Frequently asked questions

Report the accident to the police no matter how minor it seems, and seek medical attention right away. Take photos of the vehicles and the scene, write down witness information, and get the driver exchange form. Then notify your insurance company — and before accepting any offer or signing documents, talk to an attorney.

Yes. You must inform your insurance company of any accident, whether it was your fault or not. If you don't report it, the insurer may deny later claims related to that accident.

In Texas, once the insurer receives notice of your claim, it generally must notify you within 30 days whether it will pay, deny, or continue investigating. If you feel they're stalling, it's time to talk to an attorney.

Possibly, yes. Texas follows a comparative fault rule: if the accident wasn't entirely your fault, you may still recover damages from the other driver for their share of responsibility. Every case is different — tell us about yours and we'll give you a straight answer.

If you were injured by a defective or hazardous condition on someone else's property — a wet floor, a broken step, poor lighting — you may have the right to pursue damages: medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. Report the incident, take photos, and talk to an attorney soon.

You must show the owner had notice of the hazard — either 'actual notice' (they knew beforehand) or 'constructive notice' (they should have known through reasonable inspection) — and still failed to fix it. Gathering that evidence is exactly what we do.

Some examples: holes, slippery floors, broken steps or sidewalks, protruding objects, and stairs lacking railings or lighting. If something like this caused your injury, document it with photos as soon as possible.

Typically: claiming they didn't know about the hazard, or arguing you were negligent for not watching where you were going. That's why early evidence — photos, witnesses, an incident report — matters so much for your case.

It's a claim that can be filed by the survivors of a person who died due to another party's negligence or misconduct — for example, in a car accident, at work, or through medical negligence.

In Texas, generally the deceased's spouse, children, and parents. Minors need an adult guardian, and other dependents may qualify depending on the circumstances. An attorney can confirm who qualifies in your family.

Families may recover economic losses (the income and services their loved one provided), the victim's pain and suffering, loss of guidance and companionship, and related expenses. Every case is evaluated individually.

It's negligence committed by a professional healthcare provider whose performance fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. Not every bad medical outcome is malpractice — that's why we evaluate each case with experts.

You may claim compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, disfigurement or disability, lost wages, and damage to family relationships. These cases have special rules and deadlines in Texas, so don't let time pass.
