Start with a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how a case is built. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, and whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in your area. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage is taken, who pays case costs, and whether you owe anything if the case loses. Confirm who personally handles your case day to day, since some firms pass work to less experienced staff. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory.
What to do after an accident in Oak Island
Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later and early records matter. Document the scene and your injuries with photos, and gather names, contact details, insurance information, and any witness details. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer before you have advice. Keep every record: medical bills, treatment notes, repair estimates, and receipts. Acting promptly matters in Texas, which sets a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so delays can cost you the right to recover. Once your immediate needs are handled, use our directory to connect with a local attorney.

Most personal injury lawyers offer a free consultation and work on contingency, so you pay no fee unless you win.

Ask about case costs as well, since who pays them varies by firm.
Texas sets a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury. If you miss it, you can generally lose the right to recover, so contact a lawyer well before the deadline. Because investigation and evidence gathering take time, acting early is safer than waiting until the last months.
