How to choose a lawyer in Sweeny

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 firm will take a case to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that operate in this area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day, and confirm that person's role. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Sweeny

Get medical care first, 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 anything related to the accident. Then act promptly: Texas has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so waiting can cost you the right to recover. A local attorney can review your situation and explain your options.

Texas injury law, in brief

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