FAQs
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?
Texas law allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to compensation.
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Never accept an offer without talking to a lawyer first. Insurance companies often offer far less than your case is worth.
What if I was partially at fault for the crash?
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you were less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages, but your compensation may be reduced.
How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.
Should I talk to the insurance adjuster?
No. Anything you say can be used against you. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize claims—let your attorney handle the negotiations.
