Houston Personal Injury Lawyer

If someone else's carelessness caused your injury, you likely have grounds for a claim. The core questions are who was at fault, whether their negligence caused your harm, and what your damages are, such as medical bills, lost income, and pain. A free case review is the fastest way to find out where you stand.

Nothing upfront. The firm works on contingency, meaning the fee is a percentage of what we recover. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fees. Contingency fees in Texas commonly range from about 33% to 40% depending on the case and whether it settles before or after a lawsuit is filed.

Generally two years from the date of the injury, under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 16.003. Claims against government entities can have much shorter notice deadlines. Missing the deadline usually ends the claim permanently, so it is worth acting early.

Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may step in. Texas insurers are required to offer it under the Texas Insurance Code Section 1952.101, and it is one of the first things the firm checks, because a large share of Houston drivers carry only the state minimum or nothing at all.

It depends on the severity of the injuries, whether fault is disputed, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Straightforward cases can resolve in a few months once your treatment stabilizes. Serious injury cases, disputed-liability cases, and industrial or maritime claims can take a year or more. The firm gives you an honest timeline based on your actual facts.

Depending on the case, recovery can include current and future medical bills, lost income and lost earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. In cases involving gross negligence, such as a drunk-driving crash, Texas may also allow punitive damages. Texas does not cap economic or non-economic damages in most standard injury cases.

When a death results from someone else's negligence, Texas law allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim. The damages and process differ from a standard injury case. The firm handles these matters with the seriousness they deserve and can walk your family through how they work.
