Tomball Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Harris County and Greater Houston

You should speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury to protect evidence and meet procedural deadlines. Early contact helps preserve witness statements, secure surveillance footage, and ensure medical documentation supports your claim. Waiting can jeopardize the strength of your case and reduce potential recovery. Discussing your situation quickly allows the firm to advise on immediate steps, such as avoiding damaging communications with insurers and documenting ongoing medical care.

We handle most personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we collect a fee only if we obtain compensation for you. This arrangement helps clients pursue claims without upfront legal bills. During the initial consultation we will explain fee percentages, possible out-of-pocket costs, and how expenses are handled if there is a recovery.

You may be able to recover economic damages such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering and emotional distress. In certain cases with particularly wrongful conduct, punitive damages may be available. The amount and type of recovery depend on the facts of your case and applicable Texas law.

Case timelines vary widely based on the severity of injuries, need for medical treatment, complexity of liability issues, and insurance cooperation. Some matters settle within months, while others require litigation that can take a year or more. We provide realistic timeline expectations after reviewing your case details and update you as the matter progresses.

Insurance adjusters often make early offers that may not fully cover current and future costs related to your injury. Before accepting any offer, consult with our firm to evaluate whether it fairly compensates you for medical expenses, lost earning capacity, and non-economic impacts. We can negotiate for improved terms or advise if litigation should be pursued.

Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule that reduces recovery by the plaintiff's percentage of fault but bars recovery if you are more than 50 percent at fault. Even if you share some responsibility, you may still recover a portion of damages. Our attorneys work to minimize fault assigned to you and document the full extent of the other party's responsibility.

Many claims are resolved through settlement negotiations without a trial, but some require filing suit and pursuing the matter in court to obtain fair compensation. We prepare each case as if it will go to trial to strengthen negotiating leverage and ensure clients are ready if litigation becomes necessary.

Yes, we work with medical providers and lienholders to address outstanding bills and negotiate reductions when possible as part of the settlement process. Coordinating medical billing can increase the net recovery for clients and simplify post-settlement distribution of funds.

We prioritize timely updates and clear explanations of developments, options, and next steps. Clients receive regular case status reports and can reach our office by phone or email for questions. We aim to make the process as transparent and manageable as possible.

Bring any accident reports, medical records, photographs of injuries or the scene, insurance information, and contact details for witnesses. These materials help us evaluate liability, damages, and the likely path forward. If you do not have everything, an initial meeting is still useful to outline steps to gather necessary documentation.
