DALLAS PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS: CASES WE HANDLE

Injuries may come in many different forms due to the number of different ways we
interact with people. You may have been injured by someone’s actions directly,

makes a critical mistake or fails to perform their required duties.

Each of these types of personal injury cases can have a wide variety of legal
consequences and impacts, and it is important to understand the full scope of
your injury in order to receive appropriate compensation.

This is why the legal team at Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers is prepared to
work with you in a number of different situations in which an injury could
occur.

workplace accident. In many cases, the injured employee should be able to file a
claim for workers’ compensation benefits for medical care from their
work-related injury. In other situations, though, a third party’s negligence may
lead to the death or serious injury of an employee.

Bicycle Accident
If you or a loved one have been injured in a bicycle accident, contact the

Burn injuries are some of the most painful injuries a person can experience in
their lives and can happen in a number of circumstances. If you suffered a
serious injury from a burn accident in Dallas, you should know your rights as a
burn victim. While most people assume the burns are largely the result of
intensive fires, burns can occur as the result of boiling water, electrical
charges, and radiation. If you or a loved one have suffered a burn, you may be
entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical bills, your pain and
suffering and lost wages.

Injuries to the brain are some of the most severe injuries to happen to a person
after a terrible accident including car and truck accidents and bicycle
accidents and can lead to lifelong injuries or even a risk of death. Many brain
injuries are minor and do not require hospitalization. However, the ability to
recognize the difference between minor a head injury and severe trauma may save

TEXAS ACCIDENT STATISTICS

In 2021 in the United States, there were 306,086 reported injury deaths, and
45,404 of those were caused by motor vehicle accidents.

Texas has seen its share of car crashes. The Texas Department of Transportation
reports that from 2020 to 2021, Texas experienced an increase in motor vehicle
traffic fatalities, with the 2021 death toll of 4,489 being a 15.22% increase
from the 3,896 deaths recorded in 2020.

On top of that, 15,764 serious injury crashes occurred in Texas in 2021, with
19,448 people sustaining severe injuries. Clearly, car crashes in Texas are on
the rise and cause significant harm to those involved.

In 2021, Texas saw a fatal motor vehicle crash every 1 hour 57 minutes, an
injury crash every 2 minutes 12 seconds, and a reportable crash every 57
seconds. In the same year, 239,539 people were injured in motor vehicle traffic
crashes, and 521 motorcyclists (operators and passengers) were killed. 45% of
those motorcyclists killed were not wearing helmets at the time of the crash.
Furthermore, 824 pedestrian fatalities occurred in 2021, a 15.24% increase from
2020.

Texas's accident statistics show that, in 2021, most traffic fatalities occurred
in rural areas, accounting for 51.04% of deaths. Additionally, single-vehicle,
run-off-the-road crashes resulted in 1,550 deaths this year, accounting for
34.53% of all motor vehicle traffic deaths in Texas.

Tragically, 2021 was the second deadliest year for traffic fatalities in Texas
since the state started tracking them in 1940. These statistics demonstrate the
real dangers of driving on Texas roads.

TEXAS PERSONAL INJURY FAQ

Schedule a free consultation with a Dallas personal injury attorney from Benton
Accident & Injury Lawyers for any further questions we can help


WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT?

A personal injury lawsuit in Texas is a civil action brought against a person or
entity who has caused an injury to another person. Usually, a personal injury
lawsuit is pursued as the result of negligence.

In these lawsuits, the injured party seeks financial compensation for their
damages, often from insurance carriers. Usually, these suits are filed by an
experienced attorney, who represents victims and is well-versed in personal
injury matters.

Usually, these civil litigation actions are brought against individuals or
insurance providers. Civil cases are an effort to recover the cost of medical
treatment and/or lost wages — for example, after auto accidents.


WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

A personal injury claim in Dallas is a legal process whereby an injured person
seeks compensation from the person or entity responsible for their injuries. In
order to have a successful claim, you will need to prove that the other party
was negligent and that their negligence caused your injuries.

