Frequently Asked Questions About Conroe Personal Injury Claims
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas?
Texas law provides a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. The clock typically starts on the date of your injury. Exceptions may exist for minors. Claims against government entities have shorter notice deadlines. Do not wait to seek legal advice.
How much does a Conroe personal injury lawyer cost?

Our fees typically range from 33.33% to 40%, depending on whether a lawsuit is required. We are happy to explain our fee structure before you hire us.
What should I do immediately after an accident in Conroe?
Report the accident to the police. Seek medical attention right away. Document the scene with photos. Collect witness contact information. Avoid admitting fault or giving recorded statements to insurance companies. Contact a personal injury attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Determining how much your case is worth is a difficult question for any attorney unless they know all the facts. Case value depends on how badly you're hurt—the total of your medical expenses and lost income. And in many cases, settlements are limited by how much insurance coverage is available to pay for your damages.
We provide free case evaluations to assess these factors and give you an honest estimate of potential compensation.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Yes, under Texas's modified comparative fault rule. You can recover damages if you are less than 51% responsible for the accident. Your percentage of fault under 51% reduces your compensation. Insurance companies usually try to shift the blame to reduce what they must pay.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle before trial. However, our willingness to go to trial strengthens our negotiating position. Insurance companies know which attorneys try cases and which settle every time. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which often leads to much better settlement offers.
