Serving Houston and Harris County from Our Cypress Creek Office
Baumgartner Law Firm is located at 6711 Cypress Creek Pkwy (FM 1960) in north Houston, with free parking and home or hospital visits by appointment. We represent injured people and families throughout Houston and Harris County, as well as Montgomery, Fort Bend, and surrounding counties where many of our clientsโ cases are filed.
Most of the serious crashes we handle happen on the corridors our clients drive every day: I-45 North, US-290, Beltway 8, FM 1960, I-10, US-59/I-69 and Loop 610. Our clients are often treated at Houston Methodist Willowbrook, HCA Houston Healthcare Northwest, Memorial Hermann, and the Texas Medical Center, and we work with their physicians to document the full extent of each injury.
Cases that donโt settle usually go to trial in the Harris County District Courts downtown, and we prepare every case as if it will. Greg Baumgartner has practiced in those courtrooms since 1985.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions Houston injury victims ask us most. If yours isnโt here, call (281) 587-1111 and ask Greg directly. The call is free.
Do I have a personal injury case?
You may have a personal injury case if someone elseโs carelessness caused your injuries. Greg Baumgartner can review what happened, how your injuries have affected your life, and whether insurance or other resources are available to pay a claim. Greg will explain your options and answer your questions. There is no obligation to hire the firm.
When should I call a personal injury lawyer after an accident?
Get medical care first, then contact a lawyer as soon as practical, ideally within days. You do not need to finish treatment before calling. Surveillance video can be erased, and witnesses can become harder to find. Calling early helps us preserve evidence and advise you before you give a recorded statement or accept an insurance offer.
How much does a Houston personal injury lawyer cost?
You pay no attorneyโs fee upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the money we recover for you, starting at one-third and potentially increasing to 40% if a lawsuit is filed. We also advance case expenses, including expert fees and court costs, which are repaid separately from the recovery. Your written agreement explains both the fees and expenses.
What compensation can I recover in a Texas personal injury claim?
Compensation may cover medical bills, future care, lost income, and a reduced ability to earn a living. It may also cover pain, mental anguish, physical limitations, and disfigurement. In wrongful death cases, eligible family members may recover for lost support and companionship. Some cases also qualify for punitive damages, which punish gross negligence or other especially serious misconduct.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Your caseโs value depends on your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and how the injuries affect your future. Evidence of fault and available insurance also matter. A lasting disability can create needs that a temporary injury does not. Greg will review the medical records, evidence, and insurance coverage before discussing a realistic value.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Yes. In most Texas personal injury cases, you can recover if you are 50% or less at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your share of responsibility. For example, if your damages are $100,000 and you are 20% responsible, your recovery is generally reduced to $80,000. If you are more than 50% responsible, you cannot recover.
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit in Texas?
Most Texas personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury. Wrongful death lawsuits generally must be filed within two years of the death. Exceptions can change these deadlines. Government claims may also require written notice much sooner. For claims against the City of Houston, notice is generally required within 90 days. Contact a lawyer promptly to confirm your deadlines.
How long does a personal injury case take in Houston?
Some cases settle in a few months. Serious injuries, disputed fault, or a lawsuit can make the process take much longer. Timing depends on your medical recovery, the evidence, and the courtโs schedule. Before recommending a settlement, Greg needs a clear understanding of your future medical needs and how your injuries will affect your life.
Will my case settle or go to trial?
Most cases settle without a trial. We prepare serious cases with trial in mind, gathering evidence and addressing the other sideโs defenses. Greg will explain any settlement offer, the potential benefits and risks of trial, and his recommendation. You decide whether to accept an offer.
