What If You Feel "Okay" After the Crash?
Here's something we've seen over and over: a client doesn't feel terrible right after the crash, and they're relieved. So they skip the doctor. A few days later, their neck locks up, they can't focus, or their lower back begins to radiate pain.
Car accident injuries can be deceptively delayed.
Some of the most common we help clients address include:
- Whiplash or soft tissue sprains;
- Back pain, herniated discs, sciatica;
- Fractured ribs or limbs from airbag or impact trauma;
- Joint displacement in shoulders and knees;
- Concussions and other forms of traumatic brain injury (TBI); and
- Psychological side effects, including high anxiety and panic while driving.
We work with medical experts to document your injuries fully—from ER visits to therapy notes—and connect them directly to the crash, building a claim that accurately shows how your life has been affected.
The Hidden Cost: Mental Recovery No One Talks About
There's a part of car accident injury recovery that doesn't show up on X-rays.
It might look like avoiding certain intersections. Losing sleep. Feeling irritable or shut down. Or, not being able to get behind the wheel without white knuckles and a racing heart.
We take the emotional and psychological aftermath of a car crash just as seriously as the medical bills. Counseling records, personal narratives, and expert evaluations can all be part of a claim that reflects the actual cost of this wreck.
Whether the crash happened last night or last month, we're here to help you understand your options and fight for what you deserve.

How a Car Accident Lawyer in Atascocita Helps You Recover More
According to a Martindale-Nolo survey, injured car accident victims who hired an attorney recovered, on average, 3.5 times more compensation than those who handled their claims themselves.
When Pierce Skrabanek handles your car accident case, we:
- Launch an investigation to preserve and gather key evidence;
- Identify all liable parties and relevant insurance carriers;
- Handle calls and paperwork with the insurance companies;
- Work with doctors, employers, and experts to build proof of your damages;
- Negotiate from a position of documented strength; and
- File lawsuit papers if a settlement isn't fair or forthcoming.
Sometimes, a full recovery comes through negotiation. Other times, it takes trial. We prepare for both, every time.
What Can a Car Accident Claim Cover in Atascocita?
Your claim should reflect what happened to you physically, emotionally, and financially. In Texas, you can pursue:
Economic Damages
- Emergency care, hospital bills, imaging, prescriptions, physical therapy;
- Future medical treatment if more care is needed;
- Lost wages from time missed at work;
- Lost earning potential if you can't return to your job; and
- Cost of renting or replacing a damaged vehicle.
Noneconomic Damages
- Pain and suffering—both physical and emotional;
- Mental anguish or trauma;
- Reduced ability to enjoy life, hobbies, or time with family;
- Disfigurement or permanent impairment; and
- Loss of companionship in wrongful death cases.
Car accident damages aren't a one-size-fits-all number. We calculate everything based on your circumstances, then fight until we get a resolution that respects what you've been through.
Verdicts That Reflect What Our Clients Went Through
We've recovered millions on behalf of individuals whose lives were disrupted by sudden, preventable collisions.
$117 Million Verdict for Ambulance Crash Injury

$2 Million Trial Verdict for Motor Vehicle Collision

Why Choose Pierce Skrabanek?
In personal injury law, the difference often comes down to who's willing to prepare more, push harder, and keep going when the insurer says, "This is all we'll pay."
That's where Pierce Skrabanek stands out.
We've been recognized by:
- Super Lawyers®
- The Million Dollar Advocates Forum®
- National Trial Lawyers Top 100®
But those are just titles. The real difference is personal. We take the time to understand how this crash shows up in your life, not just in your paperwork. We don't hand you off. We provide you with answers, and if necessary, we take your case to trial.
After Your Crash: First Steps in Atascocita
Whether you were hit yesterday or three weeks ago, here's what you can do now:
- Get medical care, even if it seems minor. Documentation protects both your health and your claim. We often hear clients say, "I thought I was okay," until pain showed up days later.
- Request a crash report. If the Harris County Sheriff's Office or DPS responded, their report offers critical evidence. We can also assist you in gathering this information if needed.
- Avoid early calls with the insurance adjuster. Their job is to limit what they pay, not help you recover. You don't owe them a recorded statement before speaking to your Atascocita auto accident attorney.
- Track everything the crash affects. From work shifts you had to miss, to trouble sleeping or limited movement—if it changed after the wreck, write it down. This helps us measure impact.
- Call an Atascocita car accident attorney who can protect your rights. We're here to help you understand whether you have a valid claim and how to move forward without making costly mistakes.
