In an instant, an experienced driver's life changed forever when a speeding semi-truck crossed the center line on a quiet Arkansas backroad and struck him head-on.

—N.H.

Reaching out to the Tijerina Legal Group was one of the best decisions that week

Having your minor child be involved in a vehicle collision is one of the scariest moments as a parent. I’ll never forget his phone call that morning and the fear in his voice. As a parent, we strive to ensure our kids bounce back from whatever hurdles they tackle and I knew I couldn’t do this alone. Reaching out to the Tijerina Legal Group was one of the best decisions that week. My son was in pain and I knew I couldn’t handle dealing with insurance claims all on my own. From the first meeting and beyond, the staff was clear, concise and so helpful. Navigating the legal system alone would have surely overwhelmed me but I had the amazing Tijerina group standing strong on my behalf as I worked to help my son recover after his accident. I’m so thankful for the help and guidance and couldn’t be happier for my kiddo and the resolution he saw once our case was successfully closed.

Personal Injury Attorney Brownsville, TX Your Questions Answered

FAQ media

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Brownsville, Texas?

Most personal injury lawsuits in Texas must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Acting quickly helps secure important evidence, strengthens your case, and gives your legal team time to prepare a well-supported claim.

How long does a personal injury case take?

Personal injury cases can vary in length depending on several factors. Some are resolved quickly, while others take more time. Treatment progress, evidence collection, and negotiation efforts all impact how long your case may take overall.

Do I need to pay for an attorney after an accident?

You do not need to pay any upfront fees to hire our firm. We work on a contingency basis, meaning payment comes from the compensation recovered. If no recovery is made, you are not responsible for attorney fees.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident in Texas?

Texas law allows recovery even if you share some responsibility, as long as you are less than 51 percent at fault. Your compensation may be reduced based on your level of fault and the details surrounding the accident.

If I don’t have insurance, can I still get money from an accident that wasn’t my fault?

Lack of insurance does not prevent you from seeking compensation. The responsible party’s coverage may still apply, and additional options may exist. Our Brownsville personal injury lawyers evaluate your situation help determine the most effective way to pursue recovery after the accident.
