Cinco Ranch Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

You should seek medical care as soon as possible after an injury to address health needs and create a record linking treatment to the incident. Document the scene, keep records of expenses, and consult with the firm before speaking with insurance companies to protect your claim.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury, after which a lawsuit is typically barred. Certain circumstances can change the deadline, so it is important to discuss timing with the firm promptly to preserve your legal options.

Many cases resolve through negotiation and settlement without a trial, especially when liability is clear and damages are well-documented. When insurers refuse to offer fair compensation or liability is disputed, preparing for trial may be necessary to pursue appropriate recovery.

Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and compensation for pain and suffering. In limited situations, additional damages may be sought for long-term care needs or where the conduct of the responsible party warrants further remedies under Texas law.

The firm typically handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront attorney fees and payment is taken only if recovery is achieved. You will be informed of any costs and the fee arrangement during the initial consultation so you understand how fees and expenses are handled.

Do not accept a quick offer without consulting the firm. Early offers often fail to account for the full scope of medical needs and future costs. Allow time for treatment and a thorough assessment of damages before agreeing to any settlement to ensure it adequately addresses your losses.

Texas follows modified comparative fault, which reduces a claimant’s recovery by their percentage of fault and bars recovery if the claimant is more than 50% responsible. Even if you share some fault, you may still be eligible for compensation, so discussing the specifics of your case is important.

The timeline depends on factors like the severity of injuries, complexity of liability, and willingness of insurers to settle; some claims resolve in months, others may take longer. We aim to resolve cases efficiently while protecting client interests and ensuring any settlement fairly addresses both current and future needs.

Filing a lawsuit is sometimes necessary to preserve legal rights or encourage reasonable settlement, but many filed cases still settle before trial. If a case does go to trial, we prepare the record and represent client interests through litigation with the goal of achieving a favorable outcome.
