Severely Injured by Someone Else’s Negligence? Here’s What You Might Be Facing—and How Snellings Law Can Help
Key Takeaways:
- Severe injuries aren’t always obvious right away. At Snellings Law, we work closely with medical professionals to ensure delayed symptoms are properly documented and included in your claim.
- Financial stress shouldn’t delay your care. Our team helps clients access care immediately and works to fully recover for both current and future medical needs.
- We handle the complexities, so you can focus on healing. Snellings Law takes on the heavy legal and administrative work—allowing you to focus on your recovery.
At Snellings Law, we’ve worked with countless clients across North Texas who were severely injured in car accidents through no fault of their own. What we’ve learned—and what we want every driver to know—is that the legal and medical aftermath of an accident isn’t just about bruises and broken bones. It’s about uncertainty, financial stress, and navigating a complex system while trying to heal.
Below are some of the most common challenges injured people face—and how our team at Snellings Law helps clients confront and overcome them.
Uncertainty Around Injury Severity
Not all severe injuries are immediately apparent. You might walk away from a crash thinking you’re fine. Then, you may go on to experience serious pain later from a torn ligament, herniated disc, or even internal damage.
Our Approach
We take every report of injury seriously, even when the symptoms seem minor at first. We work with doctors who know how small injuries can turn into serious problems later. By tracking your symptoms early, we build a strong case that shows the full impact of your injury, even if more issues appear over time.

Medical Expenses and Financial Stress
Hospital bills, follow-up visits, prescriptions, therapy sessions—the costs pile up quickly. For many, this financial burden becomes one of the most stressful parts of recovery.
Our Approach
We help clients seek compensation not just for immediate costs but also for ongoing and future medical care. We work with providers who accept delayed payment through legal arrangements. This helps clients access the treatment they need without overwhelming financial pressure.
Delayed Diagnosis and Treatment
It’s not uncommon for accident victims to delay care or fail to realize the seriousness of their injury until weeks or months later. This is especially true when the adrenaline of the incident masks the pain.
Our Approach
We educate our clients on the importance of a thorough medical evaluation after any accident. Our team remains flexible in supporting delayed treatment timelines. We also ensure that the legal strategy accounts for injuries that take time to fully reveal themselves.
Insurance Coverage Issues
An all-too-common scenario: the at-fault driver has little or no insurance. This often leaves severely injured victims scrambling for help.
Our Approach
We thoroughly examine every potential source of coverage. This includes your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policies. We explain your options in clear terms and help you tap into all available resources—even when it means challenging your own insurer.
Burden of Paying Out of Pocket
Paying for treatment when the accident wasn’t your fault feels unjust—and it is. But that’s often the reality without proper guidance.
Our Approach
We can use legal tools to delay payment until after your case resolves. This gives you access to critical care without draining your savings. Our goal is to make sure financial barriers don’t block your path to recovery.
Health Insurance and Subrogation
Once you receive a settlement, your health insurer may demand repayment for what they covered—a process known as subrogation. That can drastically reduce what you actually take home.
Our Approach
We proactively negotiate with health insurance companies to reduce subrogation claims. We use applicable legal arguments and statutes to preserve as much of your recovery as possible. We handle this behind the scenes so you can focus on healing, not haggling.
Negotiation and Settlement With Healthcare Providers
Hospitals sometimes inflate their charges when they know a settlement is involved. These inflated bills can eat into your recovery.
Our Approach
We work directly with providers to review, challenge, and negotiate medical bills. We are familiar with statutes that limit what providers can collect after a personal injury settlement. We leverage those statutes to protect your recovery.
Long-Term Recovery and Rehabilitation
Severe injuries don’t always end with a hospital discharge. Scarring, limited mobility, and chronic pain can linger for years—sometimes a lifetime.
Our Approach
We don’t just seek compensation for what’s happened—we also plan for what’s ahead. We factor long-term rehabilitation, therapy, and lifestyle changes into your legal claim. We make sure your settlement supports both your current and future recovery needs.
Legal and Administrative Complexity
Filing claims, gathering documentation, talking to adjusters—these processes are exhausting and confusing, especially when you’re also dealing with medical care.
Our Approach
We manage all the legal and administrative heavy lifting to make the process as smooth as possible. Our team handles everything from the insurance paperwork to collecting medical records. Our clients always know where their case stands and what comes next.
Emotional Stress
Pain, job disruption, family worries, legal deadlines—it’s a lot to carry.
Our Approach
We treat each client with compassion and respect. Our team is here to provide clarity during chaos, calm in the storm, and a trusted hand guiding you forward. We’re more than legal representatives—we’re advocates for your peace of mind.
Education and Awareness
Many people don’t learn about the value of UM/UIM insurance until it’s too late. Others don’t know how severe their injury really is—or what it could mean long term.
Our Approach
We believe in empowering our clients through education. Whether it’s helping you review your insurance policies or explaining what a “catastrophic injury” means in legal terms, we provide the tools you need to make informed decisions now and in the future.
