There are several additional questions that you should ask an attorney about your Texas dangerous drug claim.
These questions are essential so that the goals, expectations, and concerns between you and your attorney are expressed, understood, and agreed to upfront before formal drug injury representation begins.

Drug Injury Representation: Preparing for the Initial Consultation 

The 6 questions that are geared toward assessing the strength of your case.

• What are the possible outcomes and what is the most probable outcome?
• Will there be alternatives in resolving the matter, including a settlement?
• Approximately how long will it take to resolve this matter?
• Is mediation or arbitration an option in my case?
• What do you think your approach will be with case – go all the way to trial or reach an early settlement?
• What papers, records, and witnesses do you need from me to determine the strength of my case?

During the initial consultation, you can also expect the drug injury lawyer to ask you a series of questions to better assess your Texas dangerous drug claim. You should be prepared to answer these questions as honestly and frankly as possible.

Don’t be surprised if the attorney stops you often and asks for clarification on different matters relating to your claim. These questions are designed to clarify confusing points and to sort out what is legally relevant from what is only anecdotally interesting. Many of the questions will be open-ended to give you the greatest opportunity to tell your drug injury story in your own words.

Remember that the initial consultation between you and the lawyer sets the stage for the future drug injury representation. Therefore, it’s important that you feel comfortable with the attorney you choose.

When we learn to drive, most of us are taught that when we are in a car accident, we need to inform the car insurance company immediately to file a claim. While this still holds true, 1 thing that many seasoned drivers are not aware of is that the insurance adjuster who you’ll speak to isn’t focused on getting you a fair settlement.

The world of insurance, whether it be for your car, health, home or life, is a world of business – not customer advocacy. The insurance industry works in its own best interests, which often means using underhanded tactics to damage viable claims that should have settled for thousands more than victims are offered.

Common Insurance Industry Tactics Used to Harm Injury Claims

Filing a personal injury claim will involve a lot of paperwork but not your entire medical history. However, insurance companies are notorious for demanding claimants sign a medical records release allowing them access to ALL of medical records, even those unrelated to your current accident injuries.

This evidence often can give them fodder to claim your current injuries were pre-existing conditions and not caused by the accident. Other types of dangerous actions they may try to pressure you into agreeing to include giving a recorded statement without consulting an attorney.

Recorded statements are official records that you provide, usually over the phone, in which the insurance adjuster questions you about the details of the accident. Fast talk and rushed questioning can lead you to say things abruptly without considering how they may impact your claim’s integrity.

The waiting game is a big part of filing a personal injury claim, too. The insurance companies know you need money now to cover your expenses, so they’ll first try to offer you a low settlement right away, hoping you’ll agree to any money they offer. If you’re savvy, you’ll know you can get much more with an attorney’s help and to deny the offer to pursue the claim further.

That’s when they may start making up excuses to delay your claim, hoping you’ll just take whatever they offer. There’s more to insurance industry tactics besides unnecessary information requests and unfair settlement offers.

For the majority of drivers on Texas roadways, driving while intoxicated is simply not an option. Most responsible drivers understand the risks of injury or even death that are associated with getting behind the wheel after having a few drinks. Unfortunately, these safe and responsible motorists are still at risk of being injured as a result of a DWI. Often, it is the innocent victim struck by another intoxicated driver who suffers the worst injuries.

Texas DWI injuries are, unfortunately, on the rise. The following is a list of key points relating to this widespread problem.

• In Texas, if a driver’s blood alcohol concentration is .08 or above, that is considered driving under the influence. Unfortunately, many drivers fail to realize that this limit is hit after just a few drinks.

• Texas has more deaths related to drunk driving than any other state in the nation, with over 1,500 fatalities occurring annually. That amounts to approximately 45% of all annual driving related deaths statewide.

• Texas drunk driving accidents are more likely to cause devastating injuries to victims because the driver is often travelling at a high rate of speed. There is a direct correlation between the rate of speed in an accident and the severity of the injuries suffered.

• Brazoria County DWI victims are more likely to be awarded settlements by juries than victims of other traffic accidents. Juries do not view drunk drivers as sympathetic figures. There is simply no excuse for drunk driving and the devastation that it causes innocent victims.

• Victims of a Texas DWI accident have two options. They can sue either the driver or the driver’s liability insurance policy. The driver may also face criminal charges stemming from the accident.

Texas drivers who operate their motor vehicles under the influence of alcohol or drugs are more likely to cause injury due to:

• Impaired judgment
• Lack of impulse control
• Difficulty focusing
• Reduced response and reflex time
• Falling asleep behind the wheel

Knowing if you might qualify for a dangerous drug claim is best left to experienced drug injury lawyers. A drug injury caused by prescribed medication or an over-the-counter product that is linked to a drug manufacturer’s negligence may give you legal recourse in compensating for any injuries you suffered.

In Texas, a personal injury lawyer with knowledge of dangerous drug claims is worth consulting.

Steps in Pursuing a Dangerous Drug Claim

A drug injury is serious, and can even lead to death. If you are questioning whether you’ve been affected by a dangerous drug, you need to talk with your doctor. A qualified physician can assess the status of your health by performing a physical exam and running tests, if necessary. Be sure to have your doctor document the session.

A list of your symptoms or concerns should be noted, along with any recommendations from the physician as this documentation may come in handy down the road if a dangerous drug claim is pursued.

You also should check the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website. It is here that you can find out if any other reports of adverse side effects have surfaced on a particular drug.

The agency hosts a section on recalls, market withdrawals and safety alerts. Drug-related issues are posted by the FDA on this general page as well as in the specific section entitled “Drug Recall”.

Keep in mind, even if the drug you are suspecting is not listed on the FDA website, you should still talk with drug injury lawyers. A Texas personal injury lawyer may have access to information not yet published. You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss the specifics of your particular circumstances, which could qualify you for a dangerous drug claim.

Choosing Your Attorney

Does having a Christian attorney matter to you? Legal matters such as criminal matters and injuries from an accident are never a pleasant experiences and having an attorney who shares your values and beliefs may help you through the process.

It may make sense to choose an attorney who shares your faith. A Christian attorney will be able to appreciate how your case impacts your core values and beliefs.

As part of the legal process, it will be necessary to share some very private information with the person you choose to represent you. As a Christian, it may be easier to be completely open and honest with another Christian like the lawyers at the Kahn Law Firm. John & Jennifer Kahn handle themselves and treats others the way Jesus taught them.  However, they do not impose their beliefs on others. Christians and non-believers will feel comfortable being represented by the husband and wife legal team at The Kahn Law Firm.

At Your Initial Consultation

When you first meet with an attorney, you have an opportunity to determine if he or she is the right person to handle your case. At the initial consultation, it is important to ask the attorney some questions about his or her background and general approach to legal matters. From the attorney’s answers, you will get an idea of whether this is someone in whom you can place your confidence. Take time to be sure that the person who you have chosen as your legal representative will conduct himself or herself in a manner that fits in with your own values.  Non-Christian attorneys can and usually do operate in an ethical manner, however it is important to find someone who understands your priorities and concerns, and if he or she shares your faith, even better. You may feel more comfortable dealing with a person who shares your religious faith, but that is not necessarily always the case. Many factors go into selecting the right attorney.

The attorneys you choose is an important choice and can make a big difference in how your case is handled and how you are treated and respected throughout the process. Feel free to call and schedule a confidential consultation with John or Jennifer and determine if our practice is a good fit for you.
