Filing an Allen Texas construction accident lawsuit is one of the few ways to get proper compensation in some cases. In an ideal world, the at-fault construction company and their insurance agency would pay injured victims the compensation they deserve after a severe accident, but this often doesn’t happen. These big companies are interested in protecting their profits and will attempt to convince victims to settle for less than they are owed.

If you find yourself checking the majority of boxes listed below, you likely qualify for a lawsuit.

• You are suffering from severe injuries that have resulted in costly hospital visits and possibly long-term care
• Liability, or who is at fault for the accident, is unclear or being disputed
• The insurance company and/or construction company is trying to downplay your injuries and undervalue your claim
• You have little knowledge of the judicial system but want to explore your legal options

While it is not required that you hire an Allen TX attorney to represent you in a lawsuit, it is highly advised. A legal professional has the skill and knowledge needed to navigate your case and secure the maximum compensation you are eligible for. Our trusted lawyers at Carabin Shaw understand the ins and outs of these complex cases, which involve expertise about state and federal laws and regulations, including, but not limited to:

• The Move Over/Slow Down Law, which states that drivers must either move over or slow down to 20mph when near some construction zones.
• Work Zone Speed Limits, which are set by The Texas Department of Transportation, are lower than the normal speed limit and failure to adhere to the signs can result in a serious accident.
• Traffic Control Devices, which establishes standards in traffic control devices and signs.

If you are looking to sue a construction company in Allen TX for their negligence in causing your injuries, Carabin Shaw is here for you.

The four stages of a lawsuit include:

1. Pleading - when you file a lawsuit and declare why you are doing so.
2. Discovery - when both sides provide the evidence they are using to support their case.
3. Motions - when both sides make motions to the court to have something omitted, delay the procedures, etc.
4. Trial - when both sides go before a judge or jury and plead their case if a settlement is unable to be reached outside of court.

In each stage, specific protocols must be followed and deadlines must be met. If these are not adhered to, your case may be dismissed. This is yet another reason why an experienced attorney is vital to have on your side during the process of pursuing justice.

It is normal to worry about the cost involved with lawsuits. At Carabin Shaw, we elevate some of that worry and some of that cost. In addition to a free initial consultation, we also offer our services on a contingency-fee basis, which means you don’t pay us unless we win.
