We Represent Those Injured in Denton County
A serious injury can devastate your life. From leaving you in medical debt to impacting your ability to work, some accidents are incredibly difficult to recover from. However, there are laws in place to help you get compensation after someone else has done you wrong. If you have been severely injured in Denton County due to someone else’s negligence, file a personal injury claim against the at-fault party.
Filing a claim doesn’t automatically mean you will get the settlement you deserve, however. A successful claim will rely on the attorney that you work with. If you make the mistake of working with a settlement mill, then you will never receive fair compensation. That is where the Denton County personal injury lawyers at The Lenahan Law Firm come in. We work exclusively with severely injured victims, which allows us to give our clients the time and attention they deserve. To find out more about how we may be able to help you, call us at (214) 295-1008 today.
What Is a Personal Injury?
After going through an accident, you may have heard the term “personal injury” thrown around on different websites. However, you may not know what personal injury actually means. A personal injury case is one in which someone suffered tangible harm as the result of someone else’s negligence. It is a specific kind of civil claim, and only applies to certain scenarios. Some of the more common accidents that lead to personal injury include:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Premises liability
- Dog attacks
- Construction site accidents
- Swimming pool falls and near-drownings
- Slip-and-falls
- Defective products
- Oilfield accidents
- Negligent security
Of course, there are countless other ways that another person could hurt you. If you have been involved in a personal injury accident, then it means you can file a claim against the at-fault party and their insurance provider.
However, there are limits. For example, there is a statute of limitations on personal injury claims, meaning you have to file your claim within a certain period of time to recover compensation. In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. This means that you have two years to file your claim following the day of the accident.
Why You Should File a Claim
Personal injury claims exist so that victims of negligence can recover compensation for the losses they suffered. A serious accident can leave victims trying to pay off medical debt, repair damaged property, and make up for lost wages. On top of that, victims also suffer the emotional strain that these kinds of accidents cause.
By filing a claim, victims can get the compensation they need to recover emotionally, physically, and financially, such as:
- Medical bills
- Therapy costs
- Property damage
- Lost wages
- Loss of job opportunities
- Lowered quality of life
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of enjoyment
Filing a claim is especially important when a serious injury has led to a permanent disability. An accident could easily leave you with brain damage, or an amputation, or even paralysis. These kinds of disabilities impact your ability to work and leave you with astronomical medical costs. However, recovering compensation isn’t an easy process. It requires the help of an experienced Denton County personal injury attorney, who can fight for your rights to a fair settlement.
What Makes Our Firm Different
There are plenty of lawyers who handle personal injury cases; however, there are few who can provide the same level of service as The Lenahan Law Firm. Most firms in Texas take on hundreds, even thousands, of clients at a time. These are called settlement mills, and the lawyers who work for them are not on your side. Most settlement mills have deals with insurance companies, and will even encourage their clients to take lower settlements than they actually deserve. This allows the firms to take on tons of clients as well as rake in money from insurance companies that don’t want to offer high compensation.
At The Lenahan Law Firm, we do the exact opposite. We only accept a handful of clients at a time. While this may limit the number of clients we can work with, it means that every client gets the attention that they truly deserve. Our attorneys never settle for less. If your case is worth a million dollars, we fight for a million dollars. If some of our cases end up in court, we are well prepared to speak to the jury, fighting on your behalf. If you have been severely injured in Denton County, then you may be in need of a dedicated attorney at The Lenahan Law Firm.
