Travis Ranch Personal Injury Lawyer — Kaufman County, Texas

You should seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Some injuries show symptoms later, and medical records help document treatment and causation. After seeking care, contact our office for a free review so we can advise on next steps and preserve critical evidence for your claim.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline can bar your ability to seek recovery in court. There are exceptions and specific circumstances that can affect timing, so consult with our team promptly to understand deadlines relevant to your situation.

Many injury claims resolve through negotiation and settlement, but some require litigation when insurers refuse fair offers. We prepare every case as if it may go to trial to strengthen settlement leverage. We discuss the likelihood of settlement versus trial at the outset and keep you involved in major decisions so the chosen path aligns with your goals.

Our firm typically handles personal injury matters on a contingency basis, so you pay legal fees only if we recover compensation for you. This arrangement aligns our interests with achieving a successful outcome. We clearly explain fee arrangements and any case-related costs during the initial consultation so you understand potential expenses before proceeding.

Important evidence includes medical records, photographs of the scene and injuries, police or incident reports, witness statements, and documentation of lost wages and expenses. Consistent, timely records are powerful in proving damages. Our team helps locate and preserve this evidence, requests records from medical providers, and organizes documentation to present a clear and persuasive claim to insurers or a court.

Texas follows a comparative fault rule, which reduces recovery by your percentage of responsibility but does not automatically bar recovery unless you are more than 50% at fault. Your damages award may be adjusted to reflect your share of fault. We evaluate the facts carefully to argue for reduced liability or to show that the other parties bore primary responsibility, working to maximize your net recovery after any fault allocation.

Case timelines vary based on injury severity, treatment duration, and insurance responsiveness. Some matters resolve in months, while more complex claims can take a year or longer to fully conclude. We provide estimated timelines after reviewing your case and keep you updated as the matter progresses, prioritizing timely resolution while protecting your recovery interests.

If the at-fault driver has limited coverage, you may have options such as underinsured motorist coverage through your own policy or claims against other parties involved. Each option depends on policy terms and case facts. We review insurance policies and advise on the best course, including negotiating with insurers or pursuing other avenues to secure compensation for medical bills and losses.
