Common questions
When should I call after a wreck?
Call before giving a recorded statement if you are hurt or unsure what the insurer is asking. Early calls are about preserving evidence, getting treatment sorted out, and avoiding simple mistakes.
Do I have a case if I was partly at fault?
Maybe. Texas uses proportionate responsibility rules, so fault matters. Bring the crash report, photos, witness names, and insurance letters. The lawyer can give you a straight read after seeing the facts.
What if the other driver has no insurance?
The lawyer checks your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, PIP, health coverage, and any other available policy. Do not assume there is no recovery until the coverage search is done.
How do injury lawyers get paid?
Most injury cases are handled on a contingency fee. That means the fee comes from a recovery if there is one. The exact agreement must be in writing, and you should read it before signing.
What makes truck wreck cases different?
Evidence disappears fast. Driver logs, maintenance records, dash cameras, dispatch records, and ECM data need preservation letters right away. That is especially true around port, refinery, and Eagle Ford traffic.
Do I need to finish medical treatment first?
No. You can call early. A demand usually waits until treatment and records are clearer, but the lawyer can help you avoid gaps and missed evidence while you heal.
Can you meet if I cannot drive?
Yes. Phone, video, hospital, home, or office meetings are common depending on the situation. The intake team will work around your condition.
