Finding a South Houston Personal Injury Attorney

Understanding Personal Injury Claims in South Houston

Perhaps you were on your way to work, or out running errands when out of nowhere a car runs the stoplight, slamming into the side of your car. You are left with serious injuries, perhaps unable to return to work for weeks, months, or years, dealing with financial issues as well as chronic physical pain and emotional trauma.

Your physical injuries are expected to require treatment for many months, yet the negligent driver’s insurer wants to pay you only a fraction of what your damages actually are. If you find yourself in such an untenable situation, it can be extremely beneficial to speak to a South Houston personal injury lawyer from Sullo & Sullo. We will work hard on your behalf to ensure the insurance company does not take advantage of you, paying you a full and fair settlement.

What Types of Personal Injury Claims Can Sullo & Sullo Help You With?

There are many different types of personal injury claims, but all are based on negligence. Negligence is present when the defendant acted in a way that another reasonable person would not have done given the same circumstances. Running a stop sign, exceeding the speed limit, tailgating, and failing to yield are all examples of negligence.

Where auto accidents are concerned, whenever a driver fails to follow the accepted rules of the road, or violates a traffic law or safety standard, they are considered negligent. The personal injury attorneys at Sullo & Sullo handle the following types of personal injury claims:

  • Auto accident injury claims are the most common type of personal injury claims. If you’ve suffered an auto accident injury, speaking to an auto accident lawyer in South Houston can make all the difference in the outcome of your claim. In addition to car, truck, and motorcycle accident injury claims, bicyclist and auto-pedestrian accidents also fall under auto accident injury claims.
  • Car accident injury claims encompass many different types of accidents, from high-speed collisions to texting-while-driving accidents. A car accident can be even more complex when an uninsured motorist is involved, or you are involved in a hit-and-run accident. Whether your car accident was the result of a head-on collision, a rear-end crash, or a T-bone accident, having an experienced South Houston car accident lawyer by your side can drastically alter the outcome.
  • Truck accident injury claims are particularly complex and can benefit from having the best truck accident injury lawyer advocating on your behalf. A truck wreck attorney will know how to prove liability, enabling you to obtain a full and fair settlement. The potentially liable parties in a truck accident include the truck driver, the trucking company, the loading company, the truck maintenance company, and the manufacturer of a potentially defective or dangerous truck part. Your injuries are also likely to be much more severe from a truck accident than from a car accident. After filing an 18-wheeler accident lawsuit, your truck accident injury attorney will fight for a full settlement on your behalf.
  • Motorcycle accidents, like truck accidents, tend to be much more complex than passenger vehicle accidents. Motorcyclists have virtually no protection when hit by a vehicle, other than a helmet. Because of this, they are likely to sustain very severe, even catastrophic injuries. Drivers often fail to properly look for motorcyclists, making left-hand turns in front of motorcyclists, opening a door into traffic without looking for a motorcyclist, or changing lanes without properly looking. If a claim goes to court, motorcyclists face another challenge, in that many people see motorcyclists as reckless and “hard-living.” While this is actually far from the truth, it is necessary to have a strong, highly skilled catastrophic injury lawyer to ensure you are seen as the victim in your accident.

What Damages Might You Be Entitled to Receive from a Harris County Personal Injury Claim?

Damages generally include medical expenses (current and future), lost wages, lost future wages, and pain and suffering. Medical expenses can encompass ambulance costs, surgical expenses, physician costs, prescription drug costs, and any expenses associated with rehabilitative therapies or assistive devices. If your injuries prevented you from returning to work for weeks or months, you are entitled to lost wages. If your injuries are so severe that you may never be able to return to your chosen career, you could be eligible for lost future wages.

Lost future wages are calculated based on your age, your level of education, your work history, the number of people who are currently financially dependent on you, and how your career would have likely progressed if you had not been injured. Pain and suffering cover both actual physical pain as well as emotional pain and trauma. If your injuries prevent you from performing normal day-to-day tasks or have interfered with your enjoyment of life, you are eligible for compensation.
