Most Popular FAQS
What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident in Texas?
After an accident, your first priority is your health. Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor. Then report the incident to law enforcement, document the scene with photos, and gather witness information if possible. Before speaking with insurance adjusters, consult a Texas personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and avoid mistakes that could reduce your compensation.
Do I Really Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Yes. Insurance companies have lawyers working from day one to minimize or deny claims. A personal injury lawyer levels the playing field, handles negotiations, gathers evidence, and ensures you pursue full compensation. Studies consistently show that injured victims represented by attorneys recover significantly more than those who handle claims alone.
What If I Was Partially at Fault for the Accident?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often try to unfairly shift blame — an experienced attorney can protect you from this tactic.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Texas?
In most cases, Texas law allows two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline usually means losing your right to compensation entirely. Some exceptions apply, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
The value of a personal injury case depends on several factors, including medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, pain and suffering, and the long-term impact on your life. Serious injuries involving trucks, motorcycles, or commercial vehicles often result in higher compensation. A Fort Worth personal injury lawyer can evaluate your case and provide a realistic estimate based on Texas law and prior verdicts.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
At Francis Injury, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. You owe no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. This allows injured victims to access top-tier legal representation regardless of financial situation.
Will My Case Go to Trial?
Most personal injury cases settle without trial. However, insurance companies offer better settlements when they know your lawyer is fully prepared to take the case to court. Francis Injury builds every case with a trial-first strategy, which strengthens negotiations and maximizes recovery.
What Types of Accidents Do You Handle?
Our firm handles serious injury cases involving car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian injuries, bicycle accidents, construction accidents, brain injuries, burn injuries, premises liability, and wrongful death claims throughout Fort Worth and across Texas.
How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take?
Some cases resolve in a few months, while complex injury claims can take longer. The timeline depends on the severity of injuries, medical recovery, insurance cooperation, and whether litigation is required. Our goal is always to resolve your case efficiently while maximizing compensation.
What If the Insurance Company Already Contacted Me?
You should avoid giving recorded statements or signing documents before speaking with a lawyer. Insurance adjusters are trained to reduce payouts. Once you hire a personal injury attorney, all communication goes through your legal team — protecting you from costly mistakes.
Can You Help Me Get Medical Treatment If I Can’t Afford It?
Yes. Many injury victims struggle to access care after an accident. Francis Injury helps clients connect with trusted medical providers and navigate treatment costs while their case is pending.
