Hockley Personal Injury Attorney in Texas

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? In Texas, there are legal deadlines known as statutes of limitations that limit how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. These deadlines can vary based on the type of claim, so it is important to seek advice promptly to preserve your rights.

Seek medical care right away and follow your provider’s treatment plan to protect your health and create a record of injuries. Collect evidence when possible, such as photos of the scene and contact information for witnesses, and avoid detailed social media posts about the incident.

Insurance may cover some or all of your medical expenses depending on the liable party, policy limits, and the facts of the claim. Insurers often investigate claims carefully, so documentation of treatment and clear communication about ongoing needs is important.

Compensation typically includes economic losses such as medical bills and lost wages, and may also include non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Calculations consider current expenses and reasonable projections for future care or income loss.

Many personal injury claims resolve through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution without a trial. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, pursuing a lawsuit and appearing in court may be necessary to obtain full compensation.

We typically discuss fee arrangements during the initial consultation and can explain how costs and payments work in your case. Our goal is to make representation accessible and to align our approach with your priorities.

Texas follows modified comparative fault rules, which can reduce recovery based on your percentage of responsibility but may still allow you to recover damages if you are not more than 50% at fault. Evaluating fault allocation is an important part of case assessment.

Medical records, photographs of injuries and the scene, witness statements, police reports, and documentation of expenses are all valuable. Timely collection and preservation of evidence strengthens your position in settlement talks or litigation.

Case timelines vary widely based on injury severity, complexity, and whether the matter settles or proceeds to trial. We provide realistic timelines after reviewing your case and keep you informed throughout the process.
