How to choose a lawyer in Richardson

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how quickly they spot the issues in your case. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, because insurers weigh whether a lawyer will take a case to court. Confirm the lawyer knows local courts and the insurers you may face. 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.

What to do after an accident in Richardson

After an accident in Richardson, put your health 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, exchange and gather information from everyone involved, and avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and any correspondence. Texas has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters and delays can cost you the chance to recover. Then reach out to a local attorney for guidance.

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.
