Experienced Personal Injury Lawyers Serving Houston

In Texas, the process begins with gathering evidence related to your injury, such as medical records and accident reports. You typically have two years from the date of the injury to file your claim in the appropriate Harris County District Court or Civil Court at Law. Once filed, the case will go through discovery, negotiation, and potentially trial.

At John Doe Law Firm, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs. Our fee is contingent upon successfully recovering compensation for you, allowing you to focus on your recovery rather than legal fees. If we do not win your case, you owe us nothing.

It is crucial to collect all relevant documents, including medical records, accident reports, photographs of the scene, and witness statements. This evidence will support your claim and help establish liability. Additionally, keeping a detailed account of your injuries and treatment can be beneficial.

During the negotiation phase, our team will advocate for fair compensation based on the details of your case and the evidence gathered. We will communicate with the insurance companies involved and work to reach a settlement that reflects your injuries and losses. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to trial.

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, which means that if you are found to be partially at fault for your injury, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault and are awarded $100,000, your compensation would be reduced to $80,000. It is crucial to present strong evidence to minimize any fault attributed to you.
