Car Accident Injury Overview

Car accident injuries can range in severity from minor cuts and bruises to life-altering conditions. Common injuries include:

  • Whiplash: Often caused by sudden stops, leading to neck pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
  • Concussions: Result from head impacts, causing headaches, dizziness, and cognitive issues.
  • Head injuries: traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) with symptoms like memory loss, skull fractures requiring surgery, and contusions causing localized bleeding, swelling, and headaches.
  • Fractures: Broken bones from the impact, which may require surgery or extended recovery time.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains, strains, and torn ligaments that can cause pain and limited movement.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Severe injuries that may lead to paralysis or long-term disabilities.

Victims may also experience fractures, soft tissue injuries, and spinal cord damage, which can result in long-term disabilities. It's essential for individuals involved in car accidents to seek medical attention promptly, even if injuries seem minor, as some conditions may not manifest symptoms immediately. A Houston car accident injury lawyer can help victims understand their rights and seek compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

What is the Role of a Car Accident Lawyer?

When you contact our team of Houston car accident lawyers after an accident, we begin by investigating the circumstances of your case. This includes gathering crucial evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records to build a strong foundation for your claim.

One of our primary responsibilities is negotiating with insurance companies. Victims often receive settlement offers that fail to cover their full losses. Our experienced Houston car accident lawyers understand the tactics used by insurance adjusters to lowball payouts and will fight for a fair settlement that accounts for all damages, including medical expenses, property damage, and pain and suffering.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

Many accident victims hesitate to hire a lawyer due to cost concerns. However, our Houston car accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case.

Once we secure a settlement or verdict, our fee comes from a percentage of the money recovered for you, not out of your pocket. This allows all accident victims to seek legal help, regardless of financial situation.

With our contingency fee arrangement:

  • Consultations are FREE
  • We cover all upfront costs
  • You pay no fees unless we win

Contingency fees can vary among lawyers, and we are available to discuss our fees when you contact us to schedule your FREE consultation and case review.

Common Questions About Car Accident Claims

When involved in a car accident, it's common to have many questions about the legal process and your rights. Here are some frequently asked questions:

How long will my case take in Houston courts?

The duration varies based on the complexity of the case. Settlements may resolve in months, while cases going to trial could take over a year.

What if the other driver is uninsured?

If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may still seek compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage or explore other legal options.

Can I recover compensation if I'm partially at fault?

Yes, Texas follows a 'modified comparative negligence' rule. You can recover compensation if you're less than 51% at fault, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

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

In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident claim is typically two years from the date of the accident. Failing to file within this time frame can result in losing your right to seek compensation. Consulting with an attorney promptly ensures you meet all deadlines.
