Quanah Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Hardeman County, Texas

Most clients are concerned about cost. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency basis, so there is no fee unless we recover money for you. This arrangement covers legal fees and aligns our interests with your recovery. In addition to attorney fees, there may be case-related expenses such as filing fees or expert reports. We discuss anticipated costs up front and advance necessary expenses while handling the claim.

In most cases the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits in Texas is two years from the date of injury. Missing the deadline can bar your right to sue, so prompt action is important. There are exceptions that can extend or shorten the deadline depending on the circumstances, so contact our office early to protect your claim and preserve evidence.

Many personal injury claims resolve through negotiation and settlement, but each case is evaluated and prepared for trial as needed to obtain a fair outcome. Being prepared for court often strengthens settlement leverage. If a settlement cannot fairly compensate you, we are prepared to file suit and litigate the case, handling discovery, motions, and courtroom proceedings on your behalf.

Insurer denials can often be challenged by submitting additional medical documentation, witness statements, and legal arguments that demonstrate liability and damages. We systematically address insurer reasons for denial to pursue reconsideration or appeal. When necessary, we pursue litigation to obtain discovery and legal remedies that are not available during the initial claims process, including filing a lawsuit to secure compensation through the courts.

Compensation typically includes past and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. The severity of injuries, need for future care, and impact on daily life all factor into valuation. We gather billing records, wage documentation, and expert opinions where appropriate to present a clear picture of your losses and pursue appropriate compensation from responsible parties.

Texas follows a comparative fault system that reduces recovery by the percentage of fault attributed to the injured person. If you are found partially at fault, your potential award may be reduced accordingly. However, if you are more than 50 percent at fault you may be barred from recovery. It is important to have legal representation to argue mitigating factors and minimize assigned fault.

Ensure safety and seek medical attention for any injuries. Exchange contact and insurance information with other parties and collect names and contact details of witnesses when possible. Document the scene with photos, obtain a police report if available, and avoid making recorded statements to insurers before consulting with a lawyer to protect your legal interests.

Yes. Some injuries, such as soft tissue damage or internal injuries, may not show symptoms immediately. A medical evaluation creates a record linking treatment to the accident and protects your ability to recover for delayed symptoms. Prompt medical care also helps your legal case by providing contemporaneous documentation of injuries, treatment plans, and recommended follow-up care.

The timeline varies based on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and whether litigation is required. Some cases settle within months while others that involve litigation can take a year or longer. We aim to resolve claims efficiently while protecting your rights and ensuring compensation accounts for ongoing medical needs. We will provide realistic timelines after reviewing the specifics of your case.

Under a contingency fee arrangement you do not pay attorney fees unless there is a financial recovery. The fee is a percentage of the amount recovered, and we disclose the fee structure clearly at the outset. This approach reduces financial barriers to representation. We also explain how case costs are handled and provide transparent accounting for fees and expenses if a recovery is obtained.
