When life takes an unexpected turn and you or a loved one is wrongfully injured, the aftermath can feel overwhelming. From medical bills piling up to dealing with insurance companies that seem to care more about their bottom line than your well-being, it’s easy to feel lost. At The Miller Law Firm, our mission is clear: we fight relentlessly to ensure justice for wrongfully injured victims in Houston.
Here’s everything you need to know about protecting your rights, securing compensation, and choosing an attorney who bites back against injustice.
What to Do Immediately After an Accident to Protect Your Rights
If you’ve been wrongfully injured in an accident, what you do next can make or break your case. Follow these critical steps to safeguard your rights:
- Seek Medical Attention
Your health is the top priority. Even if you don’t feel immediate pain, get a medical evaluation. Some injuries, such as internal trauma or whiplash, may not show symptoms right away. Plus, medical records will serve as essential evidence in your case.
- Document the Scene
Take photos or videos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Capture details like road conditions, weather, and any visible hazards. If witnesses are present, collect their names and contact information.
- Make a Police Report
A thorough police report adds credibility to your case. Make sure to explain the incident in detail to law enforcement while sticking to the facts.
- Avoid Speaking to Insurance Adjusters
Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to minimize payouts, and they may twist your words to deny or reduce your claim. Politely decline to speak with them until you’ve consulted a trusted attorney. Remember, The Texas Bulldog doesn’t roll over for insurers, and neither should you.
- Contact a Personal Injury Attorney
Don’t wait to get legal advice. The sooner you talk to an experienced Houston personal injury attorney, the sooner they can begin building your case. At The Miller Law Firm, we move fast to protect your rights and position you for maximum compensation.
The Types of Compensation Available to Injury Victims in Houston
Justice doesn’t just mean holding the negligent party accountable. It also means ensuring you’re compensated for every hardship you’ve endured. Here are some of the categories of compensation we fight to secure for our clients:
1. Medical Expenses
This includes compensation for past, current, and future medical expenses related to your injuries. From hospital stays and surgeries to physical therapy and prescription medication, we ensure nothing is overlooked.
2. Lost Wages and Earning Capacity
If your injuries forced you to miss work or impacted your ability to earn money, you deserve to be compensated for lost income. This also includes damages for future earning potential if your injuries have long-term effects.
3. Pain and Suffering
Your physical pain and emotional trauma are significant, and they deserve recognition in your settlement. We use detailed documentation and compelling arguments to quantify these damages.
4. Property Damage
If your vehicle or other personal property suffered damage in the accident, you could receive compensation to repair or replace it.
5. Punitive Damages
In cases of extreme negligence or malicious intent, you may be entitled to punitive damages. These serve as punishment for the negligent party and a deterrent to prevent similar behavior.
6. Loss of Consortium
If your injuries have impacted your relationships with your spouse or family, you may be compensated for loss of companionship or support.
At The Miller Law Firm, our goal is to make sure you receive every dollar you deserve. We don’t just stop at the surface—we dig deep to ensure the full scope of your damages is acknowledged and compensated.
