  1. CRIMINAL DEFENSE LITIGATION Imagine a scenario where a drunk driver causes an accident that leaves you seriously injured. While you pursue a personal injury claim to recover compensation for your medical expenses and lost wages, the drunk driver might also face criminal charges like DUI or reckless driving. Here’s how criminal defense litigation can intertwine with your personal injury case: Evidence Sharing: The criminal case against the at-fault party can generate evidence highly relevant to your personal injury claim. It might include police reports, witness statements, or blood alcohol content (BAC) readings. Skilled Texas personal injury lawyers can leverage this evidence to strengthen your case and establish the defendant’s negligence.

  2. Plea Bargains: The criminal defense attorney representing the at-fault party might attempt to negotiate a plea bargain. It could involve pleading guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence. However, such plea bargains might not explicitly acknowledge civil liability, which could impact your personal injury claim. Your Texas personal injury lawyers need to be aware of any plea bargain negotiations to ensure your rights are protected. Admissions of Guilt: Statements made by the at-fault party during their criminal defense can be crucial in your personal injury case. Admissions of guilt regarding intoxication or reckless driving can significantly strengthen your claim of negligence. However, a skilled criminal defense attorney will advise their client to avoid making any statements that could be used against them in the civil case. The interplay between criminal defense and personal injury law can be intricate. Here are some key considerations:

  3. Coordination and Communication: While separate legal teams represent you in each case, effective communication and coordination are paramount. Your personal injury lawyer should be aware of developments in the criminal case and vice versa. Confidentiality Concerns: Information shared with your personal injury lawyer is typically protected by attorney- client privilege. However, this might not apply to information disclosed during criminal proceedings. Always consult with your attorneys regarding confidentiality concerns. 713.338.2262 440 Louisiana St Ste 900, Houston, TX 77002 www.goinslaw.com
