The Impact of DUI Accidents

Drunk drivers are considered to be extremely negligent and reckless individuals. Therefore, if they cause an accident in which you have suffered personal injury, they should be held responsible for your financial damages. 

Types of Injuries in Drunk Driving Collisions

  • Back sprains, strains, and other injuries
  • Spinal injuries including fractures and spinal disc or cord damage
  • Whiplash
  • Broken bones
  • Brain injuries
  • Damage to the organs
  • Burns
  • Damage to the muscles, tendons, or soft tissue
  • Paralysis 

Any property damages you have to have repaired should be covered by insurance, but litigating for the right amount can be a tricky legal battle, especially without the help of experienced personal injury lawyers on your side.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury in Burleson

What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?

In the immediate aftermath of an accident, ensuring your safety and well-being should be the top priority. Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor, as symptoms could manifest later on. It's crucial to document the scene by taking pictures and gathering contact information from any witnesses. These steps can be vital when presenting your claim to an injury lawyer in Burleson. After addressing immediate concerns, contacting your legal representative at Coontz Cochran will help you navigate your next steps and preserve your rights.

How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim?

Determining the validity of a personal injury claim involves several factors: proving the other party's negligence, showing that the negligence caused the injury, and confirming that you're suffering damages as a result. At Coontz Cochran, our injury attorney in Burleson will evaluate your situation during a free consultation. Collecting evidence, medical records, and any witness statements will assist in building a strong foundation for your claim, thereby increasing the chances of a favorable outcome.

What Types of Compensation Can I Receive?

Compensation in personal injury claims typically falls into various categories, including medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. In some instances, punitive damages may be awarded if the defendant's actions were particularly egregious. Each case is unique, and our team at Coontz Cochran will work diligently to ensure you receive fair compensation reflective of all your incurred losses and future needs.

What Is the Role of an Injury Lawyer in My Claim?

We handle all the legal complexities so you can focus on your recovery, providing thoughtful guidance on each step you need to take.

How Long Does It Take to Resolve a Personal Injury Claim?

The duration of a personal injury claim can vary depending on several elements, including the nature of the injury, the willingness of parties to negotiate, and court schedules. While some claims can be settled within a few months, others that require litigation may take a year or longer. At Coontz Cochran, we strive to expedite the process while maintaining thoroughness and diligence, ensuring you receive the justice and compensation you deserve in a timely manner.
