Anthony Personal Injury Lawyer — Texas Representation

Seek medical attention as soon as possible after an injury. Prompt treatment protects your health and creates a medical record that supports your claim. Document the scene, exchange information with other parties, and report the incident to the proper authorities. Preserving evidence and getting legal advice early helps protect your rights.

In Texas, the deadline to file most personal injury lawsuits is typically two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline can bar your right to pursue a claim. Certain exceptions may apply depending on the facts, so it’s important to consult promptly to determine how the law applies to your situation.

Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations with insurers rather than going to trial. Settlements can provide timely compensation without the expense of litigation. If negotiations do not produce a fair outcome, we prepare for trial to present your case to a judge or jury and seek the recovery you deserve.

Fault is established by evaluating evidence such as police reports, witness statements, photos, accident reconstructions, and medical records. The goal is to show that another party’s conduct caused your injuries. Texas follows a comparative fault rule, which may reduce recoverable damages if the injured person shares responsibility. Accurate evidence and legal advocacy are important to minimize any apportionment of fault.

Potential compensation includes payment for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. In some cases, future medical needs and diminished earning capacity are also recoverable. The exact amount depends on the severity of injuries, the strength of liability evidence, and the documentation of your losses. A careful valuation is essential to pursue full compensation.

Our firm typically handles personal injury matters on a contingency fee basis, meaning you generally do not pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This arrangement helps make representation accessible. There may still be litigation costs or expenses advanced during the case, and these are discussed transparently during your initial consultation so you understand how fees and costs are handled.

Bring any accident reports, medical records, bills, photographs of the scene or injuries, and contact information for witnesses if available. These materials help us evaluate the claim efficiently. If you have correspondence from an insurance company, bring those documents as well. Early review of relevant records enables accurate advice on next steps.

Yes. Under Texas law, you may still recover damages even if you share some fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Courts and insurers consider all evidence to allocate fault appropriately. Effectively presenting evidence and minimizing assigned fault are important tasks during negotiations or litigation to protect the value of your claim.

Resolution time varies widely based on the complexity of injuries, the need for ongoing medical treatment, and the willingness of insurers to negotiate. Some claims settle in a few months, while others take longer if litigation is required. We provide realistic timelines based on your case facts and keep you informed of progress so you can make well-informed decisions throughout the process.
