How to choose a lawyer in Plano

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a lawyer will take a case to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the Plano area. Get clear contingency terms in writing, and ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory, and pick the one who answers them directly.

What to do after an accident in Plano

After an accident in Plano, put safety first and get medical care even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost time. Then act promptly: Texas has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so delaying can cost you the right to recover. A local attorney can explain your options.

Texas injury law, in brief

Texas gives you 2 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. The state uses a modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% bar, so you recover only if your fault is 50% or less. See the Texas page for full details.
