Sheldon Personal Injury Attorney — Harris County, Texas

Most injury claims begin with a free initial review of the facts and potential damages. During that conversation we explain options for moving forward, including documentation needed and expected timelines. If representation proceeds, we gather medical records, police reports, witness statements, and other evidence to support your claim. We then present a demand to the insurer and attempt to negotiate a fair settlement. If negotiations stall, filing a lawsuit may be necessary to pursue full recovery.

Texas law imposes a deadline called the statute of limitations for filing most personal injury lawsuits. Because the applicable deadline can vary by case type and circumstances, it is important to seek timely advice to avoid losing your right to sue. Contact the firm as soon as possible so we can assess deadlines and preserve your claim.

Many personal injury cases resolve through settlement with insurers after thorough documentation and negotiation. However, if the insurer will not offer fair compensation or liability is disputed, filing a lawsuit may be necessary. We evaluate each case individually and pursue the approach most likely to achieve a favorable result for you.

We typically handle personal injury matters on a contingency fee basis, meaning fees are charged only if we recover compensation for you. During the initial consultation we explain our fee structure, any potential costs, and what to expect so there are no surprises.

Recoverable compensation often includes past and future medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and damages for pain and suffering. The specific types and amounts depend on the nature and extent of your injuries and available insurance coverage. We assess all losses to seek full and appropriate recovery.

Insurance companies often make early offers that do not fully account for future medical needs or non-economic losses. Before accepting any offer, get a professional evaluation of your injuries and likely long-term costs. We can review offers and advise whether they are fair based on your circumstances.

Resolution time varies with case complexity, medical treatment timelines, and negotiation processes. Some claims settle within months, while others take longer to fully evaluate and resolve. We provide an estimated timeline after evaluating the facts of your case and keep you informed throughout the process.

Texas uses a comparative fault rule that can reduce recovery based on your percentage of fault. Even if you were partly responsible, you may still be eligible for compensation reduced by your share of fault. We analyze the evidence to contest undue fault allocations and protect your recovery to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Bring medical records, bills, police reports, photographs of the scene and injuries, contact information for witnesses, and any correspondence from insurers. If you do not have all documents, provide what you can and we will assist in collecting the remainder during the investigation.
