Choose a lawyer whose practice centers on personal injury rather than general work. Ask about their trial record and whether they take cases to court when needed. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and how costs are handled. Confirm who will actually handle your case day to day, since some firms pass work to other staff. Check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar of Texas. Meet or speak with more than one option, and pick someone who explains things clearly and answers your questions without pressure.

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, and follow the treatment advice you receive.
