Iraan Personal Injury Attorney in Texas

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? In general, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits in Texas is two years from the date of the injury. Some exceptions can extend or shorten that period depending on the circumstances, so it is important to get timely legal advice to avoid missing critical deadlines.

Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor, and obtain a copy of any medical records. If possible, document the scene with photos, gather witness names, and exchange insurance information with other parties involved. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters without consulting a lawyer, and keep a record of all bills, wage losses, and communications related to the incident to support a future claim.

Many personal injury cases resolve through settlement with insurers, but some disputes over liability or damages require filing suit and proceeding to trial. The decision to take a case to trial depends on the strength of the evidence, settlement offers, and the client’s goals. Your attorney will explain the likely outcomes, costs, and risks of litigation and only proceed to trial if it is necessary to pursue fair compensation.

Claim value depends on medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and non‑economic losses like pain and suffering. Each claim is unique and requires careful documentation to calculate a fair value. A preliminary assessment can be provided after reviewing medical records and bills, but a complete valuation often becomes clearer as treatment progresses and future needs are evaluated.

An apology does not automatically resolve legal responsibility or ensure full compensation for injuries and losses. Insurance companies may still dispute fault or limit payouts based on the extent of documented damages. A lawyer can protect your interests by preserving evidence, documenting injuries, and negotiating with insurers to seek appropriate compensation even when there has been an admission at the scene.

You should seek medical treatment promptly; in some cases, health insurance, auto medical payments coverage, or provider arrangements can cover immediate costs. We can advise on options for managing medical bills during a claim. Medical liens and negotiations with providers are common parts of case resolution, and a legal team can help coordinate payment arrangements and ensure medical records fully support your claim.

Contingency fee arrangements mean the attorney’s fee is taken as a percentage of the recovery, so clients typically do not pay attorney fees upfront. If there is no recovery, most contingency arrangements mean the client owes no attorney fee. We will explain how fees, costs, and reimbursements are handled in writing before accepting a case so you understand the financial terms of representation.

Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule where a plaintiff’s recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault. If you are 50% or less at fault, you may still recover damages reduced by your share of responsibility. An attorney can help evaluate liability issues and present evidence to minimize your attributed fault to preserve maximum recovery.

Compensatory damages typically include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and non‑economic losses such as pain and suffering. In rare cases involving particularly wrongful conduct, additional damages may be available under Texas law. Recovery depends on proven losses and the legal basis for the claim; thorough documentation of expenses and effects on daily life strengthens the case for full compensation.
