Personal injury and auto accident lawsuit settlement.

by James Tim


If you have sustained injuries from an accident or have in some way suffered harm as the result of someone else's negligence, you might be entitled to monetary compensation not only for your injuries, but for other related losses you may have incurred, such as loss of work and in some instances, pain and suffering.

To note, some more common categories/types of personally injured include, but are not limited to: Industrial Accidents, Catastrophic Injuries, Toxic Torts, Nursing Home Negligence, Construction Accidents, Work Injuries, Refinery/Oil Rig Explosions, Medical Malpractice Injuries, Slip and Fall Injuries, Drug Injuries (See Drug Litigation Section), Defective Product Injuries (See Product Defects Section);

If you believe that you have suffered by a personal injury that another party was responsible for, you should contact the Houston a personal injury attorneys at Sullo & Sullo, LLP to tell them more about your case. The Houston Injury Lawyers at Sullo & Sullo, LLP can review and evaluate your case to determine whether or not pursuing Claim is in fact something you should do.

Do I have a Case/Claim?

There are two main questions to address when one is trying to make a determination as to whether or not he or she has a personal injury case/claim:

1. First, have you suffered by personally injured for which you can show compensable damages?
Compensable damages are damages that can be readily documented and accounted for, and that usually have a concrete or tangible value. Some common examples of compensable damages include, but are not limited to medical bills, lost time at work, property loss or property damage, and/or damages due to pain and suffering.
Ultimately, you can discuss the individual circumstances of your potential case with the qualified and experienced Houston Injuries Attorneys of Sullo & Sullo, LLP in order to determine if your "compensable damages" are sufficient enough to justify pursuing a personal injury claim.

2. Second, can you identify a third party who was responsible for your injuries?
You can, along with the qualified and experienced Houston Personal Injury Lawyers of Sullo & Sullo, LLP, try to make a determination if a third party was responsible for your personal injured. You can also have one of our personal injury attorneys determine if it is possible and/or likely to prove that this third party was in fact responsible for your personal injuries.

In some cases, multiple parties are responsible. In these instances, these multiple parties would simply be named in your claim. If however, your case is of such a nature that you have not only suffered personal injuries attributable to a third party, but that you yourself are also responsible to some degree, then you may be barred from recovery, or you may have your recovery amount reduced proportionally to your degree of fault in the matter. The qualified and experienced Houston Injury Attorneys at Sullo & Sullo, LLP would be able to explain to you what would be most likely in your individual case based upon your individual circumstances and the jurisdiction under which the case would fall.
