Personal Injury Law: It's About Personal Responsibility

When you were growing up, it's likely your parents tried to teach you the importance of taking responsibility for your actions. If you broke something that belonged to a friend, for example, it was your responsibility to make a repair or buy a replacement. It was about fairness.

The flip side of accepting responsibility is holding other people accountable for their actions. Texas law says when a person or an organization acts negligently and harms someone, the responsible party must compensate the injured person.

Holding negligent parties responsible for their actions is one thing that lawyers do, and it's what we focus on at the Law Office of Greg Whitten in Allen, Texas.

Examples Of Personal Injury Lawsuits

Personal injury lawsuits can be used in a wide variety of situations, including:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Car accidents, including collisions that involve distracted driving
  • Truck accidents, including collisions that involve commercial vehicles and 18-wheelers
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Accidents that involve pedestrians
  • Premises liability accidents, which is when someone is injured on someone else's property
  • Product liability, which is when a product is defective and injures an individual

If you have been injured, we will strive to achieve the maximum compensation allowed under the law. This could include lost wages, payment of medical bills, and any pain and suffering your loved ones have experienced.

We strive to resolve every case in a timely manner, and we take cases to trial when it is in our clients' best interests.

How Much Does A Lawyer Cost?

In personal injury cases, attorneys are not paid until they win compensation for their clients. It's called working on a contingency basis. So if you have been injured, there is no cost to begin working on your case.
