Leon Valley Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Bexar County, Texas

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? In most cases, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. Acting quickly protects your ability to preserve evidence and meet deadlines. What should I do immediately after an accident? Seek medical care, document the scene, collect contact information for witnesses, and avoid discussing blame. Contact our office to review the incident and preserve important evidence.

Insurance may cover many medical expenses, but settlements can fall short of total costs, including future treatment. We assess the full scope of medical needs and pursue compensation that accounts for ongoing care. Coordinating medical billing and insurance claims helps prevent disputes over payment and supports the financial recovery you need while focusing on healing.

Not every minor collision requires legal representation, but even seemingly small injuries can lead to long-term consequences. A lawyer can evaluate whether a settlement adequately covers all present and future needs. If fault is contested or insurance offers a quick payment that seems low, legal review protects your right to full compensation and prevents costly mistakes.

Fault is determined by examining evidence such as police reports, witness statements, photographs, and traffic laws applicable to the collision. Comparative fault rules may reduce recovery if you share responsibility. We analyze fault-related evidence to build a clear account of what happened and advocate for a fair allocation of responsibility based on the facts.

Yes, Texas applies modified comparative fault that allows recovery if you are less than 51% responsible. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. We evaluate contributory factors and seek to minimize any assigned fault to preserve as much recovery as possible for your losses.

Recoverable damages typically include past and future medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering and diminished quality of life. We calculate both economic and non-economic losses to pursue a settlement or verdict that addresses the full impact of your injury.

Resolution time varies by case complexity, the severity of injuries, and whether negotiations lead to settlement or the matter proceeds to litigation. Some claims settle in months while others take longer. We provide realistic timelines after reviewing case facts and keep you informed about progress and options at every stage.

Avoid admitting fault, speculating about injuries, or giving a recorded statement without legal advice. Insurers may use statements to reduce claim value. Provide factual information about the incident, seek medical care, and consult our office before accepting offers or signing releases.

We commonly work on a contingency basis, meaning fees are collected as a percentage of the recovery only if we obtain compensation for you. This aligns our interests with achieving the best outcome. We explain fee structures and any costs upfront during the initial consultation so you can make an informed decision about representation.
