A serious injury can leave you facing medical bills, lost income and an uncertain recovery, often while an insurance company is already asking questions. Daspit Law Firm represents injured people in Corpus Christi, Nueces County and across South Texas. We personally manage your case from start to finish, and we offer a complimentary case consultation so you can understand your options before you decide anything.
Personal injury claims are generally based on negligence: a careless or reckless act by a person or company that causes harm. To succeed, a claim usually must show that someone owed you a duty of care, breached it, and that the breach caused your injuries and losses.
Even if you think you may be partly to blame, you may still have a claim. Texas generally follows a modified comparative fault rule, which reduces your recovery by your percentage of fault and may bar it if you are found more than 50 percent responsible.
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, although exceptions and shorter notice requirements can apply. Speaking with an attorney early helps protect your options.
The cases below are among those our firm takes on. Each page explains the issues, the damages that may be available and what to do next.
Crashes are a frequent source of serious injuries. Our car accident lawyers help drivers and passengers, and our page on car accident injuries describes common harm such as whiplash, broken bones and brain injuries. Crashes involving commercial vehicles are covered in our 18-wheeler accident guide.
Injured on the job? Many Texas employers carry workers' compensation coverage, which generally requires notice to the employer within 30 days and a claim within one year. Injuries on job sites are covered on our construction accident page.
Brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and severe burns can change a life permanently. Our catastrophic injury page explains how long-term care needs are considered in a claim.
When a doctor, drug or device causes harm, claims can be complex. See our pages on medical and pharmaceutical injuries and product liability.
Property owners may sometimes be responsible when poor security contributes to an attack. Learn more about negligent security claims.
When a loved one is lost because of another's negligence, certain family members may be able to bring a wrongful death claim. Texas law generally limits who may file, typically a spouse, children and parents, so it helps to ask an attorney early.
While no amount of money can undo an injury, a settlement or verdict can ease the financial strain. Damages vary by case, and we cannot predict a final result, but they may include:
Hospital and doctor bills, future medical care costs, loss of income and reduced future earning power.
Physical and emotional pain and suffering, disfigurement or disability, loss of enjoyment of life, and, for families, loss of consortium and companionship.
Every case is personal. We take the time to learn how an injury has changed your life, build a strategy around your facts, and keep you informed at each step. We do not hand your file to others; your case is managed personally from start to finish. We meet with clients where they can be reached, and we are available to answer your questions when you need us.
If you or someone you love was hurt because of another party's negligence, we are ready to listen. Call us today to schedule a complimentary case consultation: (888) 326-3534
Get medical care first, then document what happened with photos, names and records. Be cautious about giving recorded statements to insurers. Contact an attorney soon so evidence can be preserved and your options explained.
Daspit Law Firm offers a complimentary case consultation, so you can learn about your options before making any decision. Ask us at your consultation how fees are handled for your type of case.
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury, with exceptions for certain claims and shorter notice rules for some defendants. Because deadlines vary, contact an attorney promptly after an injury.
You may still recover compensation. Texas generally reduces damages by your share of fault and may bar recovery above 50 percent. An attorney can review how fault may be assigned in your case.
It may help to have an attorney review any offer first. Early offers may not reflect your future treatment needs, and accepting one can end your claim. Review before you sign.
All too often, accident victims are steamrolled by insurance companies determined to minimize or deny their claims. Don't let this happen to you. Hire us to fight for the compensation you deserve.
