You didn't cause this — don't face the aftermath alone.
A drunk driver made a choice. Now you're dealing with the pain, the medical bills, the missed work, and the fear about what comes next. Insurance companies move fast — and they're not on your side. Their goal is to pay you as little as possible, as quickly as possible.
You deserve someone fighting for you with the same urgency. Every day you wait, evidence fades, witnesses forget, and deadlines creep closer. Texas law gives you only two years from the date of your crash to file a claim. Don't let the clock run out.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. That may sound like plenty of time, but evidence disappears fast and building a strong case takes time. Don't wait — reach out today.
Nothing upfront. Our matching service is completely free. The attorneys we work with handle DWI injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you win or settle your case. No win, no fee.
First, call 911. Make sure police respond — their report and any DWI arrest on scene are critical to your case. Get medical attention even if you feel okay. Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and all vehicles. Don't give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months once liability is clear. Others take a year or more, especially if injuries are serious or the case goes to trial. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Absolutely. A criminal DWI case and your civil injury claim are completely separate legal actions. In fact, a DWI arrest or conviction can actually strengthen your civil case. You have every right to pursue compensation regardless of what happens in criminal court.
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.
