Golden Rules to Make a Successful Personal Injury Claim in Texas

Auto accidents happen every day in Fort Worth. Many times they do not have a good outcome. If you have been involved in a wreck it is always advisable to visit a doctor in order to properly determine the extent of your injuries. But where do you go from there? Chances are unexpected bills are piling up as a result of the crash: medical bills, rental car bills, repair bills - not to mention the prospect of lost wages due to your injuries.

Anderson Law Firm offers free consultations to personal injury victims just like you. Every day we hear from people who are considering accepting an insurance company's settlement offer when in reality they should be receiving 20 to 30 times more. Far too often people decide against hiring an attorney and decide to represent themselves. This is nearly always a critical mistake. People who decide to deal directly with insurance companies themselves are unable to remain objective and often fall prey to high emotional turmoil and the insurance company's manipulation.

So why do people continue to chose to go that route?

Sometimes people think by going it alone they will receive more compensation in the end. This is rarely the case. Anderson Law Firm does not charge a fee unless your case wins. Attorney Mark Anderson has 20 years experience as a Personal Injury Lawyer in Fort Worth. He knows how to deal with insurance companies to get the compensation his clients deserve - always far more than they would get on their own.

There are 3 main reasons why you should never attempt to deal with insurance companies yourself:
  • If you wait too long, it's too late. Texas has a 2 years statute of limitations. This means that you have 2 years from the date of your claim in which to file a claim. If you wait too long, no lawyer can help you.
  • Insurance companies are tricky. At the end of the day they are running a business and are working to make a profit. If you sign any documents from the insurance company without seeking proper legal consul you might be signing away your rights to the claim you deserve.
  • More often than not, working with an attorney often means a bigger settlement - more money for you to help with your medical bills, loss of income and pain and suffering you have endured.

Anderson Law Firm has been representing victims of catastrophic accidents, motorcycle accidents, semi-truck accidents, and child injuries since 1991 with a successful track record. Mark A. Anderson is a Board Certified Lawyer and has numerous testimonials about his work. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car wreck due to the negligence of someone else, please contact the Anderson Law Firm in Fort Worth at 817-294-1900 or fill out our contact card online.
