Frequently Asked Questions

How Can a Lawyer Help in My Catastrophic Injury Case?

An experienced catastrophic injury attorney will handle every aspect of your case, including assessing damages, securing expert witnesses, and advocating for you in and out of court. Having legal representation ensures your rights are protected and increases your chances of being awarded full compensation for your pain and suffering.  

At Escovar Law, APC, we handle everything from gathering evidence to negotiating settlements and, when necessary, advocating in court. We’re familiar with local courts and have developed strong working relationships with local judges in the area, allowing us to effectively manage your case and provide the guidance you need throughout the process.

What Should I Expect During the Legal Process?

From filing necessary documents to representing you in negotiations or trials, Escovar Law, APC takes a comprehensive approach to managing your case and advocating for your rights. We begin by conducting a detailed evaluation of your case and developing a customized strategy based on what we’ve uncovered. We provide realistic timelines that allow you to prepare for each stage with confidence, maintaining regular communication to ensure you are informed of every development. 

Each step of our legal process is designed to minimize stress and maximize efficiency.

Our attention to detail, collaborative planning, and steadfast advocacy are key components of our process.

Will I Have to Go to Court, or Can My Case Be Settled?

Many catastrophic injury cases are resolved through settlement without going to trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court to fight for what you deserve.

How Long Will It Take to Resolve My Case?

The timeline varies based on the complexity of your injuries and whether the case settles or goes to trial. On average, it can take several months to a few years.

What Happens if the Person Responsible Doesn’t Have Insurance or Assets?

We explore all available avenues, including uninsured motorist coverage, third-party liability, or employer responsibility if applicable. In many cases, it’s still possible to recover compensation even if the at-fault party lacks insurance or personal assets.

What Types of Compensation Can I Pursue?

We help clients pursue several types of compensation, including medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, and loss of earning capacity. You may also be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In some cases, we can also seek punitive damages if the at-fault party's actions were especially reckless or egregious.
