How Will My Texas Personal Injury Case Be Handled?

If you have been seriously injured in an accident as the result of a third party’s negligence or wrongdoing, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Pursuing a lawsuit may be the last thing on your mind when you are dealing with the aftermath of a serious injury, but it is important to understand the benefits of working with a Texas personal injury attorney following an accident. Contact an experienced Houston personal injury attorney with The Krist Law Firm, P.C. at (281) 283-8500 to help you navigate the legal process and obtain the compensation you deserve.

At The Krist Law Firm, P.C., we will discuss the circumstances of your accident, determine your options for moving forward, and take the time to explain possible outcomes and what you can expect during each step of the legal process. If you decide to hire our firm after a free consultation, you will work directly with one of our talented Houston personal injury attorneys, not a paralegal or legal assistant.

Investigation/Evidence Collection

We will thoroughly investigate your personal injury case in order to preserve vital evidence early and identify the parties responsible. Depending on the specific facts of your case this may include taking photos of the accident scene or your injuries, interviewing eyewitnesses, reviewing police reports, and securing evidence. In order to build your case, we will also review your medical records and discuss the extent of your injuries and prognosis with your doctors. When necessary, we will utilize the help of experts to analyze evidence and provide an independent assessment of how your accident occurred and the impact your injuries have had on your life.

Discovery

The discovery phase involves questioning anyone with knowledge of relevant facts and gathering other pertinent evidence. This often requires written discovery questions and depositions, which are interviews conducted under oath with a court reporter present. During depositions, attorneys for the defendant and plaintiff will talk to key parties to the case such as yourself, witnesses, and experts or specialists who have knowledge of the accident or your injuries.

Negotiation

At any point in the legal process, both parties can agree to settle the case. In most situations, personal injury cases are settled through agreements or arbitration rather than going to trial. The experienced personal injury attorneys at The Krist Law Firm, P.C. will handle the preparation and filing of all legal paperwork and negotiate with insurance companies or opposing parties to reach a favorable settlement if it’s in the best interest of your case.

Trial

If the other side does not agree on a settlement that is fair to you, we will push forward to a trial. Personal injury lawsuits in Texas may be decided by a judge in a bench trial or a jury through a jury trial. After presenting the evidence and the attorneys have made their opening and closing statements, the decision makers will then deliberate and come to a verdict as to liability and compensation amount. At The Krist Law Firm, P.C., we have more than four decades of courtroom experience and we begin preparing for trial on day one to help us secure better results. We have the resources necessary to pursue your case to the fullest extent and we always fight to obtain the best possible outcome for our clients.
