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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Houston?

Call 911, document the scene with photos, exchange information with other drivers, get witness contacts, seek medical attention even if you feel fine, and contact a car accident attorney before speaking to insurance companies.

How much is my Houston car accident case worth?

Case value depends on injury severity, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and liability. Minor cases settle for $10,000-$25,000 while severe injury cases can exceed $1 million.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

Almost never. Initial offers are typically 2-3x lower than fair value. An experienced Houston car accident lawyer can negotiate significantly higher settlements.