For example, if you were in a car accident, you would need to prove that the
other driver was at fault before you could receive compensation for your
damages. The Dallas personal injury attorneys from Benton Accident & Injury
Lawyers are here to help successfully resolve your case.


WHAT IS NEGLIGENCE?

Negligence is defined as the failure to use reasonable care, which results in
harm to another person. In order for someone to be considered negligent, they
must have owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused you to suffer
injuries as a result of their breach.

For example, all drivers owe other people on the road a duty of care to drive
safely. If a driver breaches that duty by texting while driving and causes an
accident, that would likely be considered negligent.

If that person causes an accident, you might be owed compensation.

Contact our law firm today if you have your own pressing questions about your
personal injuries or case that only a personal injury lawyer in Dallas can
answer.


WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS?

There are many different types of personal injury claims. Some of the most
common include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and
fall accidents, and pharmaceutical drug injury.

However, we at Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers also handle wrongful death,
work-related accidents, bicycle accidents, dog bites, burn injuries, brain
injury (TBI), spinal cord injuries, and product liability cases.

In an effort to best support injury victims recover their lost wages and medical
expenses from someone else’s negligence, our personal injury lawyers cover a
range of service areas.


WHAT IS THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR FILING A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM IN TEXAS?

A statute of limitations is the deadline you have to file a lawsuit. The
personal injury statute of limitations in Texas for claims is two years from the
date of the accident.

This two year date means that if you do not file your lawsuit within two years
of the date of the accident, you will likely be barred from doing so.

It is important to note that there are some exceptions to this rule. It is
critical that you speak with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your
claim is filed in a timely manner.


HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER IN TEXAS?

We at Benton Accident & Injury Lawyers, as well as most personal injury lawyers
in Texas, work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we do not get paid
unless and until we recover compensation for you in your case.

This allows you to get the legal help you need without having to pay any upfront
costs, which could make your access to justice cost-prohibitive.


WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SETTLEMENT FOR A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM IN TEXAS?

There is no such thing as an ‘average’ personal injury settlement, as each
personal injury law case is unique and the amount of compensation you recover
will depend on a number of factors.

Some of the factors that will affect your settlement include the severity of
your injuries, the amount of medical bills you have incurred, and whether you
were able to return to work.


HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SETTLE MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM IN TEXAS?

Again, there is no ‘average’ timeline for settling personal injury claims, as
each case is unique and will progress at its own pace.

That being said, most claims do not go to trial and are instead resolved through
negotiation and settlement between the parties involved.


WHAT FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE AMOUNT OF MY SETTLEMENT?

Some of the factors that will affect the amount of your settlement include the
severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical bills, whether you missed
work as a result of your injuries, and the pain and suffering you endured.

An experienced personal injury lawyer in Dallas will be able to evaluate your
case and give you a better idea of what to expect in terms of a settlement.


WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I’VE BEEN INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT?

If you’ve been injured in an accident, the first and most important thing you
should do is seek medical attention. Even if you think your injuries are minor,
it is important to have them evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible.

After you have sought medical attention, you should reach out to an experienced
personal injury lawyer who can evaluate your case and help you decide what the
best course of action is.


HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF AFTER AN ACCIDENT?

There are a few things you can do to protect yourself after an accident. First,
it is important that you seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you
do not think your injuries are serious. This will also ensure that you have a
record of your injuries, which will be important if you decide to file a
personal injury claim in Texas.

Second, it is important that you do not speak to the insurance company until you
have spoken to an attorney. The insurance company will likely try to get you to
give a statement, but anything you say could be used against you in your case.

Finally, it is important that you do not sign anything without first speaking to
an attorney. Many insurance companies will try to get you to sign a release, but
this could waive your right to file a personal injury claim.

An experienced personal injury lawyer will be able to protect your rights
against the insurance company and ensure that you are fairly compensated for
your injuries.
