Before You Decide
Quick answers to common questions
Most Houston personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront. They only get paid (typically 33-40%) if they win your case.
Generally, no. Initial offers are often lowball amounts. An experienced attorney can evaluate your case's true value and negotiate for fair compensation.
Texas has a 2-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. Some exceptions apply, so consult an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
Texas follows 'modified comparative fault.' You can still recover damages if you're less than 51% at fault, though your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
