How to choose a lawyer in University Park

When picking from the local attorneys in our directory, start with focus: look for a lawyer whose practice centers on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will go to court. Confirm the lawyer knows local courts and the insurers common in the area. Get contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Ask who personally handles your case, the lawyer or a paralegal. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar before you sign anything.

What to do after an accident in University Park

After an accident in University Park, 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 gather names, contact details, and insurance information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep every record, including bills, reports, and receipts. Acting promptly matters because Texas has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury. Missing it can bar your claim, so contact a local attorney early to protect your rights.

Texas injury law, in brief

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