Why should I hire a Personal Injury Attorney?

You need to level the playing field

Insurance Companies Have Experts

At-Fault Parties Might Point Fingers

You Need Time To Rest

You might be wondering what is a personal injury case, well, when you get into an accident, you’ll probably have to deal with an insurance company or two. Despite what their advertisements might say, insurers aren’t on your side. They’re in the business of making money – and that’s hard to do if they pay out on every claim that comes through the door. So, they’ll fight you and do whatever they can to stand between you and the money you deserve.

They might offer a lowball settlement with a short clock, hoping to scare you into accepting less than your case is worth. They’ll try to take advantage of the fact that they have a lot of experience handling these claims – and you likely don’t. Hiring an injury attorney after an accident can help to stop these tactics from working.

Stephens Law Firm, PLLC founder Jason Stephens has more than two decades of experience dealing with manipulative insurance companies. He knows what steps have to be taken to leverage a meaningful settlement on your behalf.

A Fort Worth personal injury attorney can stand up and protect you from these allegations. Attorney Jason Stephens can gather evidence to shift blame to others and minimize your contributions. The less fault allocated to you from your accident, the better off you’ll be.

Client Reviews

5 star rating

Our daughter was tragically taken from us, and we didn’t know where to turn but we eventually found Stephens Law Firm. I can tell you from our experience Jason and his staff (Tracy) were like finding a needle in the haystack. They handled our case very professionally and we had great communication with them. Very compassionate and caring firm. If I could give 10 plus stars, I would. We highly recommend Stephens Law Firm.

Karen & Lon Ellis

I worked with Jason and Tracy on my PI case. As a doctor, I have worked in a professional status with several PI firms, but this was my first experience where I was the injured party. Quite frankly, compared to most firms I’ve dealt with in the past, I found their responsiveness and organization excellent and very professional. Super impressed. I’m pleased overall with the outcome of my case as well, and I feel like they negotiated hard to get a fair settlement.

Heather Wright

We felt the weight lifted off our shoulders when we chose Stephens Law. Jason and Tracy are amazing and handled absolutely everything so that we could focus on what mattered most – our sons emotional and physical recovery.

Eric Martinez

You couldn’t ask for a better advocate or a more capable lawyer in the courtroom than Jason. He is passionate, committed and relentless in the pursuit of justice for his clients. And, notwithstanding how great of an attorney he is, Jason is an even better person. He truly is the best of the best.

Chris Lewis

A very professional experience. Genuinely cares about his clients and goes the extra mile to make sure their needs are met. Would recommend this firm to any of my closest friends and family.

Determining Negligence in a Personal Injury Case

Negligence means that someone has failed to use the level of care that’s required under the circumstances and, as a result, someone else has suffered an injury. In order to establish negligence, the plaintiff has to prove four things:

  • The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care
  • That duty was breached in some way
  • The defendant’s conduct has harmed the plaintiff, and
  • The plaintiff has sustained some type of injury (e.g., physical, emotional, financial).

When a plaintiff can prove each of these things (or the elements of another tort), the defendant can be ordered to pay compensation for the harm they’ve caused.

How Much Does A Personal Injury Lawyer in Fort Worth Cost?

Getting into an unexpected accident in Fort Worth can be really overwhelming. Between medical expenses, lost income, and disability, it can

also be quite costly. You might worry that you can’t afford to hire an attorney to help you pursue compensation. However, that’s not the case at Stephens Law Firm, PLLC. Jason Stephens, like most other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth, works on contingency.

Contingency means that Jason’s fee is dependent on the outcome of your case. Stephens Law Firm, PLLC only gets paid if you receive financial compensation through a settlement or verdict. When Jason wins, Stephens Law is awarded a pre-agreed upon percentage of your financial recovery. That percentage can vary, depending on the specific circumstances of your case. However, it typically ranges between 30 and 40 percent of your net award.

Texas Personal Injury Laws

There are times when more than one person will contribute to an accident. In some cases, victims are partly responsible for their own injuries. Different states handle this in different ways. Some prevent victims from recovering any compensation, at all. These are states with pure contributory fault rules. Many allow victims to recover compensation but limit how much money can be awarded, based on how much fault the victim shares. These are comparative negligence states. Texas has rules that are somewhere in the middle.

Texas is a modified comparative fault state. This means that damages are only prohibited if you share more than 50 percent of the blame for an accident. If you’re not primarily responsible, reduced damages are available. The less fault that’s assigned to you, the more money you can potentially recover.
