Personal Injury FAQs
Below are answers to common questions about personal injury claims in Texas. Because every situation is different, speak with an attorney for guidance about your specific case.
-
How much does it cost to hire Palker Law Firm for a personal injury case?
Palker Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning our fee is contingent on our ability to recover compensation for you. Our fee comes out of the total settlement we obtain, so if we don't win, you pay nothing. Your case starts with $0 in upfront fees, and you pay $0 out of your pocket at the end of the case. A win-win.
-
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. If your injury happened in Edinburg or McAllen and involved a government entity, such as a city vehicle or county-owned property, you may face a shorter notice window of six months to preserve your right to sue. If your case involves a commercial truck operated by a federally regulated carrier, additional federal rules may apply. Do not wait; the sooner you contact Palker Law Firm, the better protected your claim is.
-
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
The best way to know is to speak with one of our attorneys directly, at no charge and with no obligation. We will review your situation, tell you honestly whether you have a viable claim, and outline the best path forward. If your case is not one we can handle, we will connect you with the right attorney or referral service. Palker Law Firm serves clients throughout Hidalgo and Cameron counties, and across Texas.
-
What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury claim?
Texas personal injury law allows recovery for three categories of damages. Economic damages, including medical bills, lost wages, future care costs, and property repair. Non-economic damages, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Punitive damages, awarded in cases of extreme or intentional misconduct. An experienced personal injury attorney will evaluate your specific facts and pursue the maximum compensation available under Texas law.
-
Does Palker Law Firm require an appointment for a consultation?
No appointment necessary. Contact our Edinburg office day or night, 24/7/365, for a fast, free consultation. Prefer to meet by video or phone? We accommodate that too. Whatever works best for RGV residents, we make it happen.
-
How long should I wait before hiring a personal injury lawyer?
Do not wait. Most personal injury claims in Texas carry a two-year statute of limitations, but critical evidence, such as surveillance footage, black box data from a commercial truck, or witness recollections, disappears quickly. In cases involving government entities in Edinburg, McAllen, or Hidalgo County, you may have as little as six months to file a formal notice before your rights expire. The sooner you contact Palker Law Firm, the stronger your position.
-
How much does a personal injury lawyer typically cost?
Most personal injury lawyers, including Palker Law Firm, work on a contingency fee basis. That means no upfront cost, no hourly billing, and no fee unless we win. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or judgment. This model exists so that every injured person in the Rio Grande Valley has access to experienced legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.
-
What should I do immediately after an accident to protect my claim?
Five steps matter most in the hours after an injury. First, seek medical attention; go to DHR Health, South Texas Health System, or the nearest emergency facility. Your health comes first, and medical records establish the connection between the incident and your injuries. Second, document everything; photograph the scene, your injuries, any vehicles involved, and any hazardous conditions. Third, collect witness information, including names and contact details, while people are still present. Fourth, report the incident to police, your employer, or the property owner depending on the type of accident. Fifth, contact Palker Law Firm before speaking to any insurance adjuster. Once you call us, we handle the rest.
-
