Woodcreek Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

How long you have to file a lawsuit in Texas depends on the type of claim but most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury date. Acting quickly is important because evidence can disappear and deadlines can restrict your options for recovery.

We operate on a contingency fee basis for most personal injury matters, which means we only charge legal fees if we obtain a recovery for you. You will not owe attorney fees from your own pocket while the case is pending, and we explain any costs and the fee arrangement during the initial consultation.

Seek medical treatment as soon as possible and follow your provider’s recommendations; timely care documents the injury and supports your claim. Collect photos, witness information, and any accident reports, and avoid providing recorded statements to insurers before speaking with a member of our team.

Many claims settle through negotiation with insurers without going to court, but some cases require litigation to achieve fair compensation. If court is necessary, we will prepare thoroughly and represent you at every stage of the process.

Case duration depends on the complexity of injuries, the willingness of insurers to settle, and whether litigation becomes necessary. Some matters resolve in a few months, while others with serious injuries or contested liability can take a year or longer; we provide realistic timelines based on your case details.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule where your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of responsibility, and a recovery may be barred if you are found more than 50% at fault. We evaluate fault carefully and work to limit any percentage attributed to you by gathering strong evidence and witness testimony.

Recoverable compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The exact categories and amounts depend on the nature of your injuries and the supporting documentation presented during the claim.

You should seek prompt medical care from a qualified provider and follow recommended treatment; continuity of care and documented records are more important than visiting a specific doctor. If specialized evaluations or ongoing care are necessary, we can help coordinate medical resources and ensure treatment records support your claim.

We provide regular updates through phone calls and email and explain developments, settlement offers, and next steps in clear terms. Clients receive timely responses to questions and access to case materials so they stay informed throughout the process.
