What personal injury law covers
Personal injury law lets a person injured due to another party's negligence recover from the party at fault. To win a personal injury claim you must show the other side owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injury and real damages. An experienced personal injury attorney in Edinburg gathers the evidence to prove each part and builds a strong case, whether you were hurt in a car crash or injured in another kind of accident in Edinburg.

Compensation in an Edinburg personal injury claim
Texas law lets injury victims recover both economic and non-economic damages:
- Medical expenses and medical bills, past and future
- Lost wages and lost earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term care where the injury is permanent
How much a case is worth depends on the injury and the evidence, so no honest lawyer quotes an average settlement before a review. Our job is to prove the value of your claim and fight for the maximum compensation the facts support, so you get the compensation you deserve.
The deadline to file a personal injury claim in Texas
In most cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under Texas law. A claim filed late can be blocked no matter how strong it is, and evidence fades over time. It helps to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney soon after the accident.

Frequently asked questions
Is it worth suing for personal injury?
If your injury was caused by someone else's negligence and you have real medical bills or lost income, usually yes. A free case review tells you whether you have a claim worth pursuing, with no cost and no obligation.
What is the average settlement for personal injury in Texas?
There is no reliable average. What a case is worth depends on the injury, the medical care, the lost income and who is at fault. Any figure quoted before a lawyer reviews your records is a guess.
How much do most personal injury lawyers charge?
Personal injury cases in Texas are handled on a contingency fee. The attorney's fee is a share of the recovery, agreed in writing before the case begins. You pay no attorney's fee and no case expenses unless we recover for you. The exact percentage is stated in the written agreement you sign.
Do you help Spanish-speaking clients?
Yes. Our team represents injury victims in English and Spanish across Edinburg and the Rio Grande Valley.
