No. Past settlements and verdicts reflect specific facts, liability, insurance coverage, and damages unique to each case. They're not a prediction of what any other case will recover.
-
It depends on the injuries, evidence, insurance coverage, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. A claim can involve investigation, negotiation, a filed lawsuit, discovery, settlement discussions, and trial; each step adds time, and no two cases move at the same pace.
As one client put it: "My case was settled fairly fast and had a way better outcome than expected." (Ricky R., Google Review)
-
Photos of the scene, injuries, and vehicle damage; medical records and bills; witness contact information; crash reports; and any insurer communications. Don't wait to start gathering this — some evidence (like surveillance footage) can disappear quickly.
-
Texas follows a proportionate responsibility rule. If you're found 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you're found more than 50% at fault, you're barred from recovery. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto the injured party for this reason, which is why an early case review matters.
-
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury or death to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Certain situations — claims against government entities, medical malpractice, or cases involving minors — can shorten or extend that deadline, so it's worth confirming your specific timeline early.
