PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS IN HOUSTON, TX

If you wonder how much your case may be worth, then we recommend consulting with an experienced personal injury lawyer in Houston. Your case is unique, so there is not a universal number to this question.

The value of your case is dependent on a wide range of factors and generally requires a thorough case evaluation. Even so, some of the questions we explore to determine case value include, but are not limited to:

• What is the nature and severity of your injuries? The type and extent of your injuries play a significant role in determining the value of your case. For example, severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment and have long-term or permanent effects typically result in higher compensation.
• What are your current and projected future medical costs? Medical costs may include hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and any future medical treatments necessary for your injuries.
• Have your injuries affected your ability to go to work? Consider the wages lost during your recovery period and future lost earnings if your injury affects your ability to return to work in the same capacity or at all.
• What is the extent of your pain and suffering? Pain and suffering accounts for how your injuries have impacted your overall quality of life. It may include physical pain, emotional distress, psychological impacts, disability, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.
• Did you contribute to the accident? In Texas, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault if you are partially responsible for the accident. You are barred from pursuing damages if you are more than 50 percent at fault.

At Karns & Karns Personal Injury and Accident Attorneys, our Houston personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. If we can take your case, then you will not pay any upfront fees or hourly rates.

We will front all the costs of investigating, preparing, negotiating, and litigating your case. Then, if we win your case by securing a settlement or verdict for you, our fees are a percentage of the recovery.

If we do not win your case, then you owe us nothing. We only get paid if you get paid. It is our no-fee guarantee.

Hiring a personal injury lawyer with significant experience and success in litigating cases can strengthen your position during settlement negotiations. Insurance companies know which lawyers are willing and able to take cases to trial, which can influence whether they offer fair settlements. The insurance company may not be incentivized to provide a large settlement if there is no risk that the claimant will file a lawsuit against it.

A trial-ready lawyer tells the insurance company that you are serious about obtaining full compensation and will file a lawsuit to fight for every dollar you deserve. This makes the insurance company more likely to offer a larger settlement to avoid the risk and expense of a trial.

At Karns & Karns Personal Injury Lawyers and Accident Attorneys, our Houston personal injury lawyers are not just skilled negotiators. Even though we seek to maximize a client's compensation through negotiation, we prepare every case like it is going to trial. With extensive experience and substantial courtroom verdicts under our belt, you can rest assured that we will fight for your rights, no matter the circumstance.
