How We Help
Even when you’ve suffered extremely serious injuries in a car accident or other situation, you still need to engage in a major legal battle to obtain compensation to offset your losses and meet your needs for the future. The insurance companies representing those responsible for causing your injuries will fight your claim using every weapon in their extensive arsenal.
They might try to trick you into saying something that can allow them to shift liability onto your own shoulders. Or they might try to pressure you into accepting a settlement that is far less than you deserve. If it turns out that you need additional medical care or encounter further problems in the future, you cannot go back and ask for more money. You need to ensure that matters are settled correctly the first time.
That’s when you can count on us. We can field questions from investigators and talk to insurance companies on your behalf, preventing you from unknowingly making a statement that could harm your ability to recover. We can investigate to uncover evidence that proves the cause of your injuries, thereby strengthening your case for damages.
In addition, we can calculate the value of your claim based on economic and medical data and legal precedent. That way, you can make an informed decision about whether you want to accept a settlement offer or take your case to the judge. We are always prepared to fight in court, and we have built our reputation standing up to corporate interests in major cases involving truck accidents and other major incidents. But we work for you. We provide you with the information to make the best decisions about your future.
You Don’t Pay Unless We Win Your Case
A dedicated Friendswood personal injury lawyer can help from the very beginning of your case, right after your injury. In fact, we prefer to work with you as early as possible because that gives us the best opportunities to gather and preserve evidence while it is fresh. As time goes on, the scene of your accident will change. Witnesses can be harder to find, and their memories will start to fade. It is helpful to start gathering evidence sooner rather than later.
By helping you early on, we can also manage the interactions with insurance company investigators so that they cannot pull any of their usual tricks. This allows you to rest and focus on healing.
We work on a contingency basis, so we don’t charge hourly fees. That means it doesn’t cost you any more to work with us early on. You won’t have to pay any retainers. We will collect our fee at the end after you’ve been awarded compensation by the court or through a settlement. Our goal is to alleviate as many of your concerns as possible, including worries about paying for legal help.
Personal Injury Claims Can Be Based on Many Types of Accidents or Deliberate Actions
You may have seen lots of billboards advertising personal injury law firms with pictures of wrecked cars. That’s because car accidents are common in the Houston area, a personal injury in Friendswood will probably work with many victims of car accidents. But at DeKeyzer Law, we help those hurt in many other situations as well, including:
- Slip and fall incidents
- Truck accidents
- On-the-job injuries
- Motorcycle and bicycle accidents
- Sexual assault
- Injuries resulting from negligent security
- Railroad accidents
- Dangerous conditions on property
When the injuries cause the victim to pass away, we work with family members to recover compensation through a wrongful death claim.
While some claims, such as those based on assault, seek recovery when someone acts with the deliberate intent to cause harm, most personal injury lawsuits involve harm that occurs by accident. The person responsible didn’t mean to hurt anyone, but they failed to act with the care they should have under the circumstances, and that makes them negligent. When you’ve suffered because someone else was negligent, it is only fair to shift the burden of the consequences from your shoulders onto those of the person who caused your injuries.
DeKeyzer Law Fights for Maximum Compensation
Once we have evidence to show that another person’s negligence caused your injuries, a Friendswood personal injury lawyer at DeKeyzer Law will work to secure compensation for all the consequences of your injuries. This includes money to cover medical bills in the past and medical expenses in the future. It also includes compensation to make up for wages lost while you’ve been unable to work and amounts to cover income you may lose in the future while dealing with lingering injuries or disabilities.
The injuries disrupt your life in many painful ways, and we will fight for full compensation for these intangible losses as well. No one can put a price on health and the peace to enjoy everyday aspects of life, all of which can be taken away by accident injuries. Because these losses have such a profound effect on your life, the compensation provided is often quite substantial.
