How a Beaumont Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help

At DK Law, we know how to navigate the legal system in Beaumont. We serve as your guide and advocate, ensuring your rights are protected throughout the legal process. We'll investigate the accident, identify liable parties, and file a claim or lawsuit seeking the compensation you need to get better. Then, we'll negotiate a settlement with the insurance company. If the other side refuses to make a fair offer, Mr. Khosravian is always prepared to take your case to trial.

Collecting Evidence

DK Law will carefully gather the evidence we need to support your claim. This may include photographs, dashcam footage, and surveillance video of the accident. We'll also interview witnesses to get firsthand accounts of how the accident occurred. For vehicle accidents, we'll review the police report, which includes the officer's interpretation of how the accident happened and a list of any traffic violations. If the injury took place at a business or apartment building, there should be an incident report that provides important details.

Identifying Liable Parties

Identifying liable parties means determining who is legally responsible for the harm you suffered. In many cases, more than one party may share liability for your injuries. For example, if you slipped and fell at a supermarket because an employee failed to post warning signs after mopping up a spill, the employee, their supervisor, and the store's owner could all be liable.

Additional examples of liable parties in a personal injury claim may include DUI drivers, drivers who violate traffic laws, property owners, property management companies, public officials, trucking companies that fail to hire qualified drivers, and delivery companies that don't provide regular maintenance and inspections to keep their vehicles safe.

Calculating Damages

Calculating damages in a personal injury claim involves evaluating the financial impact of an injury to determine the appropriate compensation. The process includes identifying direct financial costs, such as medical bills and lost wages. Damages in a personal claim also considers non-economic factors such as pain and suffering and reduced quality of life.

Negotiating Settlement Offers

Once DK Law has assessed your damages, we'll send a demand letter to the insurance companies representing liable parties. This is a formal document that details the extent of your Beaumont personal injuries and the compensation you are seeking. It includes a comprehensive account of the event, medical treatments, and other costs you've incurred. The demand letter also serves as an official notification of your intent to pursue compensation, setting the foundation for negotiations (which is the next phase in the personal injury process).

Insurance adjusters try to save money by challenging claims and downplaying the seriousness of your injuries. That's why it's so important to have an experienced personal injury like Mr. Khosravian on your side. If negotiations stall or the offer falls short, we may recommend taking the case to court to pursue a more favorable outcome.

Don't Wait | The Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury in Texas

The statute of limitations sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit. In Beaumont, the statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits is two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline can result in losing the right to seek compensation through the courts.

Understanding Negligence in a Beaumont Personal Injury Case

Negligence is defined as the failure to act as a reasonable person would in the same situation. For example, if a dog owner violates local leash laws and their pet attacks your child, they have clearly violated the duty of care. Filing a successful personal injury claim requires proof that the other party acted negligently and their behavior resulted in your injuries.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Negligence is a major cause of motor vehicle accidents in Beaumont. This includes speeding, tailgating, and failing to obey traffic laws and signals. Distracted driving is another serious hazard, which is why Texas has a hands-free law that prohibits using a handheld device while driving. Additionally, driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs—another major contributor to car accidents—impairs key driving skills, such as reflexes, coordination, depth perception, and judgment.

Motorcycle Accidents

Bicycle and motorcycle accidents pose significant risks due to the lack of protection for cyclists and riders. These accidents often result from driver negligence, such as failing to look out for motorcycles and bicycles, illegal lane changes, and unsafe turns.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors and must regularly inspect their premises to identify potential hazards and promptly address them. This responsibility extends to businesses, apartments, and private properties. Hazards that cause slip and fall injuries, for example, include wet floors, cluttered walkways, loose handrails, uneven surfaces, and inadequate lighting.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents present unique challenges due to their immense size and extended stopping distance. That's why trucking companies must only employ experienced drivers with good safe-driving records. However, negligent hiring practices by trucking companies do happen, and they often result in unqualified drivers on the road. Such drivers are more likely to cause accidents by making mistakes, such as unsafe braking techniques, that cause rollovers and jackknife accidents.

Nursing Home Abuse

It's horrifying to discover that you have entrusted your loved one to an abusive caretaker, but it happens every day in Texas. DK Law will diligently investigate cases of nursing home abuse to protect elders and seek justice for your family.

Common types of nursing home abuse include physical abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and financial abuse. Signs of elder abuse include sudden changes in mood or behavior, such as withdrawal or depression, bruising, weight loss, and lack of basic hygiene.

Bus Accidents

Several factors may contribute to a bus accident, including driver error and mechanical problems like brake failure or engine trouble. Liable parties may include private charters, public entities, school districts, and other drivers involved in the collision.

Mr. Khosravian understands the complexities of bus accident claims. We'll assess your case to determine its strength and advise you about the best way to identify all liable parties and hold them accountable for your injuries.

Product Liability

Product liability cases involve injuries that result from the use of defective or dangerous products. Manufacturers, distributors, and other parties may be liable for products that cause injuries when used as directed or for injuries caused by inadequate product warnings.

Pedestrian Accidents

A frequent cause of pedestrian injuries is when drivers refuse to yield the right of way. This can happen at crosswalks, stop signs, or traffic lights when drivers fail to see or ignore pedestrians. Drivers are legally obligated to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections. When they neglect this duty, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries.

Distracted driving, such as texting or eating while driving, also contributes significantly to these accidents. Evidence from dashcam footage, eyewitness accounts, and traffic camera recordings can be used to support claims against negligent drivers.

Construction Accidents

Construction managers and employers have the responsibility to ensure a safe working environment by adhering to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations at all times. Thus, several parties may bear liability for construction site injuries, including employers, contractors, supervisors, property owners, equipment vendors, and manufacturers of defective equipment.

Major causes of construction site injuries include:

• Building collapses
• Crane accidents
• Electrocution
• Explosions
• Falling
• Fires
• Slip-and-falls
• Struck by falling or flying objects
• Toxic chemical exposure
• Vehicle collisions

Hair Salon Injuries

Chemical burns are a significant concern in hair salons. They often arise from hair dye, bleach, or perm solutions that come in contact with the skin for too long, causing redness, blistering, or even permanent scarring. Another serious type of injury is thermal burns from hot styling tools like curling irons or straighteners, which can accidentally touch the skin or scalp. Allergic reactions from hair products containing harsh chemicals lead to itching, swelling, or rashes. Also, cuts from scissors or clippers can occur during haircuts due to improper handling.

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death occurs when a party's negligence or a wrongful act causes a person's death. Family members who are eligible to file a wrongful death claim in Texas include the spouse, children, and parents of the deceased. Compensation may cover funeral expenses, loss of income, and loss of love, companionship, and emotional support.
