A serious injury puts you in an unfamiliar position. You are suddenly the one who has to prove what happened, what it cost you, and who should pay for it, all while your body is still healing.
De La Garza Law Firm represents injured people in Mission and across Hidalgo County. Our Mission personal injury lawyer builds that proof for you and pursues the full value of your claim. Call (956) 586-6844 to schedule a free, confidential consultation.
What Sets Our Personal Injury Lawyers Apart from Other Firms?
- We have recovered millions of dollars for injured people across Texas. We dedicate the time and resources necessary to build a compelling case for each client.
- We prepare each claim from the beginning as if it will be presented to a jury. That preparation gives us leverage in negotiations, because an insurer weighing a settlement offer is also weighing what happens if we do not accept it.
- Your first case review is free and carries no obligation. You can learn where your claim stands and still decide to move forward on your own.
What Does Texas Consider a Personal Injury?
A personal injury is physical or mental harm you suffer because another party failed to act with reasonable care, acted recklessly, or acted deliberately. Most claims are based on negligence, a legal standard with four elements you have to prove:
- Duty of Care: The other party owed you a level of care, such as a driver’s obligation to watch the road or a store’s obligation to keep walkways safe.
- Breach of Duty: That party fell short of the standard.
- Causation: The breach is what led to your injury.
- Damages: You suffered measurable losses as a result.
Why You Shouldn’t Handle a Personal Injury Claim Alone
Adjusters settle personal injury claims every day. You are settling yours for the first time, usually while medicated, sore, and behind on work. A recorded statement given in that condition can be replayed months later to argue your injury was minor or existed before the accident ever happened.
De La Garza Law Firm will level that imbalance. Our attorney consults with treating physicians and other professionals to project what your recovery will actually require, gathers the evidence that ties your injuries to the incident, and takes over every conversation with the insurer. You focus on your treatment while we handle the claim.
Available Damages in a Mission Personal Injury Lawsuit
In a Texas personal injury lawsuit, you can recover two types of damages: economic, which cover your documented financial losses, and non-economic, which refer to your physical and emotional pain and suffering. Our Mission car accident lawyer will account for every loss your injury has caused and will continue to cause, such as:
- Emergency treatment, surgery, and hospitalization
- Physical therapy, medication, and future medical care
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Physical pain and mental anguish
- Physical impairment and disfigurement
Under Chapter 41 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, you may also be eligible for punitive damages, which are meant to punish the responsible party for serious misconduct. You must provide clear and convincing evidence of fraud, malice, or gross negligence to secure these damages.
