Personal Injury Attorney

Every personal injury claim is unique. The value depends on the facts, the evidence, and how your injuries have changed your life.

Some of the main factors that can affect the value of your case include:

• The severity of your injuries 
• The extent of your medical treatment 
• The impact on your ability to work now and in the future
• Available insurance coverage and policy limits
• Whether you share any fault for the accident

An experienced personal injury attorney can help ensure that all of these factors are fully evaluated and that your claim is supported with the strongest possible evidence.

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for both your financial and personal losses. These are known as economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages compensate you for the measurable financial costs of your accident, such as:

• Medical bills
• Lost income
• Reduced earning capacity
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket expenses

Non-economic damages cover the physical and mental impact of your injuries, including:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Mental anguish
• Physical impairment or disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Together, these damages aim to make you whole again—covering not just what you’ve lost financially, but also the personal hardships an injury can cause.

Most personal injury lawyers in Texas work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay any upfront costs, and you only owe attorney’s fees if your case is successfully resolved.

Under this arrangement, your lawyer’s payment is a percentage of the compensation recovered on your behalf. This structure allows injury victims to pursue justice and quality legal representation without financial risk.

You can also expect your initial consultation to be completely free. It’s your opportunity to learn about your rights, discuss your case, and understand your legal options before making any decisions.

In most Texas personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. This deadline, known as the statute of limitations, is strictly enforced. If you miss it, you could lose your right to compensation entirely.

However, certain circumstances can shorten or extend this time frame. For example, claims involving government entities, minors, or latent injuries may have different filing rules.

Because every situation is unique, it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. Acting quickly helps protect your rights, preserve evidence, and strengthen your claim from the start.
