Personal injury FAQs
How much does it cost to hire The Relentless Lawyer?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means your consultation is free and you pay no attorney's fees unless we recover money for you. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
In most Texas personal injury cases the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. Some claims have shorter notice deadlines — especially those involving a government entity — so it's important to call us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Should I talk to the insurance company before hiring a lawyer?
We strongly recommend you speak with us first. Insurance adjusters are trained to get recorded statements and quick lowball settlements that can hurt your case. Let us handle all communication so nothing you say is used to reduce what you're owed.
What if I don't have health insurance after my accident?
You can still get treated. We work with a network of trusted Rio Grande Valley doctors and specialists who often treat injury victims on a lien — meaning no upfront cost — and are paid out of your settlement at the end.
Do you serve both McAllen and San Juan?
Yes. We have offices in both McAllen (317 W. Nolana Ave) and San Juan (101 S. Nebraska Ave, Ste 5), and we serve injured clients throughout the entire Rio Grande Valley, including Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco, Harlingen, and Brownsville.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Every case is different. The value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost income, how the accident has affected your life, and the available insurance. We evaluate your case for free and give you an honest assessment — no false promises.
