What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

Jacqueline D.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.

Why Hire a Houston Car Accident Lawyer?

The Importance of Hiring an Attorney

Hiring an attorney after a car accident is essential, particularly if you’ve experienced significant injuries. A capable car accident lawyer can:

  • Accurately evaluate the value of your claim
  • Inform you about your legal rights
  • Manage communication with insurance companies
  • Collect crucial evidence to strengthen your case
  • Negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf
  • Represent you in court, if required

The Cost of a Personal Injury Attorney

At Law Brothers, we understand the financial stress that a car accident can impose on your life. That’s why we offer our services on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees, and we only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation for your case.

Common Factors Affecting Car Accident Cases in Houston

Negligence is a critical aspect of car accident cases. In this context, it is defined as the act of a driver causing an accident by failing to comply with traffic laws or performing an action that a reasonable driver would not.

Establishing liability is a crucial aspect of car accident cases. It is the legal responsibility for the damages caused by an individual or entity. To determine liability, an attorney will evaluate the evidence and ascertain who was responsible for the accident.

Insurance coverage is a vital component of car accident claims. However, it’s important to remember that insurance coverage does not guarantee the policyholder will receive the total amount of their claim. Insurance companies typically aim to minimize their payouts on car accident claims.

How Hiring an Attorney Can Lead to a Higher Settlement

Working with an experienced Houston injury attorney increases your chances of securing a higher settlement for the following reasons:

  • Legal expertise: Our attorneys have a comprehensive understanding of personal injury law and can adeptly navigate the legal process.
  • Skilled negotiation: We have a proven history of negotiating with insurance companies to help you obtain a fair settlement.
  • Access to resources: Our firm can leverage expert witnesses, accident reconstruction specialists, and other resources to bolster your case.

For more than 15 years, Law Brothers has taken on the big insurance companies. Our Houston car accident attorneys have helped thousands of people injured in car accidents. We can negotiate aggressively on your behalf to secure a fair settlement.

The Process of Filing a Car Accident Claim in Houston

Filing a car accident claim in Houston can be a complex process. From gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies and, if necessary, litigating the case, there are several steps involved in obtaining the compensation you deserve. A skilled car accident attorney can assist you throughout this process, ensuring your case is handled professionally and efficiently.

The first step in filing a car accident claim is to contact 911 to report the accident and provide details. A crash report can be obtained in Houston by downloading it from the Texas Department of Transportation’s Crash Reporting and Analysis for Safer Highways (C.R.A.S.H.) website. The statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit in Texas due to a car accident is two years from the date of the accident, with exceptions for accidents involving minors.

Understanding the process of filing a car accident claim in Houston and working with a dedicated attorney can help ensure that your case is handled efficiently and that you receive the maximum compensation possible.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

Houston is home to over 2,200,000 people as of the most recent survey data. A major city like Houston is not immune to car accidents.

Damages in a car accident case can be categorized as economic or non-economic. Economic damages refer to losses that can be quantified in terms of monetary value, such as medical expenses and income loss. Non-economic damages refer to the less tangible losses experienced in an auto accident, such as pain and suffering.

Here are some common causes of car accidents in Houston: 

  • Distracted Driving: In Texas as a whole, distracted driving is the cause of thousands of car accidents. Any activity that prevents a driver from paying attention on the road, such as texting, phoning, or eating, can cause an accident.
  • Speeding: If you add speeding to distracted driving or driving under the influence, you can have serious car accidents that lead to major injuries as a result. 
  • Drunk Driving: Houston had more drunk driving incidents than any other state from 2001 to 2016. Unfortunately, this cause is avoidable but also so devastating. 
  • Drug-Impaired Driving: As with alcohol, Houston has the highest number of car accidents related to drug use than any other major city. 
  • Reckless Driving: This includes aggressive behaviors like tailgating, swerving through traffic, excessive speeding, and even road rage incidents. 
  • Adverse Weather Conditions: Conditions like rain and the hot, dry summer months in Houston can challenge some drivers, making it difficult for them to navigate the roads.
  • Disregarding Traffic Signals and Signs: Failure to yield the right of way is a common cause of car accidents in Houston. 
  • Tailgating: Following too closely behind another vehicle diminishes the reaction time needed to avert a collision if the vehicle in front abruptly stops or slows down.
  • Inexperienced Drivers: Young and inexperienced drivers are more likely to be involved in car accidents. 
  • Vehicle Defects: Sometimes, accidents are caused by faulty vehicle parts, such as brakes or tires.

We know that car accidents happen, but if an accident decreases your quality of life, you can get a free consultation from an experienced Law Brothers attorney who can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Common Injuries After Car Accidents in Houston

Law Brothers has helped people injured in car accidents for over 15 years. This is our passion. We work day and night to get injured people the compensation they deserve. These are the most common causes of car accidents in Houston: 

