Rockwall Personal Injury Lawyer in Texas

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas? In general, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Texas is two years from the date of injury. Some exceptions can extend or shorten this period, so it is important to seek legal advice promptly to protect your rights.

Yes. We handle correspondence and negotiations with insurance companies on behalf of our clients, aiming to resolve claims efficiently and fairly. Our attorneys evaluate settlement offers and advise whether an offer adequately compensates for present and future losses. If necessary, we will prepare to litigate to secure a better outcome.

Fault is established by examining evidence such as police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and vehicle damage. Texas follows comparative fault rules, which may reduce recovery if an injured person is found partially responsible. We analyze the scene and available evidence to build a clear picture of responsibility and to maximize recoverable damages under Texas law.

Recoverable damages commonly include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering. In some cases, future medical care and lost earning capacity are also recoverable. The specific damages available depend on the facts of the case and applicable Texas law, which we evaluate during case preparation.

Many personal injury claims are resolved through settlement negotiations without a trial. However, if insurers refuse to offer fair compensation, filing a lawsuit and going to court may be necessary to obtain full recovery. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure the strongest possible negotiating position and protect client interests.

Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which allows recovery as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the accident. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to minimize assigned fault and to show the other party’s responsibility so you can recover the maximum permissible amount under Texas law.
