In Dallas, Fort Worth, Atlanta, and Chicago, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases typically allows two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, seeking legal representation early strengthens your case by preserving evidence and ensuring timely filing of legal documents.
"Digging for Dirt" means we go the extra mile to find any hidden or overlooked evidence that could help your case. This could include checking the truck driver’s history, the trucking company’s safety records, or even finding surveillance footage from nearby cameras. Our goal is to uncover anything that proves someone else was at fault to make your case as strong as possible.
Medical Expenses: Compensation for costs related to hospitalization, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care required due to the injury. For example, a victim of a car accident may seek reimbursement for ambulance fees, emergency room treatment, and physical therapy sessions.
Lost Wages: Recovery for income lost as a result of the injury, including wages missed during recovery and potential future earnings diminished by permanent disability.
Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages awarded for physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by the injury a pedestrian hit by a negligent driver may receive compensation for the emotional trauma and physical pain endured during recovery.
Property Damage: Reimbursement for repair or replacement costs of damaged property, such as vehicles or personal belongings affected by the accident. For instance, in a collision involving a commercial truck, compensation may cover repair expenses for a damaged car and its contents.
