Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

First, ensure your safety and call 911 if anyone is injured. Exchange information with the other driver, take photos of the scene and damages, gather witness contact information, and seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Then, contact a car accident attorney before speaking with insurance companies.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, it's crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?

If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can help you explore all available options.

How much is my car accident case worth?

The value of your case depends on factors including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the circumstances of the accident. We provide free case evaluations to help you understand your potential recovery.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

No. Insurance companies often make low initial offers hoping you'll accept before understanding the full extent of your damages. Always consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
