Getting the Help You Deserve

Brownsville & McAllen personal injury attorneys from the Duke Firm, P.C. discuss why it's important to get the professional help you deserve before accepting a lawsuit settlement.

Brownsville Personal Injury Settlements

If you are familiar with the Brownsville, TX court process you are probably aware of how long a jury verdict can take, and that many cases are settled before going to trial. If you haven’t already, you may be approached by the other party to settle out of court. Either way, you should contact an attorney who is experienced in personal litigation in Brownsville.

Do I Need a Lawyer?

Personal injury lawsuits are filed when the injury is a result of a negligent or careless party. In a lot of these cases it may be that an injury was a result of an auto accident or an improperly maintained area. If you just suffered personal injury and it was due to the negligence of someone, after seeking medical attention your next step should be to talk with a lawyer. Although direct medical costs may be covered by insurance, there may be some other indirect costs or complexities that may need to be taken in account along with the integrity of the insurance company. A consultation with a lawyer can address your concerns, and see for your specific situation if a personal injury lawsuit is the right thing to do.

Suggestions on How to Find a Lawyer

Although you already may be familiar in surfing the internet for resources, there are other methods to finding a lawyer for your personal injury.

Lawyer Referral Service - The Texas State Bar Association website (www.texasbar.com) provides a specialist who will put you in contact with an attorney to schedule a meeting. Since there are so many lawyers that may fit your needs, you may have to go through a few meetings to find the one that is ideal for you. Each consultation does cost $20 and then it is up to you and the lawyer to agree on fees if you decide to go forward with your case.

Ask your lawyer. This may sound redundant, but if you have been married, divorced or closed on a house, you probably have secured an attorney at some point. Lawyers network with other lawyers, and may have family members that have been affected by personal injury.
