Here are some frequently asked questions about personal injury law in Texas.
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We represent clients in car accidents, workplace injuries, slip and falls, wrongful death cases, and other personal injury claims. Each case receives personalized attention, and we guide you through every stage of the legal process to secure the compensation you deserve.
What should I do after an injury?
After an injury, seek medical attention immediately and document the details of the incident. Gather photos, witness contact information, and a medical report, then contact us for a consultation. This ensures your rights are protected and helps us build a strong case on your behalf.
How much is my injury case worth?
The value of your case depends on several factors, including medical costs, lost wages, and emotional distress. During a consultation, we evaluate these aspects and provide a realistic assessment of potential compensation. Our goal is to maximize the financial recovery for your injuries.
Do I need an attorney for my injury case?
While it’s not legally required, having an experienced attorney significantly increases your chances of a successful outcome. We handle complex negotiations with insurance companies and represent your interests in court, ensuring your rights are protected every step of the way.
How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years from the date of the injury. Acting quickly ensures evidence is preserved, witnesses remain available, and your claim is filed within this legal timeframe.
What happens if the accident was partly my fault?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you’re less than 51% responsible, you may still recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to minimize your liability and maximize your recovery.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. If necessary, we’re fully equipped to present a compelling argument in court to secure the best possible outcome for your claim.
How much do you charge for personal injury cases?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if you win your case. This allows you to focus on your recovery without worrying about upfront legal fees, ensuring affordable access to high-quality representation.
