Professional Personal Injury Lawyers in Houston, Texas

The Crim Law Firm's staff strives to handle all cases as quickly as possible, based on the individual factors involved in each. However, each injury claim does follow a process, and takes time to evolve. We keep our injured clients informed regarding this process, encouraging a patient and cooperative attorney/client relationship that results in an atmosphere conducive to a just resolution of an injury claim.

Again, while each individual's claim differs, consider the following timeline, which roughly tracks the average process of a personal injury claim. Certain claims take substantially longer than the following depiction evidences, but the series of events for most claims is substantially similar.

Diagnosis Timeline - First and foremost, personal injury claims are just that injuries. Thus our Firm relies on competent medical care providers to properly diagnose each personal injury and fully explain an injured party's prognosis; a diagnosis and prognosis are essential to our monetary evaluation of an injured client's claim.	Litigation Timeline - Litigation is, by definition, a lawsuit including all of the proceedings involved in a legal action. It is an adversarial method of resolving a dispute. While lawyers are traditionally seen as problem-solvers and counselors, the role of the litigator or trial lawyer is to act as an advocate for his or her client’s case before judges and juries.

Thus, throughout this process, it is important that we always have a correct address and phone number for you. Please make sure that you inform us if you are going to be out of town for any length of time or plan to move. Also, remember that throughout the case, there are times when you will not hear from us regarding your case for extended periods. This is normal; due to the Court imposed deadlines regarding your case, waiting periods will frequently occur.

However, please understand that we will be working on your case throughout the entire process. We again stress that the aforementioned timelines are very general; every case “takes on a life of its own.” Your individual case may not conform to this timeline. Cases may take much longer, or even be subject to appellate issues. No matter how your individual claim or case progresses, The Crim Law Firm will be in your corner, fighting for your rights.
