What is a Sugar Land Personal Injury Claim?

Personal injuries occur when one person’s negligence results in an accident with injuries and those injuries result in damages. If you’ve been injured in an accident, you may wonder about your options and your legal rights. Filing a personal injury lawsuit can provide financial compensation for your injuries and other damages. If you are on another person’s property and a hazard on that property causes injuries to you, then the property owner is liable for those injuries.

Likewise, if a dangerous or defective product causes you harm, then the designer of the product or the manufacturer of the product may be liable for your damages. If a medical professional failed to act in a manner that another similarly trained medical professional would have done in similar circumstances, medical malpractice may have occurred. In an auto accident, when one driver fails to follow the rules of the road or traffic laws and the result of that failure is an accident, that driver is considered negligent, therefore, responsible for your injuries and damages.

Other types of personal injuries include nursing home neglect and abuse, dog bites, workplace accidents, and wrongful death. A Sugar Land personal injury attorney from Sullo & Sullo can help you establish liability, then calculate what your damages are worth. We will then negotiate with the insurance company for a full settlement. If the insurance company refuses to pay what your claim is worth, a lawsuit can be filed, and our attorneys will litigate on your behalf. Having a Sugar Land accident lawyer by your side helps ensure a fair outcome to your personal injury claim.

What Types of Fort Bend County Personal Injuries Does Sullo & Sullo Handle?

The Sugar Land accident attorneys at Sullo & Sullo primarily handle automobile accident claims. There are more than 2 million auto accidents each year across the United States. While some of those accidents may be nothing more than minor fender-benders, others can be much more severe, causing catastrophic injuries.

• Auto accident injury claims occur on a daily basis across the United States. Getting treatment for your auto accident injury can seem overwhelming, and when you must also find an experienced Sugar Land auto accident lawyer, you may not know which way to turn. The most important step you can take following an auto accident is to speak to a knowledgeable Sugar Land auto accident lawyer.
• Car accidents are often the result of an impaired driver, a distracted driver, or an overly fatigued driver. Distracted driving accidents have moved quickly up the list to become perhaps the most common type of car accident. Other types of car accidents include rear-end crashes, hit-and-run accidents, head-on collisions, high-speed collisions, T-bone accidents, and uninsured motorist accidents.
• Truck accidents often cause severe injuries to those in smaller vehicles. These catastrophic injuries could include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and disfigurement from burns and scars. Those who live through a truck accident may also have serious emotional trauma, including depression and PTSD. It is important to have an experienced Sugar Land truck accident injury attorney by your side to ensure you get the best treatment for your injuries as well as a settlement that will fully cover all your damages.
• Motorcycle accident injury claims can be more complex than two-car accidents because the motorcyclist has no protection other than a helmet. Motorcyclists can be thrown from their motorcycles when hit, sliding along pavement or gravel roads, which can cause road rash. A severe case of road rash can become infected, sometimes dangerously. Motorcyclists must also contend with the common stereotypes that they are reckless and hard living. The safest motorcyclist—even one that has taken a motorcycle training school or motorcycle safety course—has no control over a driver who fails to watch out for the smaller vehicles.

Damages You Might Expect from a Sugar Land Personal Injury Claim

While your damages will depend on the facts of your accident, as well as the extent of your injuries, most people are entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Medical expenses cover current and future medical bills related to your accident. Lost wages occur when your injuries from the accident are serious enough to prevent you from returning to work for weeks or months. If you are unable to return to work for many months, years, or ever, you will be entitled to lost future wages as well. Pain and suffering damages cover actual physical pain as well as emotional trauma and pain.

The Many Ways a Sugar Land Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help with Your Personal Injury Claim

There are many reasons to hire a personal injury attorney and virtually no good reason to try and handle your personal injury claim on your own. Well-represented individuals almost always receive a much larger settlement than those that attempt to negotiate a settlement on their own. Your personal injury attorney can do the following:

• Investigate your accident
• Prove liability
• Calculate what your injuries are worth
• Negotiate your settlement
• Litigate your settlement if the insurance company refuses to settle
• Expedite your claim
• Exhibit objectivity during the legal process
• Answer your questions and explain your options
• Help you get the medical care you need
