Providing The Help You Need To Move Forward
When life takes an unexpected turn, and you find yourself injured due to someone else’s negligence, you need a knowledgeable lawyer to guide you through the legal labyrinth. Personal injury lawsuits can be complex, but they are essential in seeking justice for the wrongs you suffered, especially in the face of catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Whether you suffered harm in a serious truck accident or slipped and fell in a public place, you can trust us to help fight for the compensation you need to move forward.

We will thoroughly evaluate your case to try to help ensure that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
Frequently Asked Questions About Waco Personal Injury Claims
At Callahan & King, PLLC, we can answer any questions you have about your personal injury claim.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
Victims of a personal injury must file a claim for compensation within the statute of limitations, which puts a deadline on viable claims. In Texas, the deadline for a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the accident.
Missing this crucial deadline can prevent victims from holding liable parties responsible for their actions and recovering fair compensation for their injuries and losses. While two years may appear to be plenty of time to file a claim, building a case against negligent parties can take some time – and key pieces of evidence can be lost or destroyed over time. That makes it essential to speak to an attorney as soon as possible.
What are the key factors to know if I have a valid Waco personal injury claim?
In general, you need to show that some other party violated their duty of care to act with reasonable caution in any given situation – and that their breach of that duty caused you actual injuries and losses. You do not have to guess, however. An experienced attorney can help you evaluate your claim and better understand the options.
How does Texas’s comparative negligence law affect my personal injury case?
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule known as the 51% Bar Rule. Modified comparative negligence means that victims can recover damages even if they are partially at fault for their injuries or losses. The amount of damages a victim can receive may be reduced by their percentage of fault. In other words, a victim could recover 80% of their compensation if it is proven they are at least 20% responsible for their injuries.
However, if it is proven that a victim is more than 50% at fault for their injuries, they are barred from any financial recovery. Allowing an attorney to represent you early on in the recovery process can help you avoid unfair allocations of blame that will reduce or eliminate your compensation.
