When someone else’s carelessness hurts you, the law gives you important rights. However, many people don’t know what they can do to get help. That’s why understanding your rights is the first step toward getting fair treatment. 

What Are Accident/Injury Rights? 

These rights help you get money to pay for medical bills, lost work time, and pain you’ve suffered. Furthermore, they make sure the person who hurt you takes responsibility for their actions. 

Types of Cases We Handle: 

• Car and truck accidents 

• Slip and fall injuries 

• Workplace accidents 

• Dog bite injuries 

• Medical mistakes 

• Defective product injuries 

Your Right to Compensation 

If someone else caused your injury, you shouldn’t have to pay for their mistake. Therefore, the law gives you the right to ask for money to cover your costs. This includes medical bills, lost wages, and compensation for your pain. 

Time Limits Matter 

Every state has time limits for filing injury claims. In Texas, you usually have two years. In Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas, you typically have more time. However, waiting too long can hurt your case because evidence disappears and witnesses forget. 

Don’t Let Language Be a Barrier 

Many people in our community worry about dealing with legal issues in English. However, at the Law Offices of Roderick C. White, we communicate in Spanish and understand your cultural concerns. Therefore, language will never stop you from getting the help you deserve. 

Insurance Company Tactics 

Insurance companies often try to pay as little as possible. They might call you quickly after an accident with a low offer. However, don’t accept their first offer without talking to a lawyer. Often, your case is worth much more than they want to pay. 

Common Mistakes to Avoid: 

• Waiting too long to seek help 

• Accepting the first insurance offer 

• Not getting medical treatment 

• Trying to handle the case alone
