The insurance company’s first offer is almost always low. See what your claim is really worth before you accept it.
I was involved in a serious car wreck with four children with me and suffered a broken wrist and bruises. They got my medical and car paid off and a settlement. They were great all the way through the rehab for my wrist and i highly recommend them!!
They settled my Lawsuit easily & effortlessly out of court, & my attorney was able to negotiate an even higher settlement on my behalf! It was an easy process the entire time. They are a great team! They get the job done!
My lead attorney in my case was beyond supportive and considerate of my circumstances and assisted me in every way possible and in the quickest most efficient ways. I was treated with great care and concern in my case, and recieved the best case scenario in my settlement.

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different.
We've gone up against all of them.
Every case is different, but Texas car accident settlements commonly land between $5,000 and $250,000+. Minor soft-tissue cases can fall below that; serious injuries with surgery or long-term treatment go well above it. The two biggest drivers are your medical treatment and the coverage available — a free review shows where your case may fall.
Almost never. The first offer is an anchor, not an appraisal — insurers open low and count on you taking it before you know your number. Real settlement value includes medical bills, lost wages, future treatment, and pain, not just your car. See a realistic range before you sign anything.
Most Texas car accident cases settle in 6–18 months. Clear-fault cases with finished medical treatment move fastest. Serious injuries take longer — settling before you know the full extent of treatment usually means settling for less.
Probably not. The large majority of Texas car accident cases settle without a trial. Insurers usually prefer to settle once a claim is properly documented — being ready for court is the pressure that produces a fair settlement, not the destination.
Texas uses modified comparative fault: you can still recover as long as you're found 50% or less at fault — your settlement is just reduced by your percentage. Don't take the adjuster's word for your share of fault; that number is negotiable, not a verdict.
