Do I pay a fee if there is no recovery?

In appropriate cases these matters are handled on a contingent fee: the attorney fee is a percentage of any recovery, and no attorney fee is charged if there is no recovery. Case expenses are separate and are addressed in a written fee agreement.

How long do I have to file an injury claim?

Many Texas and Oklahoma injury claims run on a two-year limitations clock, but notice rules, minors, and government defendants can change the date. Calendar the incident and call early.

Should I sign the insurer's first offer?

Usually not before a review. Early offers often come before future care and full coverage are known.

How a personal injury claim works

How does a personal injury claim work?

A personal injury claim seeks compensation from the at-fault party (usually through their insurer) for losses caused by negligence — medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. The steps are: get medical treatment and document it, identify every applicable insurance policy, establish liability, and value the full loss before settling. Both Texas and Oklahoma follow at-fault rules and comparative negligence, and most injury suits have a two-year limitations window that specific facts can change.

Matters we handle

Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents
Wrongful death and catastrophic injury
Premises liability, slip and fall, and negligent security
Commercial vehicle accidents and insurance disputes

Why the insurer's first call is not the finish line

Early offers often arrive before the medical picture is clear and rarely include future care, lost earning capacity, or every available coverage layer. We map the coverage and value the full loss before anyone signs.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every matter is different and depends on its own facts.

No outcome is promised or guaranteed. Descriptions of process are general and are not a prediction about any specific matter.
