Freeport Personal Injury Attorney — Texas Representation

Timing is important. In Texas, statutes of limitations limit how long you have to file a lawsuit, and delays can jeopardize your claim. Contact a firm promptly to ensure deadlines are met. Even if you are unsure about the strength of your case, a review can clarify options and next steps. An early review helps collect evidence that may be lost over time.

We typically handle personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis, which means we only collect fees if we recover money for you. This structure allows injured people to pursue claims without upfront legal bills. During your initial consultation we will explain the fee arrangement, any potential out-of-pocket costs for expert reports or litigation, and how you will receive a transparent accounting of expenses and recovery.

Many claims are resolved through negotiation and settlement with insurers, but not every case settles. If a fair settlement is not offered, we prepare to file suit and take the matter to court when necessary. We evaluate the strength of settlement offers against the time, expense, and likely outcome of litigation to advise the approach that best protects your recovery interests.

Recoverable compensation can include payment for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, property damage, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. The specific damages available depend on the facts of your case, the severity of injuries, and applicable Texas law. We assess damages carefully to present a complete valuation to insurers or the court.

Before providing a recorded statement, consider consulting with counsel. Insurers may seek statements that later limit your claim or are used to argue reduced liability. You can provide basic facts to aid an investigation, but avoid detailed, recorded answers about the extent of your injuries or admissions about how the incident occurred until you have legal guidance.

The timeline varies widely based on medical recovery, complexity of liability, the need for expert analysis, and the willingness of insurers to negotiate. Some claims resolve in months; others take a year or longer. We track progress, pursue timely discovery when needed, and aim for efficient resolution while protecting your right to full compensation for current and future losses.

Texas law applies comparative fault rules that can reduce recoverable damages if you share responsibility. If you are less than 51% at fault, you may still recover a portion of damages reduced by your percentage of fault. Determining fault often involves analyzing evidence like police reports, witness statements, and expert opinions. We investigate thoroughly to minimize any overstated allocation of fault.

Bring any medical records, bills, insurance correspondence, photos of the incident, police reports, and contact information for witnesses. If you do not have these documents, bring what you do have and we will help gather the rest. A timeline of events and a list of questions you have will make the initial meeting more productive and help us outline next steps clearly.
