Morgan’s Experience: From Delayed Pain to Regular Updates

“I was getting a lot of updates, which was very nice and helpful.”

Morgan was on her way to a morning workout when her crash happened. Her neck began hurting later that night, and she sought emergency care. During her case, regular communication helped her keep track of what was happening.

What Do You Need Help With After the Crash?

  1. Understanding how your injuries affect the claim

    Whether you left by ambulance or sought treatment later, we work through your medical records and bills. We document when symptoms appeared, what treatment you received, and how the injuries affect your work and daily life.

  2. Responding when the insurer blames you

    A driver’s account is only one piece of evidence. We examine photographs, witnesses, video, and the available reports to understand what happened. If the insurer disputes fault, we compare its position with those records.

  3. Deciding whether an offer is enough

    An offer may arrive before you know the full cost of recovery. We review it alongside your treatment, missed pay, available coverage, and future needs, then explain your options before you decide whether to sign.

  4. Finding out which deadlines matter

    Tell us the crash date and whether a public vehicle was involved. We use those details to check filing deadlines, special notice requirements, and whether evidence needs to be requested quickly.

  5. Locating the report and other police records

    The investigating agency may not be the one you expect. We identify who handled the crash and request the relevant records. If no report was written, we look for other evidence rather than treating the report as the only way forward.

  6. Handling a ticket connected to the collision

    Let your attorney know if you received a citation. We review how it relates to the injury claim and explain why you should understand your options before paying a fine or entering a plea.

The Collisions We Handle

Our work includes crashes involving personal vehicles, company vehicles, and rideshare drivers, as well as collisions that injure people on foot.

What DeSoto’s Crash Records Add to the Picture

Our analysis of TxDOT records identified 1,621 DeSoto crashes from 2023 through 2025.

  • Officers recorded a left turn in 28% of crashes, compared with 16% across Texas cities.
  • Distraction or inattention appeared in 27%, compared with 19% across Texas cities.
  • I-35E and FM 1382 accounted for 35 of DeSoto’s 59 crashes involving a death or suspected serious injury.

These patterns provide local context, but they cannot decide an individual claim. We still need the evidence from your collision to establish what happened. The figures reflect officer recorded information. State comparisons include crashes within city limits.

What Working With Our Firm Looks Like

  1. Someone follows up so you do not have to chase every record

    Missing bills, unanswered insurance questions, and a car awaiting repairs can add to an already difficult week. Your case manager coordinates records and communication, while your attorney evaluates coverage, evidence, and settlement offers.

  2. Repair and rental payments stay outside our attorney fee

    We do not charge an attorney fee percentage on property damage or rental reimbursement. Those payments remain separate from the percentage charged on your injury recovery.

  3. We account for what recovery may require later

    The cost of an injury can continue after the first round of bills. If your condition affects future treatment, earnings, or daily support needs, we document those effects and involve appropriate experts when needed.

  4. Experience helps us work through missing or disputed evidence

    Our attorneys bring more than 60 years of combined experience, including work defending insurers and taking cases to trial. That background helps us identify weaknesses in a claim early and determine what additional proof is needed.

    For example, our rear end truck case had no police report. Vehicle photographs and medical records helped support the claim, which resolved for $100,000 without a lawsuit.

    See how we handled the case

  5. You know who to contact and when to expect an update

    You receive a dedicated case manager with a direct number for calls or texts. We provide an update at least every 14 days, including when we are waiting for records or an insurer’s response. English and Spanish service is available throughout your case.

What Does It Cost to Hire Us?

Our attorney fee depends on when the claim resolves:

  • 33% if it settles before litigation.
  • 40% if it resolves during litigation.

The attorney fee, $300 administrative charge, and case costs are paid only from a recovery. Your written agreement explains the charges.