  1. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): The speed or veracity of the car accident may not factor when it comes to a TBI. These head injuries occur when the head experiences a significant impact or penetrating injury during a car crash.
  2. Spinal Cord Injuries: The spine is affected by the jerking motion of an accident. These injuries can cause severe and permanent changes in strength, sensation, and body functions below the site of the injury.
  3. Neck and Back Injuries: Whiplash is one of the most common car accident injuries, and it affects the neck and upper back. Other back injuries can include herniated disks and spinal cord injuries.
  4. Broken Bones: Collisions can lead to broken bones in the arms, legs, ribs, and other parts of the body. Some injuries can be more severe than others and may even require surgery.
  5. Internal Injuries: Car accidents can cause internal injuries such as organ damage or internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening.
  6. Burns: If a car catches fire or hot parts of the vehicle come into contact with the skin, injury victims may experience burns. Even the friction caused by the accident can cause burns from seatbelts and other safety features.
  7. Soft Tissue Injuries: These are injuries to muscles, tendons, and ligaments and can include bruises, sprains, and strains.
  8. Cuts and Lacerations: Flying debris, broken glass, and metal can cause serious cuts during a car accident.
  9. Knee and Leg Injuries: These can range from minor bruises to broken bones and torn ligaments.
  10. Psychological Injuries: Car accidents can cause not only physical injuries but also emotional and mental trauma like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Don’t delay medical attention. If you suspect injury or are experiencing discomfort following an accident, promptly pursue the necessary treatment. Additionally, we suggest engaging a proficient Houston car accident attorney to provide legal advice and assist in securing the compensation you rightfully deserve.

Negotiating with insurance companies can be challenging for the car accident claim process. A car accident lawyer can assist in safeguarding the victim’s interests and negotiating a favorable settlement. Insurance adjusters may attempt to leverage a victim’s delay in seeking medical treatment to suggest that their injury was not severe or not pertinent.

An experienced car accident attorney can safeguard the victim’s interests during negotiations with insurance companies by utilizing negotiation tactics and presenting evidence. Working with a skilled Law Brothers attorney increases the likelihood of receiving a successful settlement negotiation.

Gathering Evidence

Collecting evidence after a car accident is crucial to support your claim. The procedure for gathering evidence involves gathering information regarding the accident scene, taking photographs, obtaining witness declarations, and recording the other driver’s contact details, insurance information, and license plate number. The car accident report in Houston encompasses information pertaining to the medical care of injured parties, including the ambulance service and hospital they are taken to.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies

Negotiating with insurance companies can be a challenging aspect of the car accident claim process. A car accident lawyer can assist in safeguarding the victim’s interests and negotiating a favorable settlement. Insurance adjusters may attempt to leverage a victim’s delay in seeking medical treatment to suggest that their injury was not severe or not pertinent.

Litigation

If an equitable settlement cannot be achieved through negotiations with insurance companies, the victim’s case may proceed to litigation and enter the court system. The role of a Houston car accident lawyer in taking a case to court is to serve as a knowledgeable trial attorney who advocates for justice.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I pay if we don't win the case?

    No, there is no fee if we don't win your case. We call that a contingency fee which means our payment is dependent on one of our attorneys obtaining a favorable result for you. Either we win, or you don't pay. Under this arrangement, the lawyer agrees to accept a fixed percentage, often one-third, of the recovery, which is the amount finally paid to the client. If the client loses the case, the lawyer gets no fee, although the client may still be responsible for costs associated with the case, such as filing fees and other out-of-pocket expenses.

  • Do I need a lawyer for a car accident in Texas?

    While you are not legally required to have a lawyer to file a lawsuit after a car accident in Texas, hiring one can be highly beneficial, particularly if your case is complex or involves significant damages. Under Texas law, you may be entitled to compensation if you are not at fault for the accident. A lawyer can help you understand your options and get the best result. Remember, consulting with an attorney after a car accident doesn't obligate you to hire them, but it can provide you with valuable insights about your legal options and potential strategies for your case.

  • Can you sue for a car accident in Texas?

    Yes, you can sue for a car accident in Texas. If you are involved in a car accident in Texas, and it was caused by another party's negligence, you can file a lawsuit against that party to recover damages. Texas follows a "fault" system for car accident claims, meaning the person who caused the accident is responsible for compensating anyone injured or whose property was damaged.

  • For how much can someone sue after a car accident in Texas?

    In Texas, car accident victims are generally able to sue for economic and non-economic damages caused by the accident. The amount of compensation available in a car accident lawsuit will depend on the specifics of each case and may include lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other losses. It's important to note that Texas follows a comparative negligence rule. This means that if you were partly at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault. The exact amount you can sue for will depend on the specifics of your case and a qualified attorney.

  • Do you go to trial?

    Yes. at The Law Brothers®, we have a reputation for going to trial if we have to. We believe that some cases require a jury trial, and our team of litigators has the experience to take on big insurance companies and opposing injury lawyers. If your case demands it, we will keep fighting until we win for you. Our personal injury attorneys play a crucial role when it comes to fighting for their clients' rights in court. They are skilled professionals who are well-versed in legal theories related to personal injury, as well as the procedural rules of the court. These attorneys advocate for their clients by presenting compelling evidence and arguments, focusing on establishing the negligence or fault of the opposing party.

  • How much is the average accident settlement in Texas?

    The average personal injury settlement in Texas is approximately $15,443. This range can vary from case to case. Key determinants include the severity and long-term impact of the injuries, the extent of property damage, the level of clear liability of the other party, the specific circumstances of the accident, and the negotiation abilities of the parties involved. Minor accidents with negligible injuries might result in settlements of a few thousand dollars, whereas severe accidents causing significant injury or disability can result in settlements or jury awards in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars.

  • Is there a time limit to file a claim in Texas?

    Yes. There is a two-year time limit to file your car accident claim in Texas. This is called the Texas statute of limitations. It may be best to hire an attorney as soon as you can to review your case. Under Texas law, a driver who is not at fault for an accident could be entitled to compensation because Texas is not a "no-fault" state.
