-
Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offers a settlement?
It is highly advisable to consult with a lawyer even if an insurance company offers a settlement. Initial offers are often significantly lower than the actual value of your claim. An attorney can evaluate the offer, negotiate on your behalf, and ensure that your rights and future needs are fully considered.
-
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means that if you are found to be 51% or more at fault for the accident, you are generally barred from recovering any damages. However, if your fault is determined to be less than 51%, your recoverable damages may be reduced proportionally to your percentage of fault. Marchand Law can assess the specific circumstances of your case to determine how comparative negligence might apply.
-
How much is my pedestrian accident case worth?
Case values depend on various factors including injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We provide honest assessments based on our extensive experience with similar cases in the Dallas area.
-
What if the driver who hit me doesn't have insurance?
Uninsured motorist coverage through your own insurance policy may provide compensation. Our firm can help you navigate these claims and explore other potential sources of recovery.
-
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in Texas?
Texas law provides a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including pedestrian accidents. However, evidence can disappear and witnesses' memories can fade, so contacting an attorney promptly is crucial.
