In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can eliminate your right to recover anything, regardless of how strong your case is.
You are not required to have one, but having legal representation consistently leads to better outcomes. Personal injury attorneys in Texas generally work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless they recover compensation for you. There is no financial risk to getting a consultation.
Keep it brief. Provide the basic facts if required, but do not speculate, minimize your injuries, or agree to a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney. What you say in those early conversations can be used to reduce your claim.
It depends on the complexity of the case and the severity of your injuries. Simpler claims may resolve in a few months. Cases involving serious injuries or disputed liability can take longer. The important thing is not to rush the process at the expense of a fair outcome.
Yes, in many cases. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. As long as you were not more than 50 percent responsible for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation, though the amount may be reduced based on your share of fault.
Texas has a high rate of uninsured and underinsured drivers. If you were hit by one, you may still have options through your own uninsured motorist coverage. An attorney can review your policy and identify every available source of compensation.
In most cases, no. First offers are often made before your treatment is complete, which means before anyone knows the full extent of your losses. Once you accept and sign a release, you generally cannot go back and ask for more.
Insurance companies are motivated to close claims for as little as possible. A low initial offer is standard practice, not a final word. Many factors affect your claim's true value, including the full cost of your medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An attorney can help you assess whether an offer is fair.
For your initial consultation, bring any pertinent documents related to your case. This includes medical records, police reports, insurance details, and photographs of the accident scene. These documents help us assess your situation accurately and provide you with detailed, personalized legal advice tailored to your needs.
