Questions
What types of personal injury cases do you handle?
We handle all types of personal injury cases including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, wrongful death, product liability, dog bites, and pedestrian accidents across the Texas Panhandle.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We work on a contingency fee basis with no upfront costs. You only pay attorney fees if we successfully recover compensation for your case.
What is the statute of limitations for injury claims in Texas?
Texas law requires personal injury claims to be filed within two years from the date of injury. Failing to meet this deadline typically bars recovery of damages.
How do you prove fault in accident cases?
We gather evidence including police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert testimony to establish negligence and liability in personal injury cases.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Texas follows modified comparative fault. You can recover damages if found less than 51% responsible, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
