If you’ve been involved in a car crash that left you seeking medical treatment for injuries, you may need an attorney. A skilled personal injury lawyer can help you recover damages for injuries suffered, and more importantly, reduce the complexity of the legal process for you. Very often, filing a claim for a personal injury requires significant time and paperwork. Given your focus on treating your injuries after an accident, you may be unable to concentrate on your case fully. An experienced Cypress car accident lawyer would ensure that you receive full justice while you manage your appointments with medical providers.
Regardless of whether your case is determined through negotiations or the court process, you are entitled to recover different categories of damages. Often, economic damages are given preference over other forms given their direct and objectively measurable impact on the finances of the car accident victim. Under this type of damages, you’ll be compensated for losses to which a monetary value can be calculated. For example, any money spent paying bills related to the accident should be calculated as economic damage when valuing your claims. You’ll also recover damages for:
Non-economic damages are those damages that are more subjective in nature, and will cover:
Depending on your case, you may also qualify for punitive damages. The value of punitive damages can vary depending on the case, and the amount will be at the discretion of the jury. This is because punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant for their wrongdoing, rather than making you whole again. A knowledgeable attorney can help you determine what type of compensation you could recover after an auto accident.
Sadly, car accidents happen every day. No matter how careful you are, you may find yourself in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand what is required to protect your legal rights. A majority of injury cases in Cypress today result from accidents involving cars, vans, trucks, buses, or motorcycles. Fortunately, most of these crashes are not fatal. Some of them result in “fender bender” damages and no injuries, which can be handled personally with the insurance companies. But when physical injuries arise from the accident, you need to retain the legal services of an experienced lawyer.
A legal professional can help you recover monetary compensation for the losses incurred from the car crash. If the car accident has resulted in the loss of a loved one, an attorney can help you through the grieving process. He or she will help you with filing a claim for the injury or death, therefore facilitating the recovery of damages such as medical bills, pain & suffering, physical impairment, mental anguish, lost wages, and lost earning capacity.
Normally, it’s ideal for car accident victims to retain an experienced attorney immediately after the crash. This helps protect your legal rights, especially when it comes to collecting, evaluating, and preserving important pieces of evidence. If you cannot conduct your own investigations at the time of the collision (taking photos and witness statements), the liable party may cover up for their mistakes, making it difficult for you to determine liability. To avoid any costly mistakes, it’s always a good idea to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after the crash.
There are numerous legal expectations that you must meet before, during, and after filing a claim. If not well versed with how the different rules and regulations apply in your case, you may end up making serious errors that may affect the recovery of your damages. Worse still, Texas’s statute of limitations sets a time limit on when your case must be filed. If you fail to file your claims on time, you may lose your legal rights to recover anything. So to ensure that you’re on the right side of the law and that you meet all the legal requirements, you should hire an attorney as soon as possible after you’re involved in a crash.
If you believe that your auto wreck was caused by someone else’s negligence, you should contact our Cypress car accident lawyer as soon as possible. If it’s established that your injuries were avoidable by the other driver, the liable party or person should be held accountable for all damages related to the collision. To help us review your case and advise you accordingly on the best legal options available, call our office today for a free consultation.

I Cannot say Enough Positive Things About my Experience Here!
I was injured when someone rear-ended me at a stop light and had some pretty serious damage done to my back. My medical bills started piling up after months of treatment and the other driver's insurance company was offering me a very small amount of money to settle the matter, barely enough to cover my bills. I was extremely stressed out about missing work and my credit being affected by the outstanding medical bills. I reached out to Lone Star and Mr. Paderewski about my case. Mr. Paderewski took the time to explain the legal side of my case and gave me excellent counsel handling my situation. In the end, he helped me settle my case for more than three times what my medical bills were, which saved my credit and gave me great peace of mind. I can't say enough positive things about my experience here. Thank you Lone Star and Mr. Paderewski!
