What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle all major personal injury cases including car accidents, truck collisions, motorcycle wrecks, wrongful death claims, premises liability, and catastrophic injuries.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We work on a contingency fee basis - you pay nothing upfront and only receive payment if we win your case.
What if I can't afford medical treatment?
We help clients access necessary medical care and work with providers to ensure treatment costs are addressed in your claim.
How long will my case take?
Case duration varies based on complexity, but we work efficiently to resolve claims while ensuring maximum compensation for our clients.
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault?
Texas follows modified comparative negligence - you may still recover damages if you're 50% or less at fault for the accident.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
We aggressively challenge insurance denials and have extensive experience taking cases to trial when necessary to protect client rights.
