General Personal Injury Questions
Do I really need a personal injury lawyer after an accident?
If you were injured, it’s always smart to talk to an attorney before speaking with insurance companies. A lawyer helps protect your rights, avoid costly mistakes, and pursue full compensation.
What if my injuries seem minor? Should I still call a lawyer?
Yes. Many injuries start small but worsen over time. Even soft tissue injuries can lead to lasting pain, missed work, and unexpected medical costs. Big or small, every injury case deserves attention.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
You pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win compensation for you. No fee unless we win.
Will I work directly with Aaron Godsey?
Yes. You will always have direct access to your attorney, not a case manager or call center.
What compensation can I recover after an accident?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, future treatment, and other accident-related losses.

Questions About Specific Accident Types
What should I do after a car accident in Arlington or DFW?
- Get medical care right away, even for minor injuries.
- Call the police and request a report.
- Take photos of the vehicles, injuries, and crash scene.
- Do not give recorded statements to insurance adjusters.
- Contact an attorney before accepting any settlement.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

Insurance and Legal Process Questions
Should I accept a quick settlement from the insurance company?
Be cautious. Early offers are often far less than your case is worth. Speak with a lawyer before accepting any settlement.
How long does a personal injury case take?
The timeline depends on the severity of the injuries, the insurance process, and whether litigation is necessary. Some cases resolve quickly, while others take longer.
Will my case go to court?
Most cases settle without trial, but we prepare every case for court so you are protected if litigation becomes necessary.
What if I cannot afford medical treatment while my case is pending?
We may be able to help connect you with medical providers who treat injury patients with payment deferred until the case is resolved.
What does a personal injury attorney do for me?
We investigate the accident, gather evidence, handle insurance communication, calculate full damages, and fight for the recovery you deserve.
