Cypress Personal Injury Attorney Serving Harris County, Texas

Cost is typically handled on a contingency fee basis, so most clients do not pay upfront attorney fees. We only receive a fee if there is a recovery in the case. If there are court costs or other expenses, we will explain how those are handled and whether they are advanced by the firm and repaid from any recovery.

Case duration depends on the severity of injuries, the complexity of liability issues, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Simple claims can resolve in a few months, while more complex matters may take a year or longer. We provide regular updates and an estimated timeline after reviewing your medical records and claim specifics so you know what to expect during each phase of the case.

You may recover economic damages such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages can include pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In certain cases, punitive damages may be available when conduct is especially reckless, though those require a higher legal standard and are awarded less frequently.

Many cases are resolved through settlement negotiations with insurers, avoiding the time and expense of trial. A negotiated settlement can provide timely compensation without court involvement. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, filing a lawsuit and going to trial may be necessary to obtain appropriate compensation. We prepare each case for litigation if needed.

Texas applies comparative fault rules, which can reduce your recovery by the percentage of fault attributed to you. You may still recover damages if you are less than 51% responsible, though the award is reduced proportionately. We review the facts to present evidence that minimizes your assigned fault and supports your claim for damages despite shared responsibility issues.

Case value depends on medical expenses, lost income, severity of injuries, future care needs, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Each claim is unique, so value varies widely. After reviewing your records and the facts of the incident, we provide an assessment of likely ranges for settlement and potential trial recovery based on comparable cases.

Medical bills are your responsibility as they accrue, but we can help coordinate billing and negotiate with providers.
