At Pierce Skrabanek, our law firm operates on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not pay us upfront, and we only collect our fees after securing you a settlement or verdict. That means we cover the expenses associated with your lawsuit first. If we do not win for you, you do not owe us anything.
Soon after a lawsuit is filed, a “discovery” process begins. This is a formal exchange of information made with the opposing side. Lawyers will gather, request, and share information related to the trial, including medical records, incident reports, corporate documents, etc. This is work that your attorney handles on your behalf — we demand any hidden information the other side may be holding, and also work to protect your right to privacy regarding any information the other side is not entitled to see.
Your lawyers will consult with experts to add up past costs and project your future expense needs adjusted for inflation. We send a demand letter and enter negotiations with evidence supporting your claim. If the other side refuses to issue a fair settlement offer, we will take that evidence before a judge or jury.
It’s important to choose an established firm with proven results, as well as testimonials from people just like you in Texas and across the country.
Each state has a time limitation on how long after a crash you can file your claim. In Texas, that deadline is 2 years from the date of the accident. If you miss that deadline, no matter how strong your case may be, you will lose out on your chance to recover compensation.
It is extremely important that you contact Pierce Skrabanek at (832) 583-1862 before that expiration date arrives. Once you have our representation, we will meet all the legal deadlines associated with your case on your behalf.
