Personal Injury

Accidents happen in an instant, but their consequences can last a lifetime. Medical bills, lost income, physical pain, and emotional suffering can overwhelm victims and their families. At The Santos Law Firm, PLLC, we understand the challenges injury victims face, and we are committed to standing by your side every step of the way.

Our mission is to provide aggressive, effective, and compassionate legal representation to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the compensation you deserve.

What Is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law protects individuals who have been harmed by the careless, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or company. If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim or lawsuit.

At The Santos Law Firm, we pursue justice for injury victims and hold negligent parties accountable.

Common Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Every case is unique, but many personal injury claims fall into common categories. Our firm has experience handling a wide range of cases, including:

• Car Accidents – Collisions caused by distracted, speeding, or intoxicated drivers.
• Truck Accidents – Catastrophic crashes involving 18-wheelers and commercial vehicles.
• Motorcycle Accidents – Protecting riders who face severe injuries after a collision.
• Slip and Fall Accidents – Injuries caused by unsafe conditions on another’s property.
• Workplace Injuries – Including third-party liability claims in addition to workers’ compensation.
• Wrongful Death – Helping families pursue justice and compensation when a loved one’s life is taken due to negligence.

Time Limits for Filing a Claim in Texas

Personal injury cases are subject to strict deadlines known as the statute of limitations. In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to compensation. That’s why it is critical to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your injury.
