Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about their trial record, meaning how often they take cases to court and with what results. Get the contingency terms in writing before you sign, including the percentage and how costs are handled. Confirm who will actually handle your case day to day, since it may not be the person you first meet. Check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Compare a few options and pick the one whose answers are clear and consistent.
What to do after an accident in Corpus Christi
Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, and follow the treatment advice you receive. Document the scene with photos and notes while details are fresh. Gather names, contact information, and insurance details from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault and decline recorded statements from insurers until you have advice. Keep every record, including bills, reports, and correspondence. Texas gives you two years from the date of injury to file, so do not let the deadline pass while you decide.

Corpus Christi, Texas injury lawyers, your questions answered
Clear answers for your situation. A local attorney can go deeper.
Most personal injury lawyers in Corpus Christi work on contingency, meaning you pay a percentage of any recovery rather than an hourly fee. Ask for the percentage and how costs are handled to be put in writing before you sign. Confirm whether costs are deducted before or after the fee is calculated, and ask what happens if the case does not recover anything.
Texas sets the filing deadline at 2 years from the date of injury. If you miss it, you may lose the ability to pursue your claim. Because investigation and negotiation take time, speak with a lawyer well before the deadline. Ask the lawyer to confirm the deadline that applies to your situation and to track it for you.
Get medical care first and follow the treatment advice you receive. Document the scene with photos and notes, and gather names, contact details, and insurance information from everyone involved.

Not every claim requires a lawyer, but injuries with disputed fault, significant medical costs, or insurer pushback often benefit from one. A lawyer can explain the modified comparative negligence rule, which bars recovery if your fault exceeds 50 percent, and can handle negotiations and deadlines. A short initial conversation can help you decide whether representation is worthwhile.
