$8.1 Million

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 Harlingen, TX Your Questions Answered

FAQ media

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

In Texas, you typically have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Acting sooner helps preserve evidence, supports your claim, and allows your legal team to prepare a more complete and effective case.

How long does a personal injury case take?

The timeline of a personal injury case depends on the circumstances involved. Some cases resolve quickly, while others take longer. Factors such as treatment, investigation, and negotiations all influence how long the process may take.

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

Hiring our firm does not require up-front payment. We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning we are only paid if we recover compensation. If your case does not result in recovery, you do not owe attorney fees.

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

Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. You may still recover damages if your fault is less than 51 percent. Any compensation may be reduced based on your share of responsibility and the circumstances involved in your case.

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

You may still pursue compensation even if you do not have insurance. The at-fault party’s coverage may apply, and other recovery options could be available depending on the details of your situation and overall case circumstances.
