Frequently Asked Questions

How is The Law Offices of Robert A. Lynch Jr. compensated for legal services?

Mr. Lynch works exclusively on a straight graduated contingency fee basis for all cases except workers' compensation. Workers' compensation cases are also handled on a contingency fee basis, but they are subject to special rules set down by the workers' compensation division of the Texas Department of Insurance. Put simply, Mr. Lynch contracts with clients to handle their cases on a "no recovery, no fee" basis. Mr. Lynch also advances to the client all of the costs necessary to prosecute the claim.

If a monetary recovery is obtained, Mr. Lynch charges a fee and recoups his costs from the client's recovery. If there is no monetary recovery, Mr. Lynch charges no fee or costs to the client. The client owes no money to Mr. Lynch unless compensation is successfully obtained. All risk of loss is assumed by the law office. Since all cases are different and therefore "fact dependent" it is a good idea to talk to an experienced and competent attorney as soon as possible. Contact Mr. Lynch right away to assess your claim.

Do any time limits apply to my claim?

Yes. Texas law specifies various statutes of limitations within which claims must either be settled or tried. If a case is not brought and prosecuted within the timeframe specified in the statute of limitations, an injured person may lose all rights to seek compensation for damages. The general personal injury statute of limitations in Texas is two years; the general contract statute of limitations in Texas is four years. However, there are exceptions to the general statutes, and there are specific notice requirements in certain cases which may shorten the available time to bring an action.

Take no chances-- call The Law Offices of Robert A. Lynch Jr. as soon as you believe you may have a case so we can take the appropriate action to protect your right to compensation for your injuries and damages.

What am I entitled to recover for my personal injuries?

Under Texas law, an injured claimant (except in workers' compensation cases in which statutory limits on legal elements of damage apply) is entitled to recover for property loss, medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment and physical disfigurement. Past and future provable damages are recoverable. In certain cases, an injured person's loved ones may be entitled to loss of consortium due to the injuries. Loss of quality of life may also be recoverable under certain circumstances. Each case is different, and not all damage elements apply to all cases, but the law firm strives to recover the maximum amount legally allowable for all elements of damage.
