Tyler Personal Injury Lawyer
Accidents happen every day in Tyler – at work, at home, in the car, boating on the lake – you name it and an accident has probably happened there. When incidents like this occur and injuries are suffered, someone must be held accountable, and the injured party must receive the help he needs to recover from his injuries. At Grossman Law Offices, we specialize in doing just that. We are a Personal Injury law firm who prides itself on really listening to our clients and working diligently to help make them “whole” again. We’ve been doing it for 23 years and have a long successful track record to show for it. We’ve won thousands of cases and millions of dollars for our clients, and are extremely well-versed on the ins and outs of Personal Injury Law.
A Personal Injury is a physical or mental injury to a person, as opposed to property damage. To win a Personal Injury case in court, you must show that the defendant negligently (recklessly) failed to keep an obligation not to harm you, and that that failure caused you injury and loss. For instance, if you were out driving and another driver ran a stoplight and hit your car, sending you to the hospital with a broken leg, you would have a Personal Injury case. You could show that he was negligent (careless, reckless) in running the stoplight, and that that negligence broke the obligation he owed you to keep a “proper lookout” and stop for a red light. You could also show that you were injured (broken leg) and suffered loss (medical bills and possible time off work, etc.).

Although 90% of all our Personal Injury cases are settled out of court, we are prepared for trial even at the settlement phase of your claim. We find that defendants are much more willing to meet our demands when they see what we have prepared for them should we go to court. If your case does proceed to trial, we will be well prepared for that as well. We have our own in-house trial prep team and the latest graphics and technology available to enable our attorneys to present your case as clearly and convincingly as possible. We also have significant financial resources and relationships with credible experts including doctors, engineers, investigators, inspectors, life planners, psychologists and vocational experts to allow us to gather and preserve all necessary evidence and win you the recovery you need for losses like:
- Lost Wages
- Medical Costs
- Disability
- Pain & Suffering (Physical, Mental & Emotional)
- Funeral and Burial Costs
- Disfigurement
- Loss of Companionship
- Loss of Household Services
- Lost Future Wages
- Future Medical Costs
What Can I Recover For My Injuries?
The money awarded for these kinds of losses is called Damages. There are two kinds of Damages in a Personal Injury case: Compensatory (Money/Pecuniary) and Punitive (Money/Exemplary). Compensatory Damages can be Special or General. Special Damages are for tangible, economic losses like medical bills and lost income that are easily quantified. General Damages are not as easy to calculate. They are for intangible, non-economic things like a disabled person’s ability to work in the future, or what medical care will be needed over a lifetime for a progressive Traumatic Brain Injury. Our experience and expert contacts allow us to measure these General Damages and get you the maximum recovery. Punitive Damages are more rare and are awarded to punish the defendant and send a pubic message about his behavior. We will seek these as well.
The Statute of Limitations for filing most Personal Injury suits is one to two years from the time of the accident, so don’t hesitate to call us toll-free and let us put our experience to work for you. We recently won $2,000,000 for one of our clients, and we give each case the same diligent effort and attention. We will come to you for a free initial consultation if you prefer – at your home, office, or even the hospital. We have a 24-hour emergency response team, and our attorneys are available to their clients night and day for any questions and concerns. We only get paid if we win your case, so call today if you’ve suffered a personal injury, and let’s get started.
