Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in McAllen?

Texas applies a two-year statute of limitations to most personal injury claims. Government-vehicle and city-property cases require a notice of claim within six months. Missing either deadline usually bars recovery, so early case evaluation matters.

What does a McAllen personal injury attorney typically charge?

Most Texas personal injury firms work on a contingency fee of 33%–40% of the recovery, with no fee if there is no recovery. Case expenses such as records, expert reports, and filing fees are usually advanced by the firm. Always ask for a written engagement letter listing the contingency tier.

Where will my Hidalgo County injury case be filed?

Most Hidalgo County personal injury suits are filed at the Hidalgo County District Court at 100 North Closner Boulevard in Edinburg. Smaller claims may go to a justice court in McAllen. Many cases settle before trial through mediation in the same complex.
