What should I do if I am injured?
If you have been injured, you should obtain appropriate medical care as soon as possible. If you are able, at the scene of the accident (no matter what type of accident) you should obtain personal information from all persons present. This includes names, addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth. If you can, take pictures of the accident scene before any of the evidence is moved or altered. Our Texas personal injury team can quickly respond to your requests for help and assist you with any questions you have about your situation. We will handle personal injury case anywhere in Texas and the United States.
Who is responsible for my medical bills?
In general, the person or company “at fault” in the injury will ultimately be responsible for the medical bills and any other damages. However, your health care provider will look to you to pay for his services. If you have health insurance, you should use that insurance to obtain any medical treatment necessary. After all, that is why you pay for your health insurance-so that you will have it when you need it. Do not delay in getting treatment because you think their insurance company will pay for you to go to the doctor. Ths is one of the ways they will take advantage of you. In fact, they will argue that your failure to obtain medical care is proof that you were not injured. So, be sure and get the care you need right away. Call the Glenn Law Firm with any questions you may have about getting yourself the medical care you need.
Do I really need to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Big business and insurance companies have specially trained adjustors who spend all day every day working to settle personal injury claims for the smallest possible amount. These are full time professionals whose only agenda is to save their company money. In fact, their compensation is based on their ability to do just that. Hiring an experienced trial lawyer is the only way to keep these big companies from taking advantage of you. The fact is that these companies are bullies. They will try every thing they know to force you to settle your case for far less than you are entitled to recover. At the Glenn Law Firm, we have spent more than 25 years learning how to fight them at their own game. We fight bullies! is a not just a slogan, it is a mission. This is what we do, all day every day.
How is a personal injury trial lawyer paid?
The Glenn Law Firm, like any other personal injury firm, is paid on a contingent fee basis. That means you don’t pay unless you recover by settlement or jury verdict. A contingent fee is a predetermined and agreed percentage of your settlement or jury verdict. If you don’t recover, you are not responsible to pay for our services.
What am I entitled to recover or how much is my case worth?
The value of your case depends on multiple factors. These are all based on the physical injuries and the monetary damages you have incurred, and how these injuries will impact your life. These include:
* the extent and severity of your physical injuries
* the extent and cost of your medical treatment
* the amount of your lost wages and the impact on your ability to work in the future
* any disability associated with your injury, including future limitations
* your emotional and physical pain and suffering, including the future
In wrongful death cases, you may be able to recover all of the lost income that your family member would have earned throughout life as well as the losses associated with losing the care, comfort and society with that person. The Glenn Law Firm can help you understand exactly what you are entitled to claim based on all of the facts related to your loss.
How long will it take to recover?
While there is no way to know exactly how long your case will take to resolve, the Glenn Law Firm
can provide you with an accurate estimate of what you can expect.
