Our Personal Injury Attorneys Handle All Types Of Injury Cases
Don’t trust the insurance company or leave your decision to “guesswork.” You need advice from experienced injury attorneys. The attorneys at Link & Associates are extremely experienced and have represented many, many people in many types of catastrophic injury cases, including:
- Auto accidents: Whether you are dealing with a simple rear-end collision or a complex multivehicle crash, our team of attorneys is experienced in Texas’s modified comparative fault system and can help ensure you navigate insurance claims, property damage and personal injury compensation caused by accidents involving distracted driving, speeding or other driver negligence.
- Commercial trucking accidents, including delivery truck accidents: Commercial truck accidents in Dallas often result in severe injuries due to the size disparity between trucks and passenger vehicles. Under Texas law, trucking companies must maintain specific insurance requirements and follow strict federal regulations. Our firm handles cases involving delivery trucks, 18-wheelers and commercial vehicles to help ensure compliance with both Texas state laws and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations.
- Construction/industrial accidents: Construction sites in Dallas must comply with both OSHA regulations and Texas workplace safety laws. We handle cases involving scaffold accidents, electrical injuries, falling objects and equipment malfunctions. While Texas does not require private employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance, we help injured workers explore all available legal options, including third-party liability claims.
- Dog bite injuries: Texas’s “one bite rule” mandates pet owners to prevent dogs they know or should know are dangerous from attacking others. As such, we work to establish owner liability under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 82.005 to help ensure survivors recover compensation for their general damages.
- Work-related injuries: While Texas does not require private employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance, we still help injured workers navigate their legal options. For nonsubscribers (employers without workers’ comp), we can pursue negligence claims with potentially higher compensation than traditional workers’ comp benefits and also handle third-party liability claims when someone other than your employer is responsible for your injuries.
- Slip-and-fall injuries and premises liability: Under Texas premises liability law, property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. We can handle cases involving inadequate maintenance, poor lighting, wet floors and dangerous property conditions. Our attorneys have been in the legal industry for enough time to understand the different duties owed to invitees, licensees and trespassers under Texas law, and we work to establish the property owner’s knowledge of dangerous conditions.
We understand the financial hardship these cases take on a client, which is why we handle all personal injury cases on a contingency basis: no fee unless we obtain a settlement for your injuries. Additionally, all expenses and costs for your case are advanced from Link & Associates, and we do not collect a fee unless we win compensation for you.
What To Expect From The Personal Injury Claim Process
Navigating a personal injury claim can feel unfamiliar, particularly without the legal knowledge of the Texas personal injury legal system. Generally speaking, every personal injury case is different and comes with its specific uncertainty. The length of time it takes to resolve each case depends on the specific details. While some claims may be resolved quickly, others can take months or even years.
However, there are common steps involved in the personal injury claim process that you can expect when working with our Dallas Personal injury attorneys:
- Initial consultation and case evaluation: Since this is the first step in determining how we can help you pursue the compensation you deserve, we will sit down with you to understand the details of your accident. We will answer your questions, ask some of our own questions and discuss the available legal options.
- Investigate and build your case: Once you hire us, we will start gathering all the required evidence and constructing a strong case on your behalf. Depending on the complexity of your case, this phase could take weeks or months.
- Calculate your damages and submit a demand letter: Before starting settlement negotiations, we help ensure all your losses are fully assessed. Once the full extent of your damages is clear, we will draft and submit a demand letter to the liable party or their insurance company, outlining your claim and requesting fair compensation.
- Handle settlement negotiations: In most cases, the at-fault party or their insurance company will respond to the demand letter with a counteroffer or denial. We can negotiate on your behalf to reach a fair settlement that reflects the full value of your claim.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If negotiations fail, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf. Since settlement negotiations may proceed to trial even after filing, we will represent you every step of the way to help ensure a favorable outcome in court.
We do not just handle cases; we support individuals through challenging times, fighting relentlessly for the compensation they deserve.
Our attorneys develop a tailored approach for each client. Regardless of how unique your case is, working with us means you can trust our legal team from start to finish, working tirelessly to secure the compensation you need.
Dallas Personal Injury FAQ
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury. This means that you must file a lawsuit within two years from the date on which the injury occurred. If you fail to do so, you might lose your right to sue and obtain compensation for your injuries. Contact our Dallas personal injury attorneys as soon as possible to ensure that your case is handled in a timely manner.
What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury lawsuit in Texas?
In Texas, you may be able to recover several types of damages in a personal injury lawsuit, including:
- Economic damages: These are tangible losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.
- Non-economic damages: These include intangible losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Punitive damages: These are awarded in cases of gross negligence or malicious intent to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future. However, punitive damages are not awarded in every case and are subject to specific legal standards.
How does comparative negligence affect a personal injury case in Texas?
Texas follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule, which means that if you are partially at fault for your injuries, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are more than 50% responsible for the accident, you will not be able to recover any compensation from the other at-fault parties. This rule encourages individuals to pursue compensation even if they have some degree of fault in the incident. If you have any questions at all about comparative negligence in your case, our personal injury lawyers can provide answers.
