Frequently Asked Questions

Questions people ask us.

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in McAllen? +
Carreras Law Firm works on contingency, so there is no upfront cost to hire us. We only get paid if we win your case.
What should I do after a car accident in Texas? +
Call 911 and get medical attention, document the scene, get the other driver's information, and contact an attorney before speaking with any insurance adjuster.
How long does a personal injury case take? +
Most personal injury cases resolve within 6 to 18 months, depending on injury severity and whether litigation is required.
Can I sue if I was partially at fault in Texas? +
Yes, as long as you are found 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor injury? +
Even minor injuries are often undervalued by insurers. A free consultation costs nothing and protects you before you sign anything.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance? +
If you carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, that policy can compensate you. We review every available policy to find every source of recovery.
How much is my personal injury case worth? +
There is no fixed formula. Case value depends on injury severity, coverage, fault, and lost income. A free evaluation gives you a real answer.
Does Carreras Law Firm speak Spanish? +
Yes. Carreras Law Firm is fully bilingual, and language is never a barrier to getting the help you need.
