We Support Personal Injury Victims in Lewisville, Texas

Miller & Associates, PLLC™ knows how difficult it is to move on after an accident, especially one that could and should have been prevented. We believe that the at-fault party should be held legally and financially responsible for your injuries. Here is what we can do—and have done—for our clients.

Investigate the Accident

To establish your case, we must find convincing evidence of the four following points:

• The at-fault party had a responsibility to behave carefully to reduce the risk of injury to others.
• The at-fault party did not behave responsibly.
• The at-fault party’s irresponsibility caused your accident.
• Your accident caused your injuries.

Supporting each of these key points requires evidence, such as: 

• Your testimony
• Witness testimony
• The police report
• Your medical records
• Video footage of the incident
• Your medical records and other bills 

You can trust our legal team to gather the information required to prove negligence and establish your right to damages. 

Fight for Your Recovery

A personal injury lawyer from our office can be especially useful when it comes to seeking recovery from the at-fault party’s insurance company. Our legal team serving Lewisville can:

• Manage communications with the involved parties by sending notifications, fielding phone calls, and attending in-person meetings
• Negotiate for the funds you need and deserve based on the severity of your injuries
• Argue your case in the courtroom before a judge and jury, if necessary

Provide Access to Your Lawyer

We stay in close contact with our clients from the beginning of their cases to the very end. Your lawyer answers all calls in a timely manner. We want each client to:

• Understand what is happening with their case at all times
• Be able to make important legal decisions
• Feel comfortable asking every pressing question and concern 

Protect You from the Insurance Company

It is an insurance adjuster’s job to investigate any accident their client caused and offer financial recovery to the victim(s). However, because they work for the insurance company, their actions may reflect their employer’s interests more than yours. For instance, they may:

• Offer too little in recovery
• Deny their client had anything to do with the accident
• Accuse you of causing or contributing significantly to the accident (or of exaggerating how serious your injuries are)

Our team knows how to deal with insurance adjusters and the insurance company’s lawyers. If they try to contact you, you can tell them to speak to us instead, and we will take it from there.

Personal Injuries May Entitle You to Financial Recovery

The phrase “financial recovery” might make you think of recovery for financial losses or expenses. That may be part of what you receive, but you can also ask for recovery for other hardships related to your accident–including those without inherent financial values. 

Economic Damages vs. Non-Economic Damages

You can ask for economic damages if the accident caused: 

• Medical expenses, including both past and estimated future care costs
• Loss of income, or a temporary inability to go to work and earn a paycheck
• Reduced earning capacity, which refers to a permanent or long-term inability to earn the same income you did before
• Property damage expenses, particularly damage to a motor vehicle 

Non-economic damages refer to physical and psychological injuries that do not come with price tags. These frequently include:

• Pain and suffering, or the overall physical and psychological toll the accident has had on you
• Disability, including the total or partial loss of use of any body part
• Reduced quality of life, which refers to your inability to resume the same or a comparable lifestyle to the one you enjoyed before
• Scarring, including any marks that substantially affect your appearance or your ability to use the injured area in the future

Personal injury lawsuits usually ask for both economic and non-economic damages. We can seek a fair recovery that includes reimbursement for financial, physical, and emotional harm.

When Can I File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Texas law gives most personal injury victims two years to file lawsuits following their injuries. Missing this or any other legal deadline could put your case at risk.

If you meet the deadline, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit if another party is partially or totally responsible for the accident that caused you harm. This rule applies to accidents of all kinds, including but not limited to:

• Traffic accidents involving cars, trucks, other vehicles, and pedestrians
• Slip and fall accidents and premises liability incidents 
• Defective products, including drugs and medical devices
• Medical malpractice, including birth injuries
• Workplace accidents, including construction accidents

While anyone can suffer almost any type of accident, some populations are at more risk than others. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for instance, Texans aged 65 and older are at greater risk of falling than seniors in any other state; 33.9 percent of older adults in Texas reported falling in 2018.
