Trial-tested representation for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians injured by negligent motorists across Texas and the Gulf Coast.
Serious crashes deserve serious representation
A serious auto crash changes everything. Medical bills stack up quickly. Time off work erodes savings. The other driver's insurance company has its own lawyers — and an interest in paying as little as possible. Our firm represents drivers, passengers, and pedestrians who have been hurt by another driver's negligence on Texas roads.
We work fast to lock down evidence, build a complete picture of every loss our client has suffered, and pursue every available source of recovery — from the at-fault driver's policy to commercial liability coverage and commercial trucking defendants when applicable.
Cases we handle
Texas auto-collision practice spans a wide range of fact patterns. We accept cases involving:
- Rear-end and chain-reaction collisions
- T-bone and intersection crashes
- Drunk-driver and impaired-driver crashes
- Hit-and-run and uninsured-motorist claims
- Rideshare (Uber, Lyft) passenger and pedestrian injuries
- Multi-vehicle pileups on I-10, I-45, and the Beltway
How we investigate
Our investigators preserve the vehicles, download event-data-recorder ("black box") information, secure 911 audio and surveillance footage, and document the scene before construction or weather erases it. For complex liability disputes, we retain accident reconstructionists and biomechanical engineers. Read our breakdown of what to do in the first 24 hours after a serious crash.
Compensation we pursue
Texas law allows recovery of past and future medical expenses, lost wages and lost earning capacity, physical pain and mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, and — in cases involving gross negligence — exemplary damages. For families who have lost a loved one, we also handle wrongful death claims under Texas law.
Why act now
Texas generally imposes a two-year statute of limitations on personal-injury claims. But the practical deadline is much sooner: surveillance footage is often overwritten in 7–30 days, witnesses move, and totaled vehicles are sold for salvage. Calling a lawyer early — even before you decide to hire one — preserves options.

Frequently Asked
Common questions about auto accidents cases
If your question isn't answered here, contact our team — every case is different, and a quick conversation costs nothing.
How long do I have to file a car-accident lawsuit in Texas?
Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003 generally gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal-injury lawsuit. Narrow exceptions exist for minors and cases involving the discovery rule, but most claims must be filed within two years or are barred. Contact us early — investigation, demand letters, and pre-suit negotiation all happen well before the deadline.
What if I was partly at fault for the crash?
Texas follows a modified comparative-fault rule. If you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover, but your damages are reduced by your share of the fault. If you are 51% or more at fault, you are barred from recovery. Comparative fault is heavily contested by defense lawyers and is one of the main reasons early evidence preservation matters so much.
Should I give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company?
No. You are not required to give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurance carrier, and doing so before you understand the full extent of your injuries almost never helps you. Adjusters are trained to ask questions designed to lock you into damaging admissions. You can — and should — report the crash to your own insurer, but decline recorded statements to anyone else's carrier until you've spoken with a lawyer.
How is the value of a Texas auto-accident case calculated?
Case value generally turns on three factors: liability (how clearly the other driver was at fault), damages (medical bills, lost income, future care needs, and non-economic harm), and available insurance coverage. Catastrophic cases involving commercial defendants, drunk drivers, or clear gross negligence often carry significantly higher exposure. There is no "calculator" — every case is built on its own facts.
What if the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured?
If you carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own auto policy, that coverage steps in when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough to cover your losses. UM/UIM claims are made against your own carrier, but they are still adversarial — your insurer will defend the claim aggressively. We handle UM/UIM claims regularly.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor fender-bender?
Often, no. If injuries are limited to soreness that resolves in a week or two and property damage is straightforward, you may be able to handle the property and medical-payment claims directly. The threshold for hiring a lawyer rises with the seriousness of the injury, the clarity of liability, and whether a commercial defendant is involved. A free consultation will tell you which side of that line your case sits on.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We work on a contingency-fee basis. There is no hourly bill, no retainer, and no out-of-pocket cost to you. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, and we only collect if we win or settle your case. Case expenses (filing fees, expert witnesses, depositions) are advanced by the firm and reimbursed from the recovery.
