Collinsville Personal Injury Lawyer — Representing Clients in Texas

How much is my personal injury case worth? Determining value depends on medical bills, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering, and the strength of liability evidence. We assess all economic and non-economic losses to estimate a case value. Can I still recover if I was partly at fault? Texas uses comparative fault rules that reduce recovery based on your percentage of fault. Even if you share responsibility, you may recover a portion of damages, and we can help evaluate how fault allocations may affect your claim.

In most personal injury cases, the statute of limitations in Texas is two years from the date of the injury. Certain circumstances, such as claims against government entities, may have shorter or different deadlines. Because deadlines can bar your claim permanently, it is important to consult promptly so time-sensitive steps, like evidence preservation and filing, can be completed on schedule.

Insurers may cover medical bills if liability is clear and a settlement is reached. However, insurers often dispute the severity of injuries or attempt to limit payments, which is why documentation and advocacy are important. We help coordinate with medical providers and negotiate with insurers to address outstanding bills and liens as part of the settlement process when possible.

Many personal injury claims settle before trial through negotiation. Settlement can provide timely compensation without the expense and uncertainty of court. If a fair settlement is not offered, filing suit and preparing for trial may be necessary to obtain appropriate compensation, and we will discuss the likely benefits and risks of litigation with you.

Case timelines vary based on injury severity, treatment duration, and complexity of liability. Some claims resolve in a few months, while others with serious injuries or disputed liability can take a year or more. We set expectations based on the specific facts of your claim and work to move your case efficiently while protecting your recovery interests.

Seek medical attention, report the incident to the appropriate authorities or property owners, and collect contact information for witnesses and other involved parties. Take photos of the scene and your injuries when it is safe to do so. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers without legal guidance and keep a careful record of medical visits and expenses to support any future claim.

Medical liens and bills may be deducted from your settlement unless negotiated with providers. We work to identify liens early and negotiate with medical providers and lienholders to preserve your net recovery. Resolving liens properly ensures that you receive the largest possible portion of any settlement for your own needs and future care.

Many personal injury firms, including ours, handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning fees are collected only from a recovery. We will explain our fee arrangement and any potential costs during an initial consultation. Clients are not required to pay attorney fees out of pocket while the case is pending, which helps ensure access to representation regardless of immediate financial resources.
