Traumatic Brain Injuries 
A jolt, blow, or penetrating injury to the head, and accidents and incidents that deprive the brain of oxygen, can result in significant brain injuries that impair a person’s ability to speak, move, think, and feel. Brain injuries involve a complex and uncertain area of medicine. Recovering from a brain injury is not a straightforward or predictable process. Victims need strong support. Our team helps them obtain the compensation they need to afford the help they need.
Learn More Burn Injuries 
Any kind of injury can devastate an innocent person’s life; burns, however, are especially horrific. Whether caused by fire, chemicals, or electricity, a burn inflicts intense, long-lasting pain. Treating a severe burn frequently requires multiple agonizing surgeries and months of recovery time. Victims commonly suffer permanent physical limitations and disfigurement. The team at The Patel Firm understands the excruciating process, and massive costs, associated with recovering from severe burns, and works tirelessly to obtain compensation for burn victim clients.
Learn More Spinal Cord Injuries 
Spinal cord injuries devastate lives. Victims of these injuries, which are frequently the result of motor vehicle accidents and falls, often face life transformed. Spinal cord injuries can leave a person partially or totally paralyzed, confined to a wheelchair and in need of around-the-clock assistance with basic day-to-day activities, at least in the near-term. The medical care and life assistance spinal cord injury victims need can cost millions of dollars over a lifetime. The Patel Firm works hard to make sure those victims receive that money from the parties at fault.
Learn More Amputation Injuries 
Motor vehicle and industrial accidents often cause catastrophic injuries when a victim’s limb gets pinned or crushed under or between heavy objects. Oftentimes, doctors have no choice but to amputate the limb to save the victim’s life. Living with an amputated or non-functioning limb entails significant adjustments to one’s environment and daily activities, and requires long-term medical care, all of which cost time and money. The Patel Term aims to make sure victims of these injuries have the financial resources they need to adjust to the new normal.

Featured Corpus Christi Accident Injury Resources
The best way to learn about your Corpus Christi accident claim is to have a consultation with our attorneys. The Patel Firm lawyers can learn about the specifics of your case and offer advice that is specific to your situation. But here are some accident injury resources that we hope you find helpful.
What kind of attorney do I need for personal injury or car accidents?
A lawyer for personal injury or car accidents is a type of civil attorney. You’re not accusing someone of a crime, although a person can face criminal charges or a traffic ticket relating to events surrounding an accident. You’re seeking monetary compensation. A civil attorney who handles injury claims is the type of lawyer who can represent you in your case.
What is my injury case worth?
It depends. Generally, the more serious your injuries, and the clearer it is that another party is at fault, the more your injury case is worth. But there are several factors that can impact fault, and they may be weighed differently in different cases. Our experienced Corpus Christi lawyers can give you a personalized evaluation of what your case may be worth. Plus, we’ll explain what’s required to make the most of your claim.
How do you start a Texas injury claim?
Don’t let the insurance company or the defense fool you – talking to them about the case, even in writing, is not enough to start a Texas injury claim. They’re hoping that time will run out for you to formally file a case. To preserve your right to compensation, you must file legal documents in court. These documents summarize the basics of the claim and make your demand for compensation. Our lawyers prepare and file these documents for our clients.
What Should I Do if I’m Seriously Hurt in Corpus Christi, Texas?
An accident and injury is a stressful event. You need to know what to do. The steps that you take can not only help you personally, but they can also jump start your legal claim. Our Corpus Christi, TX car accident and personal injury lawyers explain what you should do if you’re seriously hurt.
Take care of your health first
Shortly after an accident, there may still be dangers at the accident scene. Examples are traffic and live electrical wires. Prioritize your health first. Seek medical attention for anyone who may be hurt.
Report the accident right away
Report the accident as appropriate, whether it is calling police to report an accident or telling the business owner that an accident occurred. Get copies of any incident numbers and written reports that are created.
Gather evidence about the accident
The accident scene itself is your first opportunity to gather evidence. Take photographs and videos. Gather images up close and of the larger area. Recording what people are present and how they look can be important, too. Get names and contact information for others involved and witnesses. Give this information to your lawyer to follow up.
Stay off social media
Don’t post about the accident on social media at all – even just to say that you were in an accident or that you’re okay. You may say something that hurts your case, even if you don’t realize how it possibly could at the time you say it.
Contact a Corpus Christi personal injury lawyer near you for a free case consultation
Contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Whether it’s a car accident, truck accident, slip and fall, electrical hazard, defective product, dangerous property condition or other type of incident, a lawyer can get to work right away preserving evidence. Your lawyer can advise you on next steps, including how to track losses and personal pain and suffering that may be important to case value.
The Patel Firm can consult with you at any time. We can meet you at the hospital, a rehabilitation center, virtually or in another way that is convenient for you.
How long do you have to file a lawsuit in Corpus Christi, TX?
Usually, you have two years to file a lawsuit in Corpus Christi, TX. The lawsuit doesn’t have to be done in two years. Once you file it, it can take as long as necessary. But it must be started within two years from the accident, for most personal injury claims.
The insurance company hopes that you’ll miss this deadline. But when you have a personal injury lawyer in Corpus Christi, TX or car accident lawyer in Corpus Christi, TX, you have a professional who can file your case quickly. We prepare your legal documents, determine the appropriate court to hear the case, and file your claim.
Can personal injury cases settle out of court in Corpus Christi, TX?
Yes. In fact, most personal injury cases settle out of court in Corpus Christi, TX. That’s why our car accident and personal injury lawyers work with dedication on your case. By building a strong claim, and being willing to take your case to trial, if necessary, we put you in a strong bargaining position.
