Borger, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

If it's a true personal injury case, you would likely be able to find an attorney who would handle the case on a contingency basis. Basically, that means if there is a monetary award, the attorney takes the agreed-upon fee out of the award, and then the remainder is used to pay medical bills (and other necessary expenses) and the balance would go to you.

Subway would not be liable for not helping you put out a fire on your vehicle. Under the law, you can see a stranger literally dying and you do not have to lift a finger to help.

You should hire a qualified and experienced injury attorney to pursue a claim for all your injuries, damages and losses caused by this drunk driver. A good injury lawyer will pursue any and all avenues of financial recovery, including her insurance and/or personal assets, any UIM insurance you may have on your insurance policy, and any restitution which may be ordered from the county which prosecutes her DUI case. An injury lawyer will also make sure all health insurance and/or medical payments coverage (this is on an auto insurance policy) covers your medical care as well. Finally, any and all sources of liability should be examined as well. For example, while she is obviously liable for most/all of the damages, there are potential other third parties who could be at fault (the bar or private party where she got drunk if applicable, roadway design, emergency personnel for not moving the vehicle or setting up cones, flashers, etc., and potential others). But yes, you should hire a personal injury attorney for this situation.
