Redland Personal Injury Attorney — Texas Representation

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas? The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in Texas is two years from the date of injury, though exceptions can apply depending on circumstances and the defendant. It is important to consult promptly to preserve your rights and allow time for investigation and filing when necessary.

Injury victims may recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Damages are based on the nature of the injuries, treatment needs, and impact on daily life.

Many cases resolve through negotiation with insurers, but some disputes require filing a lawsuit and pursuing litigation. We prepare each case for trial while pursuing settlement options that meet your needs.

Settlement values reflect medical costs, lost income, future care needs, and the severity of injuries. Evidence, liability issues, and insurance limits also influence the final amount.

Most personal injury matters are handled on a contingency basis, meaning fees are taken from any recovery rather than paid upfront. We discuss fee arrangements and costs during the initial consultation.

Case duration depends on the complexity of injuries, the need for treatment, and the negotiation or litigation timeline. Some claims resolve in months, while others requiring litigation can take longer.

Seek medical attention immediately, document injuries and the scene if possible, exchange contact information with other parties, and contact our office before providing recorded statements to insurers. Early documentation strengthens your claim.

Texas follows modified comparative fault, which may reduce recovery if you share responsibility. You can often still recover damages if your percentage of fault does not exceed the legal threshold, but amounts will be adjusted accordingly.

Proving fault involves gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, photographs, surveillance, and expert opinions when needed. We assemble documentation that supports the claim of negligence.

If available insurance is insufficient, other avenues may include uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or third-party claims. We evaluate all potential sources of recovery to maximize compensation.
