What crash victims ask before they call

What does it cost to hire you?

Nothing up front. Free consultation, contingency fee — you pay no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you.

The adjuster is already calling. What do I say?

Nothing — send them to me. Recorded statements are used to shrink your claim. Once you hire Suerken Law, every call goes through your lawyer.

What if I was partly at fault?

You can still recover as long as you're not more than 50% responsible under Texas law — your recovery is just reduced by your share. Don't let an adjuster decide that percentage for you.

Should I see a doctor if I feel okay?

Yes, right away. Whiplash, concussions, and soft-tissue injuries often surface days later — and the medical record is the backbone of your claim.

How We Handle Car Accident Cases

The insurer has a playbook. So do we.

Insurance companies resolve thousands of claims a month, and their playbook is consistent: contact you fast, get a recorded statement, question your injuries, and offer a quick check before you know what your case is worth. It works on unrepresented people. It does not work on prepared ones.

Our job starts with evidence: the crash report, scene photos, vehicle damage, witness statements, and where it matters, camera footage and vehicle data. Then we document your damages completely — every bill, every missed paycheck, your future treatment, and the human cost that doesn't show up on a receipt.

Then we negotiate from strength. Most cases settle when the insurer sees an airtight file and a lawyer ready to try the case. If they won't pay what's fair, we file suit — in Harris County, El Paso County, or wherever your crash happened. You approve every decision along the way.

Rear-endings, intersection collisions, hit-and-runs, uninsured drivers, rideshare crashes — if a careless driver put you here, we take it from here. In English or Spanish.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What should I do after a car accident in Texas?
Get medical care first, even if you feel fine — some injuries take days to appear. Don't admit fault or give recorded statements to any insurer. Photograph the scene, vehicles, and injuries, get the crash report number, and talk to a lawyer before an adjuster talks to you.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
Texas uses proportionate responsibility: you can still recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault, with your compensation reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurers routinely exaggerate your share — don't accept their number as final.
What is my car accident case worth?
It depends on your damages: medical bills, lost wages, future treatment, and pain and suffering. We build the complete picture before negotiating so the insurer sees the full cost of what happened to you.
What if the other driver has no insurance?
You may still recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage or personal injury protection (PIP). Texas insurers must offer both, and many drivers carry them without realizing it. We read your policy for free.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Texas?
Generally two years from the date of the crash. Claims against government entities can require formal notice within months — call sooner rather than later.
