Questions
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Texas?
Texas law allows two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars recovery, though exceptions exist for cases involving minors or delayed injury discovery.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
Baumgartner Law Firm operates on a contingency fee basis with no upfront costs. Fees typically range from 33-40% of recovered compensation, ensuring access to legal representation regardless of financial situation.
What types of damages can I recover after an accident?
Victims may recover economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering). Punitive damages apply in cases of gross negligence, with compensation amounts determined by injury severity and liability evidence.
How long will my case take to resolve?
Case duration varies from months to years depending on complexity. Simple cases with clear liability may settle within 90 days, while complex litigation involving serious injuries or disputed liability typically takes 12-24 months.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene with photographs, exchange information with involved parties, and contact our firm before speaking with insurance companies to protect your legal rights.
Can I still recover compensation if I'm partially at fault?
Texas follows modified comparative negligence rules. You may recover damages if 50% or less at fault, with compensation reduced by your percentage of liability as determined by evidence and legal arguments.
