Scurry County, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

More information would be needed to determine whether you have a viable claim against your landlord,  your neighbor, or someone else. Most of the time, for you to have a valid claim against someone, you need to point to something specific that the person did that was wrong or you need to point to an agreement that you had with that person. Neighbor: If, for example, your neighbor fell asleep with a cigarette, you may have a claim. However, if someone broke into the neighbor’s property and set the fire, you may not have a claim against the neighbor. Your landlord: Based on the information you have provided, it's hard to see how your landlord would be at fault, so you are unlikely to have a claim against your landlord unless your landlord was somehow at fault for causing the fire or if your lease says the landlord would be responsible for damage to your property. Your landlord’s insurance would only pay if the landlord is legally at fault. Other people: If the fire was caused by a faulty equipment that your neighbor was using, then you may have a claim against the manufacturer of the equipment. If you had insurance, then you may have a claim against your insurance carrier.   There are many possible ways to approach this situation based on other information.

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.
