What Types of Personal Injury Cases Do We Handle?

Personal injury law covers many situations where negligence leads to harm. Our practice includes:

  • Car, truck, commercial vehicle, and 18-wheeler accidents, including crashes on rural highways and local roads
  • Motorcycle wrecks
  • Pedestrian accidents involving vehicles in neighborhoods, intersections, and parking areas
  • Premises liability and slip and fall cases caused by unsafe property conditions
  • Medical malpractice, such as errors in diagnosis, treatment, or post-care monitoring
  • Wrongful death claims on behalf of families who lost a loved one due to preventable conduct

Each case is different, and we tailor our approach to the facts, injuries, and long-term impact involved.

How Do Personal Injury Claims Work in Texas?

Texas personal injury claims are based on fault. To recover compensation, a claim must show that another party owed a duty of care, failed to meet that duty, and caused injury as a result. Evidence often includes medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and expert analysis.

Texas uses a modified comparative fault system. You may still seek compensation as long as your share of responsibility is not more than 50 percent, though the amount recovered may be reduced. Early review of the facts helps address fault questions before they affect a claim.

What Compensation May Be Available After an Injury?

Depending on the circumstances, a personal injury claim may seek compensation for:

  • Medical bills and future care
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Physical pain and daily limitations
  • Property damage
  • Loss of companionship or support in wrongful death cases

We evaluate the full impact of an injury, not just the immediate costs, and build claims that reflect both current and future needs.

What to Do After a Personal Injury Accident in East Texas

The steps you take after an injury can affect both your recovery and your legal claim. Taking action early helps preserve evidence and reduce disputes later.

  • Get medical care and follow treatment recommendations
  • Report the incident when required and request a copy of any reports
  • Take photos of injuries, vehicles, property conditions, and the surrounding area
  • Keep records of medical bills, missed work, and related expenses
  • Be cautious with insurance communications before the facts are reviewed
  • Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance adjuster before speaking with an attorney—even your own insurer
  • Do not post about the accident or your injuries on social media. Insurance companies monitor online activity and will use it against you

Addressing these issues early helps protect your position and creates a clearer record if a claim is pursued.

How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

In most Texas personal injury cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. Certain cases, including those involving government entities or medical providers, may involve shorter notice deadlines or additional requirements.

Waiting too long can lead to lost evidence and missed deadlines. Early action helps preserve your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to go to court to resolve a personal injury case?

Most cases resolve through a negotiated settlement without going to court. That said, we prepare every case as if a trial is possible, because insurance companies take claims more seriously when they know your attorney is ready to litigate. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to court. No decision about litigation is made without your approval.

What if the insurance company already contacted me?

That call is likely not a routine courtesy. It’s an attempt to gather information that can be used to reduce or deny your claim. You are not required to give a recorded statement to any insurer, including your own, before speaking with an attorney. If you’ve already spoken with an adjuster, contact us before saying anything further. We handle all insurance communication on your behalf from the moment you retain our firm.

Can I recover compensation if my injuries developed over time?

Yes. Some injuries, including soft tissue damage, herniated discs, and traumatic brain injuries, don’t fully present until hours, days, or even weeks after an accident. As long as your medical treatment documents the connection between the incident and your injuries, a claim can still be pursued. Early medical evaluation helps establish that timeline clearly.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?


Nothing upfront. PINEYWOODS LAW™ works on a contingency fee. Our fee comes out of any settlement or verdict we obtain. If we don’t recover, you owe us nothing for a fee or case expense. We also offer free consultations with no obligation.

How long does a personal injury case take?


It depends on the severity of your injuries and whether liability is disputed. Cases where treatment is straightforward and fault is clear can be resolved in a matter of months. Cases involving serious injuries, multiple parties, or uncooperative insurers can take longer. We don’t rush the process because sending a demand before your treatment is complete almost always results in a lower settlement.
