How we match your College Station car accident case

When you submit a College Station car accident matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A car accident matter needs someone who handles car accident work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Texas law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Texas who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

A crash inside Brazos County is generally litigated in the Brazos County District Courts, though smaller claims can be heard at the county or justice court level. If the wreck happened outside the county, that county's courts usually apply. An attorney will confirm venue based on where the crash occurred and who the defendants are.

In Texas, responsibility can be divided among the people involved, and insurers routinely argue you share some of it to reduce what they pay. Crash-scene photos, the police report, dashcam or business camera footage, and witness statements are what push that argument back. An attorney can gather those before they disappear.

Texas sets filing deadlines that vary with the type of claim and whether a government entity or public vehicle is involved, and some involve much shorter notice requirements. Do not guess at the number. Have a Texas attorney confirm the specific deadline for your case as soon as you can.

Two years from the date of the crash for personal injury and property damage under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. Claims against governmental units under the Texas Tort Claims Act (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 101.101) require notice within 6 months.

You pursue the at-fault driver and their liability insurer directly. Texas does not require no-fault PIP, though PIP is offered as an option. If you contributed to the crash, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you’re more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 33.001.
