At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our Houston car accident and injury attorneys know that if you are hurt in a Texas crash and the other driver is clearly liable, you may believe the insurance company will acknowledge that and pay for your damages.
Unfortunately, on top of your severe injuries, a pile of medical bills, and lack of income from being away from work, the insurance company — almost always — will dispute your claim if they don’t deny it right away.
This financial strain may be holding you back from hiring a personal injury attorney. Often, injury victims think the costs associated with partnering with a lawyer mean they’ll get less from their settlements. The reality is that the opposite is true.
According to the Insurance Research Council, accident victims with legal representation receive settlements nearly 3.5 times higher than those without. That is the first reason you shouldn’t represent yourself in a Texas car accident claim.
Here are four more.

Our Dedicated Texas Car Accident Attorneys Know How Much Your Claim is Worth
Our Houston personal injury attorneys rely on our experience, knowledge of the law, and an understanding of the specific details of your case to estimate its worth.
Here are some key factors we consider when assessing the value of a case:
- Extent of Injuries
The severity and long-term impact of your injuries play a significant role in determining the value of your case. Medical records, expert opinions, and the need for ongoing medical treatment are considered.
- Medical Expenses
We will assess the total cost of medical treatment, including hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, prescription medications, and any other medical expenses related to your injuries.
- Lost Wages
If your injuries resulted in missed work or a diminished ability to earn income in the future, your attorney will calculate the value of these economic losses.
- Pain and Suffering
Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life, are subjective but significant components of a personal injury claim. Our attorneys often use multipliers to estimate these damages based on economic losses.
- Permanent Disability or Disfigurement
If your injuries result in a permanent disability or disfigurement, the value of your case may increase to account for the long-term impact on your life.
Our Trusted Houston Auto Accident Lawyers Know How to Negotiate with Insurance Companies
Typically, negotiations start with our attorneys sending a demand letter to the at-fault party’s insurance company. This letter outlines the details of the case, the damages suffered, and a specific monetary demand for compensation.
We leverage the strengths of our legal arguments during negotiations, which include highlighting the strength of the evidence, emphasizing the other party’s liability, and explaining the legal basis for the damages claimed.
If negotiations fail to produce a fair settlement, we will inform the insurance company that we are trial-ready and will move your claim inside a courtroom to ensure the best outcome. The prospect of litigation can sometimes motivate the other party to reconsider and reach a more favorable settlement.
