Free · No fee unless you win
One quick form connects you with an experienced Katy car accident attorney — no cost, no obligation, no runaround.
A car accident changes everything in an instant. You're dealing with pain, missed work, medical bills stacking up, and an insurance company that's already working against you. It's overwhelming — and you shouldn't have to figure it out alone.
Insurance adjusters are trained to pay you as little as possible. Without a real attorney in your corner, most victims settle for far less than they deserve. You have rights. You have options. But the clock is ticking.
In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim. Don't wait — contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Nothing upfront. Car accident attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fees unless your case results in a recovery. Our matching service is also completely free.
Call 911 and get a police report. Seek medical attention right away — even if you feel fine. Document the scene with photos. Get the other driver's insurance information. Avoid giving recorded statements to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
It depends on the complexity of your case. Some cases resolve in a few months through a settlement. Others involving serious injuries or disputed liability may take a year or more, especially if litigation is required. Your attorney will give you a clearer timeline after reviewing your situation.
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You may still be able to recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Your recovery may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. An attorney can help evaluate how this applies to your case.
In Katy, Texas, injury cases follow the same statewide rules — but local courts and insurance adjusters have their own patterns. The attorney we match you with knows them.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 gives you exactly 2 years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss it and your case is over — there is no extension, no exception for "I didn't know I could sue." Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year window from the date of death.
Texas uses Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §33.001. You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies know this rule and aggressively try to push fault percentages above 50%. An experienced attorney pushes back.
Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per defendant (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §74.301). There are no caps in standard auto, premises, or product cases — making attorney negotiation skill the deciding factor in your final number.
