Straight answers to the questions people ask most after an accident in Houston. If you don’t see yours here, call us, there’s no charge for the conversation.
You can deal with them yourself, but you’re negotiating against a company that settles claims for a living and whose goal is to pay you as little as possible. A lawyer levels that out, handles the insurer directly, and works to make sure the settlement reflects what your case is actually worth, not what the insurer wants to pay.
We work on a contingency fee. No upfront cost, and a fee only if we recover for you.
You’ll speak directly about what happened, get a straightforward read on your situation, and find out your options. There’s no cost and no obligation to move forward.
It’s best not to give a recorded statement before speaking with a lawyer. Insurance adjusters are trained to ask questions in ways that can be used to shift blame or shrink your claim.
We represent injured clients throughout Houston and the surrounding area.
In most personal injury cases, including car, truck, motorcycle, and premises liability claims, Texas law gives you two years from the date of the incident. Some situations have exceptions, which is worth discussing directly with a lawyer.
Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you’re found 50 percent or less at fault, you can still recover, with your compensation reduced by your share of the blame. If you’re found 51 percent or more at fault, you can’t recover anything. This is exactly why fighting the fault determination itself matters.
Every case is different. Value depends on factors like your medical expenses, lost income, the severity and permanence of your injuries, and who’s responsible. We look at the full picture of what the accident has cost you, today and going forward, before giving you a real answer.
It depends on the complexity of your case and whether it settles or goes to trial. Straightforward claims can resolve in months; more complex or disputed cases take longer. We’ll keep you informed at each stage either way.
Depending on your case, that can include current and future medical expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and physical impairment or disfigurement.
Get medical care right away, even if you feel fine, some injuries don’t show symptoms immediately. Document the scene if you’re able to. Get witness information. Avoid giving a recorded statement to any insurer before speaking with a lawyer.
Evidence disappears fast. Skid marks fade, vehicles get repaired or scrapped, surveillance footage gets recorded over, and witnesses’ memories fade. Getting a lawyer involved early means locking down evidence and getting ahead of the insurance company’s version of events before it becomes the only version on record.
Yes. Some injuries, like soft tissue damage, concussions, or internal injuries, don’t show symptoms immediately but can become serious without treatment. It also matters for your claim, since gaps in treatment get used against you by insurers.
Yes. Truck cases often involve more parties (the driver, the trucking company, cargo loaders, maintenance contractors), federal safety regulations that can become evidence, and companies that send investigators to the scene within hours. These cases require moving quickly and understanding a different set of rules than a standard car accident claim.
Unfortunately, insurance companies and juries sometimes approach motorcycle claims with more bias than car accident claims, assuming the rider was at fault before the facts are even reviewed. We build motorcycle cases with strong evidence specifically to counter that bias.
Possibly, and pursuing a claim doesn’t have to mean a personal conflict. Homeowner’s insurance often covers these situations, meaning your claim is against the insurance policy, not personally against someone you know.
Be careful. Do not give a recorded statement or accept any offer before talking to a lawyer. Early calls are often an attempt to lock in a low number before you know what your case is worth.
We work on a contingency fee. You pay nothing up front, and a fee only if we recover for you.
You may. Texas law can still allow you to recover even if you share some of the blame, as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault. The details matter, so it is worth a free case review.
Every case is different, and the fastest way to get a real answer about yours is a conversation, not a search. The call is free, and you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
