When someone else acts in a careless, reckless, and negligent way—and it causes you to suffer injuries—Texas personal injury laws allow you to hold the at-fault party responsible. This means you can collect compensation for the physical and emotional injuries and financial losses you suffered. A personal injury lawyer in League City can help.
At D. Miller & Associates, PLLC, our attorneys can evaluate your situation and explain your legal options based on the strength of your case. Our team will explain your right to compensation and how we can help you get it in a way that you will understand. If we believe you have a valid case, we will handle the claims process for you on a contingency basis. You pay no legal fees until we win money for your damages.

Available Damages in a Winning Personal Injury Case
After we investigate the full value of your damages and understand what a fair settlement will look like, we can estimate how much your claim is worth. The nature and severity of injuries you suffered—and the cost to treat them—varies depending on the type of accident. These costs play a significant part in determining the value of your claim.
In general, some of the most common types of damages we can collect for our personal injury clients include:
- Medical expenses;
- Ongoing care costs, when necessary;
- Related out-of-pocket expenses;
- Repair or replacement of damaged property;
- Repair or replacement of damaged car, motorcycle, or bicycle;
- Lost wages for time away from work;
- Lost earning capacity if you cannot return to work;
- Wrongful death compensation if you lost a family member in a fatal accident; and
- Pain and suffering, and other emotional damages.
When accident victims try to file a personal injury claim on their own, they often have trouble calculating how much their case is worth. Because of this, they may leave thousands of dollars on the table.
To avoid this issue, it is vital to understand the full value of your case before we can negotiate a fair settlement. This is why we research your expenses and losses as a part of our investigation into your claim.
What documentation is necessary to prove the value of your case?
- Medical bills;
- Receipts from the pharmacy;
- Documentation of other care-related expenses;
- Expert testimony about your injuries, treatment, and prognosis;
- Documentation of your lasting impairments;
- Information about your future medical needs;
- Pay stubs and documentation of time away from work;
- Receipts for any accident-related expenses you paid; and
- Receipts or estimates for repair or replacement of personal property.
Negligence and Liability in a Personal Injury Claim
Winning a Texas personal injury case hinges on our ability to prove negligence and liability. This generally requires us to conduct an investigation and collect evidence to prove four elements:
- The at-fault party had a duty to act in a certain way or not act in a certain way;
- They failed to do this and put you in unreasonable danger;
- This negligent action or inaction caused or failed to prevent your injuries; and
- You suffered physical injuries and financial damages in the accident.
When our personal injury attorneys handle your claim, we will manage every aspect of the case. We know what it takes to win this type of claim, and we will aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve. In addition to investigating your accident and injuries, we will:
- Identify all liable parties and the appropriate insurance policies;
- Issue a demand letter to the insurance company demanding a payout;
- Attempt to negotiate a fair settlement agreement based on the facts of your case; and
- Litigate your case if the insurance company refuses a fair settlement.
