How we work

Our process on a car accident case.

01

Medical care first

Before the legal fight, your health. We can connect you with Houston-area doctors who treat on a letter-of-protection — no insurance needed upfront.

02

Evidence preservation

Police reports, dashcam and surveillance video, 911 calls, skid-mark analysis. We send preservation letters within 48 hours to stop insurers from losing evidence.

03

Medical build-out

Your case is worth what we can prove. We coordinate with specialists so every injury is documented, diagnosed, and valued.

04

Demand and negotiate

Once you've reached maximum medical improvement, we send a demand package to the insurer. Most cases resolve here.

05

Trial if needed

If the insurance company won't pay fair value, we file suit. Every case is built trial-ready from day one.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask about car accident cases.

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

Two years from the date of the crash under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003. Wrongful-death claims also follow a two-year window. Miss it and your claim is generally barred.

What if I was partially at fault?

Texas uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar. You can still recover if you're 50% or less at fault, but your compensation is reduced by your percentage. If you're 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing.

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

No. Insurance adjusters record calls and look for any statement they can use to reduce your claim. Let your attorney handle all communication.

How much is my car accident case worth?

It depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, insurance coverage available, and fault allocation. Simple soft-tissue cases often resolve in low five figures; catastrophic cases can reach seven or eight figures. We give a realistic range after reviewing the facts.
