Hardin County Personal Injury Attorney — Texas Representation

How long I have to file depends on the facts, but most personal injury lawsuits in Texas must be filed within two years from the date of injury. Exceptions may extend or shorten the deadline, so prompt consultation is important. If you wait past the deadline, you may lose the right to pursue compensation. Early action also helps preserve evidence and witness memories, which strengthens a claim.

Case value depends on the severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, and non‑economic losses like pain and suffering. Insurance policy limits and comparative fault also affect recoverable amounts. After reviewing medical records and bills, we provide a realistic estimate and explain factors that can raise or lower potential recovery.

Many cases resolve through settlement negotiations or mediation without a trial. However, if insurers refuse fair compensation, preparing for litigation ensures your claims are preserved and puts pressure on insurers to negotiate. We prepare each case as if it will go to trial to achieve the best possible outcome.

Texas follows proportionate responsibility, which reduces recoverable damages by the percentage of fault assigned to you. Even if you bear some fault, you may still recover compensation for your share of damages. We work to minimize your assigned fault and maximize your net recovery.

Seek medical treatment immediately and keep copies of all bills and records. If you lack immediate funds, we can help explore options such as medical liens, flexible billing arrangements, and coordination with your health insurance. These steps help ensure you receive care while preserving your claim for compensation.

Resolution time varies widely based on injury severity, medical recovery, and the willingness of insurers to negotiate. Minor claims can settle in months, while serious injury cases may take a year or longer if litigation becomes necessary. We provide regular updates and realistic timelines tailored to your case.

Yes. When a death results from another party's negligence, eligible family members may pursue a wrongful death or survival action under Texas law. Those claims involve distinct procedures and potential damages; we explain legal options and work to obtain compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and other losses.

If the responsible party lacks sufficient insurance, other avenues may exist such as uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your policy, third‑party claims against employers, or pursuing assets directly. We evaluate all possible recovery sources to seek full compensation.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning attorney fees come out of any recovery; you will not pay attorneys' fees if there is no recovery. Case costs such as court filing fees, expert fees, and investigation expenses may be advanced by the firm and are typically reimbursed from the recovery as agreed in the fee arrangement.
