How We Prove Liability
Back injury claims require MRI or CT imaging to document the structural damage and correlate it with the accident. Insurance companies often argue that back problems are preexisting or degenerative rather than caused by the accident. Medical experts who can distinguish between age related changes and acute traumatic injury are essential for overcoming this defense and connecting the accident to the current condition.
Texas Legal Framework
Texas follows the "eggshell plaintiff" rule, meaning a defendant takes the plaintiff as they find them, including any preexisting spinal conditions that were aggravated by the accident. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code allows recovery for past and future medical expenses, including surgery, injections, physical therapy, and pain management. The collateral source rule under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 41.0105 limits recovery of medical expenses to amounts actually paid or incurred.
Rear end collisions are the most common type of car accident in Texas, and the injuries they cause are often more serious than people expect. From whiplash to herniated discs to traumatic brain injuries, the forces generated in a rear end crash can cause lasting damage even at low speeds.
A spinal cord injury from a car accident can change your life in an instant. The medical costs alone can reach millions of dollars over a lifetime. Texas law allows you to recover compensation for all of your losses, but building a strong case requires understanding the medical and legal complexities involved.
Delaying medical treatment after a car accident can destroy your personal injury claim. Insurance companies will use any gap in treatment to argue that you were not seriously hurt. Getting prompt, consistent care protects both your health and your legal rights.
At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
