Travis County Personal Injury Lawyer — Texas Representation

An initial case review typically covers what happened, the injuries sustained, and the records needed to evaluate a claim. We explain potential legal options and any important deadlines that affect your rights. During this conversation, we also outline how we would proceed with investigation and evidence collection. If you decide to move forward, we begin gathering medical records and other documentation and contact insurers on your behalf.

In most personal injury cases in Texas, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline can prevent a lawsuit from moving forward, so prompt action is essential. Some exceptions can extend or shorten the deadline depending on case specifics, so speak with a lawyer promptly to understand the applicable timeline for your situation.

You may recover economic damages such as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and future medical needs. Non-economic damages can include payment for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. The types and amounts of recoverable damages depend on the facts of the case and applicable Texas law.

Providing basic facts to an insurer is usually necessary, but avoid making statements that admit fault or downplay your injuries. Recorded statements and early settlement offers can sometimes reduce potential recovery. It is often beneficial to consult with our office before providing detailed statements or accepting offers from insurers.

Resolution timelines vary based on injury severity, complexity, and insurer cooperation. Some cases settle within months, while others require extended negotiations or litigation and may take years. We work to resolve matters efficiently while ensuring your settlement reflects both current and future needs.

We typically handle personal injury matters on a contingency basis, meaning you do not pay attorneys’ fees unless there is a recovery. There may be small case-related expenses advanced by the firm, which are typically repaid from any settlement or judgment. We will explain fee arrangements clearly during your initial consultation.

Seek medical attention promptly and follow medical advice. If possible, document the scene with photos, get contact information for witnesses, and file an accident report if required. Preserve records and receipts for medical treatment and expenses as they will be important for any claim.

Fault is determined by examining whether a party breached a duty of care that caused the injury. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which can reduce recovery if the injured party is partially responsible. A thorough investigation helps establish the role of each involved party.

Many cases resolve through negotiation and settlement, but some require filing a lawsuit and proceeding to trial to achieve a fair outcome. We prepare each case as though it may go to trial to ensure strong evidence and legal arguments are ready if that step becomes necessary.
