Frequently asked questions

No. A case review costs nothing to ask for, and independent personal injury attorneys who take these cases almost always work on contingency afterward too, meaning there's no bill unless the case actually recovers money.

You answer a short set of questions about the crash: roughly when it happened, what kind of vehicle was involved, and whether anyone was hurt. Those details get passed to an independent attorney interested in reviewing cases like yours, and they follow up directly from there.

No. Asking a question doesn't commit you to hiring anyone. You can hear what an attorney has to say about your situation and decide afterward whether it's worth moving forward.

Most work on contingency, taking a percentage of whatever the case recovers rather than an hourly rate. That percentage varies by attorney and by whether a case needs to go into a lawsuit, so it's worth asking directly and getting the number in writing before you sign anything.

Car wrecks are the core of it, but the same kind of review applies to truck crashes, motorcycle wrecks, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, and other injuries someone else's carelessness caused. If you're not sure your situation qualifies, asking costs nothing either way.

Not necessarily, though Texas does put a real deadline on filing a lawsuit over an injury claim. The sooner you ask, the more room there usually is to work with, since evidence and witness memory both fade with time.

No. This site is a free connection service, not a law office, and nobody here practices law or gives legal advice. It exists to connect people with independent attorneys who handle these kinds of cases.

It's still worth asking. Texas splits fault by percentage, and a share at 50 or under just trims your payout instead of wiping it out. Even then, whatever percentage an insurer hands you first isn't the final word, and it's worth pushing back before you accept it.
