San Diego Personal Injury Lawyer — Texas Representation

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? The general statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits in Texas is two years from the date of the injury. Certain circumstances can extend or shorten that period, so prompt evaluation is important. If you delay, you risk losing the right to pursue your claim in court. Contact our office soon after your injury so we can determine applicable deadlines and take steps to preserve your claim.

You may seek damages for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. The amount depends on the severity of injuries and the strength of liability evidence. Each case is different, so we assess your case specifics to estimate potential recovery and explain which damages are most likely to be recoverable under Texas law.

Many cases are resolved through negotiation and settlement with the insurer without going to trial. Settlements can provide faster resolution and reduce risk for both sides. If settlement efforts fail, filing suit may be necessary to pursue fair compensation. We prepare each case for litigation to preserve leverage in negotiations and protect your rights in court.

Yes. Posts, photos, or comments about your injury or activities can be used by insurers to challenge your claim. It's best to avoid discussing case details online. Limit social media activity related to the incident and consult our office for guidance on safe communication while your claim is pending.

Medical providers may bill you directly, and insurers may reimburse certain expenses depending on coverage and case outcomes. Documenting all treatment is essential to support a claim for medical damages. We can help coordinate with providers, ensure bills are included in demand materials, and pursue reimbursement or negotiation as part of your overall claim strategy.

When insurers dispute liability, we investigate accident details, obtain witness statements, and gather evidence to strengthen your position. We also evaluate all available legal theories to pursue recovery. If disputes persist, litigation may be necessary to resolve liability and recover damages. We prepare the case to proceed through discovery and, if needed, trial to assert your claims.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule that can reduce your recovery in proportion to your percentage of fault. If you are more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover damages. We analyze the facts to limit your assigned fault where possible and structure the case to support the strongest possible recovery under Texas law.

Resolution time varies based on injury severity, complexity of liability, and insurer cooperation. Some claims settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more if litigation is required. We provide realistic timelines during the case evaluation and keep you informed of progress so you can make decisions with clear expectations.

We typically handle personal injury claims on a contingency-fee basis, meaning fees are paid from any recovery and there is no upfront cost for most clients. We will explain the fee arrangement during the initial consultation. You will receive a clear written agreement outlining fees and costs so you understand how expenses and compensation are handled throughout the case.

Contact our office by phone at (713) 780-1633 or through the online contact form to schedule a case review. Provide basic details about the incident and your injuries so we can begin an initial assessment. After the review, we will outline recommended next steps, explain timelines, and, if you choose to proceed, start preserving evidence and communicating with insurers on your behalf.
