Von Ormy Personal Injury Lawyer — Texas Representation

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? In most situations, Texas law requires that personal injury lawsuits be filed within two years from the date of injury. There are exceptions for certain circumstances, so it is important to consult promptly to preserve your rights. What should I bring to a consultation? Bring any medical records, police or accident reports, photos of the scene or injuries, and correspondence with insurers. These documents help evaluate liability and damages and allow us to advise on next steps.

Many personal injury claims resolve through negotiation and settlement without a trial. However, if negotiations do not achieve fair compensation, filing a lawsuit and going to court may be necessary. We prepare every case as if it could go to trial, which strengthens negotiation leverage. Going to trial ensures your claim is fully presented and that unresolved disputes about liability or damages can be decided by a judge or jury.

Settlement amounts consider economic losses like medical bills and lost wages, along with non-economic damages such as pain and suffering and any future care needs. We document expenses and consult medical providers to estimate future treatment costs. The goal is to ensure the settlement reflects the total impact of the injury on your life and finances.

We often handle personal injury matters on a contingency arrangement, meaning there are no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Any case-specific costs or billing details will be explained before work begins.

Texas applies comparative fault principles that can reduce recovery if you share responsibility. A partial fault finding does not automatically bar recovery, but it may reduce the settlement amount. We assess the facts and present evidence to minimize any percentage of fault assigned to you under Texas law.

The timeline varies depending on case complexity, severity of injuries, and how quickly medical treatment concludes. Some claims settle within months, while others take longer if litigation becomes necessary. We provide realistic timelines after reviewing your medical records and the specifics of your case.
