A personal injury lawsuit can take anywhere from a few months to a few years.

Some parties opt to take advantage of alternative dispute resolution methods to speed things up. Just Wrecked, PLLC will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

The majority of personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay anything up front.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain when you retain Just Wrecked, PLLC to represent you.

This depends on a few different factors.

The check is sent to your attorney, who deposits it in your client trust account. Depending on the check amount, this can take several days to clear. Once it has cleared, your attorney will contact you to arrange a time for you to pick up your settlement check.

If the adjuster persists, tell them to contact your lawyer, and make sure your lawyer knows you are being contacted. If you have not retained a lawyer, be very cautious when speaking to an adjuster, so you don’t inadvertently harm your case.

Compensatory Damages
Compensatory damages are financial damages that you may have incurred as a result of the accident. This includes medical bills, lost wages, future loss of income, property damage, etc. These damages can be easily calculated and there is typically proof and documentation to back up claims of compensatory damages.

General Damages
These are non-monetary damages that you have suffered. General damages are hard to calculate because the basis of them is subjective rather than objective. This includes pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and emotional distress.

In rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded for behavior that is egregious and malicious. This is a rare exception and should be discussed at length with your attorney before you request punitive damages from a negligent party.

If you have been injured in a car accident, you need to seek treatment for your injuries immediately. Even though you have two years from the time of your personal injury accident to file your case with the courts in Texas, treatment for your injuries should never wait.
