim?
In Texas, drivers have a duty to of reasonable care when they are on the road. For example, drivers should not run red lights, text while driving or fail to yield the right of way. When a Texas driver fails to operate within the standard of reasonable care on a Texas road, they have breached their duty. If you suffered injuries due to the negligence of another driver, you have sustained damages for which that driver should be responsible. In other words, the negligent driver should be responsible for paying your medical bills (your damages).
