Injuries Commonly Seen in Personal Injury Claims

Not every injury heals with rest and time. Some require surgery, months of rehabilitation, or lifelong care. Others limit what a person can do for work, or whether they can work at all.

Personal injury claims in Fulshear frequently involve:

• Fractures and broken bones;
• Severe burns;
• Herniated discs and other back or neck damage;
• Spinal cord injuries resulting in partial or total paralysis;
• Concussions and traumatic brain injuries; and
• Soft tissue injuries, including whiplash.

Before You Give a Recorded Statement

After an injury, insurance adjusters may contact you soon after an accident and ask for a recorded statement. You're not required to give one, and it's reasonable to wait until you've had time to speak with a Fulshear personal injury attorney.

Recorded statements become part of the claim file. The questions adjusters ask are designed to gather information that helps them evaluate liability and damages from their perspective. Having legal guidance before responding can help you avoid saying something that unintentionally undermines your position.

If you've already given a statement, that doesn't mean your case is over. But if you haven't, it's worth understanding your rights and the full extent of your injuries before you do.

When someone else's negligence causes an injury, you have the right to pursue compensation. Contact us at (832) 690-7000 to speak with a Fulshear personal injury lawyer about your options.

What Compensation Can Be Recovered After an Injury?

A serious injury reaches beyond hospital bills. It can interfere with your ability to earn a living, care for your family, sleep through the night, or do the things that made life enjoyable before the accident.

A personal injury claim allows you to pursue compensation for:

• Emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, and ongoing treatment;
• Income lost while recovering, including bonuses, benefits, and missed opportunities;
• Diminished earning potential if the injury affects your ability to do your job long-term;
• Costs for in-home assistance, transportation, or modifications to your living situation;
• Chronic pain that limits mobility, concentration, or restful sleep;
• Anxiety, depression, and other emotional effects tied to the accident; and
• The loss of activities, relationships, and routines that defined your daily life.

Building a claim that reflects all of this requires a detailed picture of how life has changed, not just medically, but personally and financially.

We Don't Settle For Less Than You Deserve

A Martindale-Nolo survey found that over 90% of people who hired a lawyer received compensation, compared to just 51% of those who handled the process on their own. The gap isn't just about whether someone gets paid. It's about how much they recover and how they're treated throughout the process.

These results show what's possible when a legal team is fully committed to a client's case:

• $117 million verdict (Catastrophic vehicle accident): Our client was struck by an emergency vehicle and sustained life-altering injuries. After extensive investigation and aggressive litigation, we secured a verdict that provides for lifelong medical care and support.
• $350,000 settlement (Slip and fall at a hair salon): Our client fell on exterior stairs that lacked visible nosing and had a substandard handrail. We established the property owner's negligence and recovered compensation that allowed our client to move forward.
• $250,000 settlement (Go-kart accident): A couple was injured when go-kart attendants failed to open the start/stop gate. We held the facility accountable for its employees' negligence and secured compensation for both clients.

Every case is different, but the approach is the same: thorough preparation, clear documentation, and a willingness to take the case to trial if the insurance company won't offer fair compensation.

Is There a Time Limit to File a Fulshear Personal Injury Lawsuit?

In Texas, most personal injury cases must be filed within two years of the incident date. This applies to car accidents on FM 1093, slip and falls at a Fulshear shopping center, dog bites in a neighborhood park, and most other injury claims. Missing this deadline typically means losing the right to pursue compensation.

Some exceptions may change the timeline for bringing a Fulshear personal injury lawsuit:

• Government-related incidents: If a city vehicle caused the crash or a hazard on public property led to a fall, shorter notice requirements may apply. Texas law requires formal notice to the appropriate government entity, sometimes within six months.
• Delayed discovery of injury: In certain medical malpractice cases, the harm isn't immediately obvious. If a surgical error causes complications that surface months later, the filing window may begin when the problem is diagnosed rather than when the procedure took place.
• Minors or incapacitated individuals: If the injured person is a child or someone unable to manage their own legal affairs, Texas law may extend the deadline to allow a parent or guardian to file on their behalf.

If you're unsure which deadline applies, a Fulshear personal injury attorney can review the details and help you act in time.

How Can a Fulshear Personal Injury Law Firm Help?

After an accident, you're often dealing with medical appointments, insurance calls, and lost income all at once. A Fulshear personal injury law firm can handle the legal side while you focus on recovery.

That includes:

• Investigating how the accident happened and who bears responsibility;
• Collecting evidence such as photos, surveillance footage, police reports, and witness accounts;
• Working with medical providers to document the full extent of your injuries;
• Calculating current and future losses related to income, treatment, and quality of life;
• Managing communication with insurance companies; and
• Negotiating for fair compensation or taking the case to trial if necessary.

We keep clients informed throughout the process. That means returning calls promptly, explaining what to expect at each stage, and involving you in key decisions about your case.

Insurance companies frequently open with lowball offers that don't reflect the true value of a claim. We push back with documented evidence and a clear picture of what you've lost. If a fair settlement can't be reached, we're prepared to litigate.
