We organize the process, manage the details, and move your case forward with experience behind every decision. With our T Guarantee, You Win, or you don’t pay us.

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

Car accidents vary widely, and each requires a focused approach. At Tijerina Legal Group, we handle serious cases where the impact is immediate and long-term.

Fatal Accidents

Fatal Accidents

Fatal accidents leave families facing loss, uncertainty, and difficult decisions. These cases require careful handling and a clear legal strategy. We step in to manage the process, identify responsibility, and build a case that reflects the full impact on your family—financial and personal.

Hit & Run Accidents

Hit & Run Accidents

When a driver leaves the scene, it creates uncertainty around liability and recovery. These cases require fast action and a structured investigation. We move quickly to secure evidence—surveillance, witness accounts, and crash reports—and identify available paths forward, including uninsured motorist coverage where applicable.

Understanding Car Accident Claims in Texas

A car accident claim arises when injuries are caused by another driver’s actions, such as distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, or impaired driving. In many cases, multiple factors contribute to how a crash occurs.

These claims focus on documenting what happened, identifying responsibility, and building a case that reflects the full impact of the accident. Information from the Texas Department of Transportation highlights how these crashes occur across the state and why proper case development matters.

What matters is having a team that takes over early and handles your case the right way from the start. We handle communication, gather the right evidence, and build your case in a way that positions it for a strong outcome.

What Compensation May Be Available After a Car Accident?

  • Emergency and Ongoing Medical Treatment: Includes hospital visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, and any future care required to treat injuries caused by the accident.
  • Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity: Covers income lost during recovery and any long-term impact your injuries may have on your ability to work.
  • Pain and Daily Life Disruptions: Accounts for physical discomfort, emotional strain, and the ways your injuries affect your daily routine and quality of life.
  • Vehicle and Property Damage: Provides compensation for repairs or replacement of your vehicle and any personal property damaged in the crash.
  • Long-Term or Permanent Injuries: Addresses ongoing care needs, disabilities, and the broader impact serious injuries may have on your future.

Do You Have a Valid Car Accident Case?

If another driver’s actions contributed to the crash, there is a strong possibility you have a case. Even when fault is shared, there may still be a path forward under Texas law.

Timing matters. Evidence such as crash reports, witness statements, and video footage can become harder to obtain over time. Many people are looking for that same clarity when deciding what to do next, and a conversation can help you understand your options.

—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.
