In Texas, the general deadline for personal injury lawsuits is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline can bar your right to sue and recover damages. Certain circumstances can alter deadlines, so it is important to consult promptly to determine the applicable time limits and preserve your legal options.

Many personal injury cases settle before trial through negotiation or mediation, but some matters require court action if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Each case is different based on liability, damages, and insurance response. We prepare every case as if it could go to trial, which strengthens negotiation and ensures your claim is ready for litigation if necessary.

The timeline varies by case complexity, severity of injuries, and willingness of parties to negotiate. Some claims resolve in a few months, while others involving serious injuries or disputes can take a year or longer. Early medical treatment and prompt evidence collection often help speed resolution, but complete recovery and an accurate assessment of future needs are important for settling for the right amount.

You can pursue economic damages such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages, along with non-economic damages like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. In limited circumstances, additional damages may be available. The value of a claim depends on medical records, evidence of loss, and applicable insurance limits. We evaluate all recoverable losses to present a complete demand on your behalf.

Yes. Some injuries do not produce immediate symptoms but can worsen without treatment. A prompt medical exam documents your condition and creates the records needed to support a future claim. Follow-up care and consistent documentation of treatment and symptoms are important when proving the nature and extent of injuries during settlement or trial.

You can handle small, straightforward claims on your own, but insurers often offer lower settlements to unrepresented claimants. Handling a claim alone requires managing paperwork, deadlines, and negotiations with adjusters. For cases with significant injuries, disputed liability, or multiple parties, legal representation can help ensure you pursue all available recovery and avoid undervaluing your claim.

We typically work on a contingency-fee basis, which means no attorney fees unless we obtain a recovery for you. This structure allows many people to pursue claims without upfront legal costs. Case-related expenses may be advanced and repaid from any settlement or judgment. We explain fees and expenses clearly during the initial consultation.

If the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may have options through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or by pursuing other potentially liable parties. Each situation is different and requires careful evaluation. We review your insurance policies and available avenues for recovery to determine the best strategy for seeking compensation when primary insurance coverage is lacking.
