Houston Personal Injury Attorney

When you hire the Hollingsworth Law Firm for a personal injury matter, you will owe us nothing upfront. If we do not win and obtain a financial recovery for your case, you will not have to pay any attorney’s fees or cost associated with our representation.

We offer a no obligation consultation to you at no cost. It is vital to get to know you and learn the details of your case. During the consultation, you will have a face to face meeting with one of our experienced personal injury trial attorneys. During this meeting we will discuss your concerns and answer your questions, and help explain your legal options. We will also discuss with you the medical treatment options if needed, and how we are going to investigate and develop your case. Most importantly, we will take the time to listen and answer any question you have.

Do not admit fault. Make sure you are in safe place, and call the police immediately. Take pictures of the scene and of any injuries you have if you are able. Exchange information with all the involved parties in the accident, including witnesses, and give a statement to the police. Most importantly, see a doctor, even if you think you are not injured or your injuries are minor. Sometimes, your pain might be masked by the shock of the accident, and later develop to be more severe.

Choosing the right personal injury attorney for your case can be overwhelming, especially when you are injured and are potentially without transportation. Moreover, you might start receiving harassing phone calls from people you don’t know, claiming they can obtain a big settlement for your case or trying to tell you what medical clinic to go to. These calls are illegal and unethical. No one will be able to evaluate the value of your case without details and an investigation. Do not allow people to lie to you and press you to sign up with an attorney you are not comfortable with.

The attorney you choose matters. Do not get hurt twice! Here at the Hollingsworth Law Firm, we provide honest and expert legal solutions for your personal injury case.

You might be worried sick about how to pay your medical bills after being injured. Should I use my medical insurance? What if I don’t have medical insurance? Every case is different. Coordinating your medical treatment involves strategy, experience and knowledge of the law. There are many options. Give us a call to schedule a free consultation and let us help you plan your next step and ease the worry and fear that can cloud your good judgment.

Here are some key factors to determine how much your personal injury case is worth: Liability, damages and insurance coverage. Each case is unique and there is no magic formula to figure out how much your case is worth without consulting with an experienced personal injury attorney.

With 50 plus jury trials as lead counsel, in over a dozen counties in Texas, attorney Steve Hollingsworth has already tried more cases to juries than most lawyers do in their entire careers. Don’t sign up with attorneys that try to pressure you to settle your case early because they have never even seen the inside of a courtroom or stood in front of a jury.

The duration of cases can vary significantly. Some cases takes at least a year from the date of filing, and some may take just a few months. We understand your frustrations, but the more complicated your case is, the longer it takes to settle unless you are prepared to take pennies on the dollar and receive a lot less than you deserve. If you simply cannot wait and are thinking of settling your case early, you should still consult with a personal injury attorney and receive a fair and honest assessment or your situation.

You may still be able to receive a settlement even if you are partially at fault in an accident. Insurance companies will try to reach out to you and record a statement from you after the accident. They hope that you will say something so they can blame you for the accident. Do not talk to them without consulting with an attorney first. What you say can greatly impact how much your personal injury case is worth.

Understand the reason you are not happy with your current attorney first. If you are not happy with a court ruling, or frustrated with the slow timeline, carefully consider if another attorney would or could have gotten a different result. Changing attorneys might slow down the process because your new attorney needs time to get up to speed, and may even cost money if your current attorney decides to bill you for their time and resources spent or retain a fee interest in your case.

However, there are many legitimate reasons to fire your current attorney. If they are not professional or ethical, do not communicate with you, or simply do not show the dedication and compassion towards your case that you deserve, you have options to end the relationship. Review your contract and express your concern with your current attorney. If they are unable or unwilling to remedy the problem, send a certified or registered letter that clearly states you are terminating the relationship, and that the lawyer is to cease working on any pending matters. After that, contact an experienced and honest personal injury attorney to evaluate your case.
