Common questions
Does it cost anything to request a case review?
Nothing. Whether an attorney takes your case or not, the review itself is free. If you do move forward, most personal injury attorneys work on contingency, meaning their fee is a slice of what they eventually win for you, not money you pay out of pocket today.
What happens after I request a review?
Your information goes to fixmyclaim.co, our intake partner, which routes it to a Texas attorney already handling cases like yours. If there's a fit, expect a call within one or two business days. If there isn't a match right now, you'll still get a straight answer either way.
If an attorney calls me, do I have to hire them?
Not at all. A case review is more like a free consultation than a commitment. Plenty of people use it to weigh their options, then decide later: handle the claim on their own, hire that attorney, or look elsewhere. There's no wrong choice on your end.
How much do personal injury attorneys typically charge?
Pricing depends on the attorney and the details of your case, but contingency arrangements are standard in this field: a cut of whatever you're eventually awarded, and nothing if the case doesn't pay out. Get the exact percentage in writing before you agree to anything.
What kinds of cases actually qualify?
Car crashes are the most common fit, but they're not the only one. Truck wrecks, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, and other situations where someone else caused the harm can all qualify. What matters most is whether another party's fault is reasonably clear and whether the crash happened recently enough to still act on. If you're unsure, the fastest way to find out is simply to ask.
My crash happened a while back. Is it too late?
Possibly not, and it's worth checking rather than assuming the worst. Texas law sets a two-year filing deadline from the date of the crash (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003). If that window hasn't closed, reaching out now still makes sense. If it has, a few narrow exceptions can apply, but they're the exception, not the rule, so ask before you write it off.
Is McAllen Accident Lawyer a real law firm?
No, despite what the name suggests. This site runs as a free advertising and lead generation service, not a law practice. Whoever reviews your case is a licensed Texas attorney working independently, with no staff relationship to this website.
I might be partly at fault. Should I still reach out?
Yes, still worth asking. Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule: fault under 51% still gets you paid, just reduced to match your share of the blame. Cross the 51% line and state law bars recovery entirely. Plenty of crash victims wrongly assume any fault disqualifies them, and that's usually not the case.
