Robertson County Personal Injury Lawyer — Texas

After an accident, seek medical attention immediately and preserve any evidence such as photos, contact information for witnesses, and relevant documents. Prompt treatment both protects your health and creates a record that supports your claim. Reach out to legal counsel for an early case review to understand deadlines and legal options. Early involvement allows for timely investigation and helps protect your right to compensation under Texas law.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. Missing this deadline can bar your ability to file a lawsuit in court. There are limited exceptions that may extend or shorten that period depending on specific circumstances, so consult with an attorney promptly to confirm applicable deadlines for your case.

Compensation can include payment for medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and damages for pain and suffering. In certain cases, other recoverable losses may be available depending on the facts of the claim. Each case is unique, and evaluating the full scope of damages requires a review of medical records, employment impact, and long-term care needs to estimate a fair recovery amount.

Many personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation and settlement with insurers without a trial. Settlement can provide a timely resolution and avoid the uncertainty of court. However, if negotiations do not produce a fair result, filing a lawsuit and proceeding to trial may be necessary to pursue full compensation. We prepare every case with litigation readiness in mind.

Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning the lawyer’s fee is a percentage of any recovery and you typically pay no upfront legal fees. If there is no recovery, you usually owe no attorney fee. There may still be case-related expenses such as filing fees or costs for expert reports; these are typically advanced by the firm and reimbursed from any settlement or award, but terms should be confirmed in an engagement agreement.

Yes. Insurance companies for the at-fault party will often contact injured persons to investigate claims and may make settlement offers. It is important to communicate carefully, as early statements can affect claim value. Having legal representation ensures that insurer communications are handled strategically and that settlement offers are evaluated in light of your full medical needs and long-term losses.

Critical evidence includes medical records and bills, witness statements, photos of the scene and injuries, police reports, and any surveillance or vehicle damage documentation. These materials support causation and damages claims. Timely collection and preservation of evidence improves the strength of a claim. We work to gather and protect evidence early to build a clear factual record for negotiation or litigation.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule that reduces recoverable damages by your percentage of fault, and if you are more than 50 percent responsible, you may be barred from recovery. Even if you share some fault, you may still be able to recover compensation. A thorough review of the facts can help clarify how fault may affect your case and potential recovery.

Case timelines vary widely based on the severity of injuries, complexity of liability, and willingness of insurers to negotiate. Some claims resolve in months, while others may take a year or more to reach fair resolution. We prioritize efficient case handling while collecting the evidence and medical documentation needed to support a full valuation of damages and pursue the best possible outcome.

Bring any medical records or bills you have, photos of the incident and injuries, police reports, insurance information, and notes about the accident and contacts for potential witnesses. This information helps evaluate your claim quickly. If you do not have all documents, please still schedule a consultation; we can gather records and investigate on your behalf after we begin representation.
