Questions
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Texas?
Texas law generally allows two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Timely action preserves evidence and witness testimony critical to building a strong case.
What types of compensation can injury victims recover?
Victims may seek economic damages for medical bills and lost wages, plus non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Punitive damages apply in cases of gross negligence.
How does the contingency fee arrangement work?
Clients pay no upfront fees. Legal costs are covered during litigation, with payment only occurring if we secure compensation through settlement or trial verdict.
Can I still recover damages if partially at fault?
Texas follows modified comparative fault rules. Compensation reduces by your percentage of fault, but remains available if your responsibility is 50% or less.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, collect witness information, and contact our firm before speaking with insurance companies to protect your legal rights.
