Question 1

I was in a car accident. What should I do first?

Accepted Answer

Your health comes first. Seek medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. Once you're safe, contact me before speaking with insurance companies. I'll handle the paperwork, the calls, and the process from there. You take care of yourself — I'll take care of the rest.

Question 2

Do I need an attorney if the accident wasn't my fault?

Accepted Answer

Even when fault seems clear, insurance companies may still try to minimize what they pay. When I'm involved from the beginning, I can protect your rights and make sure nothing important is overlooked.

Question 3

What if the insurance company already called me?

Accepted Answer

It's common for adjusters to reach out quickly. You are not required to give a recorded statement right away. Before answering detailed questions or discussing settlement offers, speak with me. A short conversation now can prevent long-term complications.

Question 4

How much does it cost to hire you?

Accepted Answer

There are no upfront fees. I work on a contingency basis, which means you do not pay attorney's fees unless I recover compensation for you. Your consultation is free.

Question 5

What types of compensation might I be entitled to?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, future treatment costs, and property damage. I look at how the accident has affected your life as a whole — not just the immediate bills.

Question 6

What if I was partially at fault?

Accepted Answer

You may still have a case. Texas allows recovery even if you share some responsibility, as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Every situation is different, which is why I encourage you to speak with me before making assumptions.

Question 7

How long do I have to file a claim?

Accepted Answer

In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Waiting too long could prevent you from pursuing compensation. The sooner I'm involved, the better I can protect your rights.

Question 8

Will my case have to go to court?

Accepted Answer

Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, I am prepared to take further action. I'll explain each step clearly so you always understand what's happening.

Question 9

When should I contact you?

Accepted Answer

As soon as possible. Early involvement allows me to preserve evidence and handle communications properly from the start. Even if you're unsure whether you need legal help, I'm happy to talk through your situation.
