We've spent over 30 years combined fighting for crash victims across Texas, and we know how to deal with insurers who want you to settle for less than you deserve.

Why Car Crashes Happen So Often in Cypress

Cypress is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in Texas—and with that growth comes commuter congestion, stressed-out drivers, and distracted navigation. Certain roads in Cypress see accidents every single day, often in the same high-risk areas we see across client case files.

Common accident hotspots include:

  • Highway 290, particularly where it intersects with Grand Parkway;
  • Barker Cypress Road, especially at Tuckerton, Jarvis, and FM 529;
  • Fry Road at FM 529, known for aggressive merges and turn conflicts; and
  • Long stretches of Telge Rd and Huffmeister, where speeding is common.

Add in heavy 18-wheeler traffic, long school carpool lines, and a growing number of teen drivers, and it's not hard to see why Cypress roads can feel like obstacle courses.

Some of the most frequent crashes we handle locally include:

  • Rear-end collisions in dense stop-and-go lanes,
  • Intersection T-bone or left-turn accidents,
  • Side-swipes from unsafe lane changes or split-second decisions,
  • Distracted driving crashes (texting or GPS usage),
  • Crashes involving construction detours or signage issues, and
  • Commercial vehicle wrecks involving Amazon or FedEx vans, rideshare drivers, or box trucks.

Whatever the source, here's what matters: if someone else's carelessness caused your injuries, you may have the right to full compensation.

And we're here to fight for every dollar of it.

What Makes Cypress Car Wrecks Uniquely Difficult?

Cypress presents a particular kind of challenge: it has all the traffic risks of Houston proper without the big-city infrastructure to absorb it. Painful injuries often happen on suburban roads not designed to handle the current load of 80,000+ residents.

Combine that with:

  • Growing claims backlogs from overwhelmed insurers
  • Limited access to urgent care appts or specialists near 290
  • Inadequate crash reports from minor-hit responses
  • Commercial policyholders using aggressive defense teams

…and it's easy to see how a relatively "straightforward" wreck can become a long, uphill legal battle.

That's where we come in.

Don't Give the Insurance Company a Recorded Statement Without Legal Advice

After a crash, an insurance adjuster may seem friendly, but their goal is to get you on record saying something that limits your claim. They may ask confusing or leading questions like:

  • "You're feeling okay today, right?"
  • "Would you say you could have done anything differently?"
  • "You didn't go straight to the ER, so it wasn't urgent?"

Even innocent answers can be twisted to dispute your injuries or suggest partial fault.

You have the right to decline a recorded statement. It's safest to wait until you've spoken with a Cypress car accident lawyer who can protect your rights and guide you on how to respond.

After a collision, the other driver's insurer may try to offer a quick payout—but it rarely matches what your recovery is truly worth. 

At Pierce Skrabanek, we've fought for injured Texans for over 30 years—recovering millions in verdicts and settlements. You focus on healing. We'll handle the rest.

Call (832) 690-7000 or reach out online to speak with a Cypress car accident attorney now.

Injuries We Commonly See in Cypress Car Accidents

Even crashes that "don't feel that bad" at first can result in injuries that linger—and worsen over time.

At Pierce Skrabanek, we represent car crash victims suffering from:

  • Soft tissue injuries (neck, back, shoulder strain);
  • Herniated discs and sciatica;
  • Lacerations, broken bones, or rib bruising from airbags or seatbelts;
  • Joint dislocation (knees, wrists, hips);
  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI); and
  • PTSD, driving anxiety, or other mental health effects,

A car accident lawyer in Cypress will work with your doctors and independent medical experts to document these injuries fully, making sure they're connected to the crash in a legally persuasive way. That includes medical records, impact statements, therapy notes, and projected long-term costs.

Insurance companies may doubt you. We make sure your claim speaks for itself.

What Can I Recover After a Cypress Car Accident?

Every car accident claim in Texas is different. But in general, we pursue two categories of damages:

Economic Losses

These are the clear financial costs you've had to bear as a result of the crash:

  • Hospital bills and follow-up treatment;
  • Prescription medications, imaging, and surgery;
  • Physical therapy and rehab;
  • Lost wages from time off work;
  • Reduced long-term earning ability; and
  • Car repair or replacement costs.

Noneconomic Losses

These are just as real, though harder to put a dollar amount on until documented by a Cypress car accident attorney:

  • Physical pain and suffering;
  • Emotional distress or trauma;
  • Loss of enjoyment of life;
  • Reduced ability to drive, work, or care for family; and
  • Permanent injury or disfigurement.

Why Hire a Cypress Auto Accident Lawyer?

According to a comprehensive Martindale-Nolo study, personal injury victims who hired a lawyer received 3.5x more in compensation on average than those who went it alone.

That's not a coincidence. Insurers respond to preparation. Power. Pressure.

When you work with Pierce Skrabanek:

  • You get a legal team that builds your case from the ground up.
  • We deal with the paperwork, adjusters, and legal deadlines.
  • We collect and protect evidence before it disappears.
  • We calculate what your claim is actually worth, not just what the insurer says it is.
  • We aren't afraid to take it to trial if negotiation fails.
"When you've been hurt in a crash, you don't just need a lawyer—you need someone ready to fight for everything you've lost, not just what's on a receipt."

— Paul Skrabanek, Founding Attorney

Insurance Companies Are Not On Your Side—But We Are

From the moment the other driver contacts their insurer, their job becomes protecting their bottom line, not your well-being.

We've seen every trick in the book:

  • Lowball offers within 48 hours of the wreck;
  • Requests for recorded statements that twist your words;
  • Delays designed to frustrate you into settling;
  • Claims that your injuries were "pre-existing"; and
  • Pressure to accept partial fault, even when it's not true.

We don't fall for it. And we don't let our clients get pushed around.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

We work entirely on contingency. That means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. A Cypress auto accident attorney can evaluate your case for free and explain what to expect before you commit to anything.

Do I have to go to court to get a fair settlement?

Not always. Most claims settle before trial, but we prepare every case with court in mind. That preparation often leads to stronger offers. Insurance companies take a Cypress auto injury lawyer seriously when they know the case has been built for trial from Day One.

What if the other driver wasn't insured?

You may still have options. Many drivers carry uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, which can apply when the other party lacks adequate insurance. A Cypress car crash lawyer can help review your policy and identify every possible source of recovery.

How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?

Texas generally gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim. But the longer you wait, the harder it can be to gather strong evidence. Reaching out early helps protect your rights and strengthens your case from the start.
