The hours and days after being injured by someone’s negligence, whether it was in a motor vehicle crash, work injury, slip and fall, dog attack, or other negligent event, are challenging and unnerving. Choosing a law firm to handle your case is not easy. When looking for a Carrollton personal injury lawyer, local knowledge and personal attention matter.

At O’Hare and Koch Law Firm, we are proud to offer:

Locally Based Legal Support

As a local firm, we have a deep understanding of the unique issues and traffic patterns on the area roads as well as the accident reporting procedures. We also have long-lasting relationships with trusted medical professionals and crash investigators whose expert services help us build strong, fact-based claims.

If the fight for your rights requires a lawsuit, we regularly work in the Denton and Dallas County Courts, so we have strong working relationships with the courts and the court staff. These local connections and our extensive experience give us invaluable insight that other firms don’t have when handling cases in the Carrollton area.

No one wants to feel like just another case number, especially after a traumatic accident. At O’Hare and Koch, we focus on the details that make your claim unique.

Whether we are preparing for settlement negotiations or a court hearing, you will be updated on the status of your claim. We are here to answer your questions and explain your options, so you are informed and empowered as your case progresses.

Contingency-Based Representation

At a time when medical bills and lost income may already be wreaking havoc on your finances, the idea of spending funds on legal assistance is too much. That’s why we work on a contingency basis. That means, when you retain us as your counsel, you don’t pay legal fees or costs unless or until we recover compensation for you.

Understanding the Monetary Value of Your Carrollton Injury Case

The value of a personal injury claim is based on the damages the injured person has experienced. Damages extend beyond the economic impact of the injury. They also cover non-economic effects, including physical pain, suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, and disabilities.

While no two personal injury cases are the same, personal injury attorneys consider some common factors to determine a claim’s value.

Injuries and Medical expenses: including emergency room care, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, and ongoing treatment
Lost wages: income lost during recovery, along with reduced earning potential
Pain and suffering: physical pain and emotional distress,
Lasting disfigurement and long-term disabilities: scarring and permanent injuries resulting from the negligence
Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Hobbies, activities, and personal experiences you can no longer fully enjoy.
Property damage: damage to vehicles and other belongings

If someone dies from their injuries, their estate and their family members may have claims for wrongful death or survival damages. These damages can include economic damages such as past medical expenses, loss of earning capacity, funeral expenses, psychological treatment, loss of advice and counsel, loss of support, and loss of inheritance.

Non-economic damage may also be recoverable, like loss of companionship and mental anguish, and in some instances, punitive damages may be recovered where the negligent conduct is egregious. To see real examples of past recoveries, view our case results.

What To Do After an Accident in Carrollton

Though filing a lawsuit is probably the last thing on anyone’s mind in the aftermath of an accident, there are steps you can take to proactively protect your rights. Here’s a quick overview so you can act quickly if you or someone you care about is hurt unexpectedly.

1. Prioritize your health and safety. Assess the scene to determine if you or anyone is injured. Seek medical care immediately, even if you feel okay. Delayed symptoms are common, especially after slips, falls, and motor vehicle accidents.

2. Document everything. If you can, photograph and video the scene, including injuries and property damage. Collect witness name and contact details. Collect name, contact information, and insurance information regarding the negligent party. Keep track of your medical visits and bills.

3. Report the incident. Make sure there is an official record of the incident by reporting it to a work supervisor, property owner, or law enforcement.

4. Speak with a lawyer. It’s wise to consult with an attorney before speaking to the insurance company. Insurance companies often prioritize their bottom line and may pressure you into accepting a quick settlement that falls far short of what your case is worth. Your attorney will not let you make that mistake.
