Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
When the negligence or recklessness of another causes serious injury, the incident, in legal terms, is referred to as a personal injury. Both property damage and personal injuries, ranging from minor to catastrophic arise from a wide variety of accidents.
If you are involved in an accident and suffer serious injuries or when someone dies as a result of the accident, a lawyer is essential to protect your rights. In fact, you should retain legal counsel before you speak to anyone.
At Byrd Davis Furman, our law firm began pioneering personal injury law in Austin and Central Texas nearly 50 years ago. Our unique perspective and in-depth involvement with developing law as well as our resources for case preparation enable us to develop winning strategies for our clients.
When you retain the legal services of Byrd Davis Furman, our personal injury attorneys immediately begin an investigation of the circumstances surrounding your accident, including who is at fault, if there is an uninsured or under insured party involved, the extent of your injuries, pain and suffering and whether or not there is any third party responsibility. After evaluating your case, our attorneys will recommend the best approach to resolve your personal injury claim.
A large percentage of personal injury claims are settled through negotiation with the defendant’s insurance claims adjuster, through arbitration or in mediation. While our attorneys make every effort to settle claims out of court, we are always prepared to go to trial. When necessary, you can count on the skills of our trial attorneys to seek the maximum compensation to which you are entitled for medical expenses, pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement and lost wages, where applicable.
