Why Texas Criminal Defense Attorneys Make The Best Injury Lawyers

In Texas, personal injury laws allow individuals hurt in accidents to seek financial recovery from those responsible. However, dealing with insurance companies and legal procedures can be a struggle. A lawyer with deep knowledge of courtroom battles and evidence collection is key to securing your desired outcome.

I am Charles T. Ganz, a founding attorney at the Law Offices of Charles T. Ganz, and I bring over 20 years of trial experience to personal injury cases. I have spent my career protecting clients in high-stakes criminal trials where their freedom was on the line. Now, I use that same determination to fight for injury victims across Houston and throughout Texas.

What Makes A Strong Personal Injury Attorney?

A top injury lawyer should have the skills and mindset to push back against powerful insurance companies. These legal qualities make my approach stand out:

• Mastering the evidence game: Collecting solid proof is the key determining legal factor in personal injury cases. I know how to track down security footage, obtain medical records, interview witnesses and work with accident reconstruction experts to build a compelling case.
• Fighting to the finish: Some lawyers may settle too soon to avoid a trial. That is not how I work. I have represented over 100 people in court, and I am fully prepared to take your case to trial if that is what it takes.
• Jury selection knowledge: Understanding how to choose a jury is an advantage many lawyers overlook. My experience in criminal defense gives me the edge in picking a jury that will see the truth in your case.
• Negotiation skills: Insurance companies do not pay easily. They try to cut settlement amounts by undervaluing injuries or shifting blame. I know their tactics and how to counter them to help ensure they take your claim seriously.

Whether you were in a car accident or injured on someone else’s property, I know how to hold the responsible party accountable and help ensure the insurance company pays what you are owed.

Building A Strong Injury Claim In Texas

If you are hurt due to someone else’s actions, you have the right to seek financial recovery. However, Texas law sets strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims. Missing this and other legal requirements could mean losing your chance to recover damages:

• Time limits apply: Texas law typically allows two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Some cases, such as those involving government entities, have even shorter deadlines.
• Insurance companies are not on your side: After an accident, an insurance adjuster may contact you with a low settlement offer. They want you to accept the offer quickly before you realize the full cost of your injuries. Do not settle without speaking to an attorney first.
• Proving fault matters: Texas follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule, meaning your compensation can be reduced if you are found partially at fault for the accident. I work to minimize any claims against you and maximize your potential recovery.
• Medical evidence is key: Proper medical documentation is essential to proving your injuries. I work with a network of medical providers, including MRI centers and surgical specialists, to help ensure you get the care you need while strengthening your case.

Even if an injury case seems straightforward, insurance companies will still look for any reason to deny or undervalue claims.
