Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Austin?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically two years from the date of the injury. This timeline is critical as failing to file within it may result in losing your right to pursue legal action. At Lyons & Simmons, LLP, we emphasize taking swift action to preserve evidence and strengthen your case from the outset.

To ensure your case proceeds smoothly, it's essential to gather all relevant documentation, which can include medical reports, witness statements, and photographs of the accident scene. Acting quickly helps us build a compelling case, increasing the likelihood of a favorable settlement or ruling in your favor.

What Compensation Can I Seek After an Austin Accident?

Compensation can vary widely based on the case specifics but potentially includes medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and rehabilitation costs. Our injury attorneys in Austin will evaluate your situation thoroughly to maximize the compensation you are entitled to, ensuring all economic and non-economic damages are accounted for.

In addition to direct financial losses, compensation claims can also cover less tangible impacts like emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life. We meticulously document all aspects of your injuries and their aftermath to ensure that no part of your suffering goes unrecognized in your claim.

Do I Need a Lawyer If the Insurance Company Offers a Settlement?

Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. While a settlement may seem appealing, it's crucial to have an experienced accident attorney evaluate the offer. Our team at Lyons & Simmons, LLP will negotiate on your behalf to secure a settlement that truly reflects the extent of your injuries and losses.

Accepting the first offer from an insurer might lead to inadequate compensation, potentially leaving you to shoulder ongoing medical or repair costs alone. Our commitment is to thoroughly assess each offer, leveraging our negotiation skills to pursue the best possible outcome for your financial recovery.

How Do I Prove Negligence in My Personal Injury Case?

Proving negligence involves demonstrating that the responsible party failed to act with reasonable care, directly causing your injury. Our skilled lawyers gather crucial evidence, consult experts, and construct detailed arguments to establish negligence convincingly.

This process often involves coordinating complex investigations, reconstructing accident scenes, and engaging with expert witnesses who can provide pivotal insights. Our robust strategy aims to paint a comprehensive picture of the negligence involved, making your case as compelling as possible in court or settlement discussions.
